  1. Yet the tory MP that said the labour deputy leader should be blown up with a bomb has nothing happen and simply fobs it off as a “joke”

    Good to see the police are still so firmly under the control of the Tories as ever… fucking sick

  2. Good he must pay the price for his dangerous outbursts. Also he is not much of a scientist… he was singing on the tube about wearing a mask and keeping a fart in your trousers forgetting that the size of the Methane molecule is 1000x smaller than covid…

  3. Well there is video footage of him saying it all over Twitter, so I suspect he’ll get away with some ridiculous non-sentence.

    Obligatory comment:
    I’m curious how the Met Police were able to investigate this based on it happening in the past and with lots of evidence.

  4. in the video, he is clearly saying it tongue in cheek, but to be fair, you can’t play around with this language. it’s incitement to violence.

  5. A new law is being passed to arrest RNLI volunteers if they save a drowning immigrant child in the channel- they could get up to 14 years.

    This is the world we live in, and these politicians are directly responsible.

  6. I haven’t had the Covid vaccine. I don’t think the evidence points towards it being a good choice for someone in my health demographic.

    I think Piers Corbyn is an idiot.

  7. Piers Corbyn is a weird one.

    He’s a grifter, those posh boy YouTubers ran a hidden camera sting on him and he was taking money to shill for unsavoury causes so he’s definitely in the whole conspiracy-for-cash game but he also comes out with stuff like this that is totally unnecessary as far as grifting goes, all the outrage merchant right wing pundits know fine well there’s a legal line you don’t cross on this stuff – you just lead your followers to a conclusion in other ways.

    Outrage and conspiracy is very profitable but you have to play the game, outright telling fuckwits to kill MPs is not part of the game. You tell them they’re victims, you direct them to whatever cause is paying you quietly but you don’t do things that get you arrested. You do the whole “just asking questions” thing, you never really outright tell people what to do.

  8. With current climate he going to find himself in a deeper trouble than before if he keeps up.

    He just got minor fined and sent on way. They might be facing bigger fines and warnings.

  9. >He was arrested in south London in the early hours of Sunday.

    >The force did not name Mr Corbyn, however it previously said it was assessing a video which appears to show him calling for direct action.

    >The video went viral on Saturday night but was believed to have been filmed earlier in the week.

    So they can investigate and make arrests for this after it happened, but not Number 10’s covid parties? Fuck the police

  10. Piers Corbyn is wrong here, but are we really pretending to be surprised that people are beginning to call for violence when elected officials abuse their office, public trust and more importantly the law while facing zero consequences?

    The Met refusing to investigate will only continue exasperate the idea that there’s no justice anymore and that there’s only one historically proven way to get it.

    This is why standards in office are so important, people will eventually snap.

  11. I misread this this morning and have thought all day that Piers Morgan had been arrested for this… Didn’t even question it in my head!

  12. Was only a matter of time, the mans an agent of chaos and makes money off it. It started after climate science overtook his wacky theories and showed them to be nonsense.

  13. > if your MP is one of them, go to their offices and, well, I would recommend burning them down, OK. But I can’t say that on air. I hope we’re not on air.

    Lmao I’m not sure that kind of disclaimer is sufficient.
