However, in recent times locally and on the Labour circuit, John has supported issues I disagree with and seeing photos of him at ease in the company of Corbyn and Adams, well that says it all and for me, perhaps Hayes would be a different place if the political landscape were different.
I wouldn't read too much into him being seen with Adams. The Prince of Wales shook his hand a few short weeks ago and Her Maj shook the hand of the ex leader of the Londonderry Brigade of the IRA and the man who kicked off the events of bloody Sunday by firing a sub machine gun at soldiers McGuinness.
Distasteful as it is to deal with these people the bonus of peace in the province has made it worthwhile.
Adams was pressing the flesh with Blair himself at the time of the Good Friday Agreement.
Both McDonell and Corbyn are conviction politicians, they believe in the message they preach albeit abject socialism. Nothing wrong that with that indeed I wish more politicians would make their own views more transparent, that way you would know what you are getting.
The trouble is in the society we live in today with ever increasing debt levels both at state and personal level we simply cannot afford socialism.
Democracy is all about them being able to put their views though and trying to convince people to vote for them.....
Corbyn is not the right man to lead the Labour party, he would in fact make it unelectable and add to the problems the SNP have caused them north of the border. The Tories of course would love him to be elected.
All at a time when we need a strong opposition to hold the Government to account.
