Essentially, let the UK be Switzerland number 2 under Corbyn

But wait, Switzerland still has strong defence forces...

1. The Sun? You're bringing Murdoch's rag here for political point-scoring?

You have no shame.

2. What's wrong with Switzerland?

Anyway that's some really reliable stuff you're quoting. For starters, it's from that great fount of excellent journalism, 'The Sun'. Secondly, here is the Wikipedia entry for Harry Cole, the author of the piece:

'Harry Cole (born c. 1985)[1] is a British journalist. Cole is the co-editor of the pseudonymous blog Guido Fawkes with Paul Staines, Contributing Editor of The Spectator, columnist for Spectator Life, columnist for The Sun and GQ.[2]

Cole attended Tonbridge School,[3] before reading Politics at the University of Edinburgh. He was Vice-Chairman/Treasurer of the Edinburgh University Conservative Association[4] and Vice-President of Scottish Conservative Future. Cole wrote the ToryBear blog, focusing on Conservative student politics, before becoming the News Editor of the Guido Fawkes blog.[5]

Cole has written for publications including the Sunday Times and GQ.[1] He was voted the 28th most influential man in Britain by GQ in November 2011. Cole has primarily focused on politicians’ expenses scandals and government waste.[6]

In 2015, following the suspension of BBC Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson, Cole delivered a 1 million-strong petition which his journalistic organisation, Guido Fawkes started on Change.org to BBC Broadcasting House by means of a tank.[7][8]

His spelling and punctuation, and his opinions, have at times been commented upon in slightly unfavourable terms.[9]'

So he seems to be a consistent RW-er; and he is the co-editor of the utterly disgusting Guido Fawkes blog.

Do we really need his spoutings on DU?

3. To the person who called me "no shame"

May you drop in a lake and stay there.

4. If all you have to offer is ad hom abuse...

...then you really need to take a good long hard look at yourself before you post on here.

5. Why is it that you cannot tolerate any calls for the UK to be even slighly-less militarist?

It's not as though war is the only reason for Britain to exist.

What harm would come of the UK finding some way of relating to the world that wasn't totally "we don't want to fight, but by Jingo if we do, we've got the ships, we've got the men. And got the money too"? Why not at least consider peace as an option?

I seriously doubt that you'd actually support Labour under any of the current keadership candidates anyway. None of them are calling for totally maintaining the Blairite foreign policy tradition.

6. I wouldn't make that assumption

We don't know what our trolling friend thinks of Burnham, Cooper and Kendall. Any time said poster is asked about those 3 they don't reply.
