Jeremy Corbyn,the hard-left Labour MP who is tipped to lead the party, has been accused of "doing nothing" over child abuse in his constituency during the 1970s and 1980s.
Dozens of vulnerable children were raped and sexually abused in care homes run by the London borough of Islington.However most of the abusers escaped justice because allegations made at the time by victims were ignored and many files, which contained corroborating evidence, have been lost or shredded.
John Mann, a Labour MP, has sent Mr Corbyn an open letter in which he says that his failure to do more to tackle child abuse means it would be "inappropriate" for him to become Labour leader.
Just for clarification – Islington survivors and whistleblowers have been raising this for 23 years – its not new to us. We sought assistance from both MPs at the time. It would be so easy for Corbyn to say a few words . . .
Sounds like a man without a sack to me..but keep up with your liberal agenda. Will be hilarious to see you begging for Americas help once you realize you have lost your nation to Muslims.

Thats right, I honestly believe that the people of the UK should be voting Labour, Labour is no long the party of Blair and Brown but rather is now the party of the working people with strong liberal and socialist values at its core. Corybn is our populist candidate and I went through and I had a look at some of his previous work in parliament and found some pretty interesting stuff.
I just love this first video, he is standing up to the posh toffs
Years latter and the torries are still at it
This is a video of him sticking it to Thatcher
He spoke out against the Iraq war, one of the few sitting MPs who actually fought against that war
This guy also is a vegetarian who does not drink, does not own a car because he only rides his bike, has spoken out against nukes and remember that whole MP expenses scandal..... he had the lowest expenses level of any MP.
I think he is the real deal, usually I vote SNP, this year am voting labour, its partly a tactical vote because I really want that hag out of government and labour are the only party i believe will be able to kick her and her posh cronies out.

75% of younger voters voted to remain.
I think however the issue of brexit is a bit off topic. I was only mentioning it to demonstrate how younger voters are in strong disagreement with decisions made regarding their future being made by older voters.
Yes I know they are - their lack of life experience drives that disagreement.
So what people disagree with you because of lack of life experience.
Rubbish.
I have a younger brother, he has two degrees, has traveled all over the world and been actively involved in politics, he is 25
But what because you are older than him your view carries more weight
No, younger people in general have less life experience and are less aware of the real world impacts of political decisions. That doesn't mean their views carry less weight, they are just not as informed in general.
Your answer by the way, is a classic example... Having two degrees does not give one life experience or great judgement... those who have degrees usually understand that when they get older.

Pardon? The evil Tories destroyed what exactly and when? How, exactly, could the Tories gain political points "by making the public suffer"?
It seems to me that the left constantly bang on about the Tories as if they are some sort of pantomime villains whose sole purpose in life is to do evil like closing hospitals and sending little children up chimneys.
I'm only surprised that you have not yet blamed Thatcher for the ills of the country.

Linking a Right Wing Tory Rag with an article about Corbyn won't add to your credibility.
