The friend of the enemy of my enemy's friend is a friend indeed. And you have also summed up with glistening clarity why Corbyn was so popular and won the last general election.

Nobody cares. 'Jews against Israel' will very certainly be a minority movement among Jews. Jews accusing a Jew (Hodge) of antisemitism? And you think that's good? The likes of Das Reich will be pissing themselves. Also, if a quarter of British Jews supported Corbyn (I will do the maths for...

In my union we have only one major boycott. Is it against China? Russia? Yemen? Saudi Arabia? Iran? Iraq? No..... Yes, you guessed it. We passed a motion to boycott everything to do with Israel: its science, its academic activities, its people. I could take it a bit seriously, and consider...

Very good post. I'm afraid that my posts on this thread have been suffused with anger. No doubt Corbyn is kindly and well-meaning. I really wanted to like him when he became leader..... But his total lack of introspection has landed us with five years of the worst, most venal and most useless...

Are you suggestion that 'the jews' are making it all up? Corbyn may giveth with one hand but he taketh with the other: https://www.thejlc.org/letter_to_jeremy_corbyn And as everyone should know, when someone is offensive and someone takes offense, it is not for the offender to do a Ron...

It was. But the needle and thread were supplied by Corbyn himself. And of course nobody was interested in his views, what he liked on Facebook or anything else before he became leader - because he was a joke of a nonentity back-bencher, mumbling into his beard. A whimsical curio. Mostly...

I would vote against, certainly. I would hope it would come to that only one or twice in my time as a backbencher, or I would have to question whether I was in the right party. In Corbyn's case voting against the labour position was his default! He is on record as being one if the most (if not...

Cheers :thumbsup: Yes, Corbyn isn't all bad, as a man, albeit I can understand how his refusal to criticise antisemitism by name is insulting to some, just as 'I condemn all forms of prejudice and white lives matter too' is insulting to others. Leadership, vision, communication skills, and...

This. The only people bringing up Corbyn these days are wistful old labourites so foolish they thought that Corbyn would win and save us all, encouraging Daily Mail reader types like potg to point and laugh at them. Personally I quite like a bit of publicity about Corbyn, especially now that...

Yes. I am aware of the narrarative that Corbyn would have been a great PM and his legacy was stolen by a conspiracy of tories, Starmer, the media and the other people you mentioned. Much the same was said about Michael Foot (defeated by Murdoch). Personally I regard this as patronizing because...

Would you welcome a decent socialist party with a view to their winning a general election? Or losing to the conservatives? There is a brand of odball in circulation now who think that labour is too right wing, so they have decided to vote tory. Like they have always done. Would that be you by...

There is the SWP. One can waste a vote there at any election (their ability to muster a deposit and a candidate not withstanding :facepalm:) The only interest to me is to have a party that can beat the tories (particularly now; not a real issue in the 70s when they were pleasingly 'wet', aka...

I was with you up to there. Mr Tony kept the wolf from the door for a bit but the electorate was not prepared to dare, and wimped out in favour of tory bullshit. To get in, and stay in long enough to make a difference, while pursuing a true left agenda will take a leader of charisma and...

Good to see the restoration of your powers :thumbsup:

Well, it is a Leaky thread. The man who started a thread declaring covid was a hoax (Ker-ching - one month ban). Were you expecting a coherent narrative? :shrug: In some respects it is sad to see Corbyn go the way of gorgeous George. I never had him down as a narcissist. A ****ing idiot...

But not the BLOTD. ??? :wink:

Come now. Let's not nit-pick over facts. :facepalm: Everyone knows that resurrecting the rotting corpse of Jeremy Corbyn and lionizing his importance is just another knavish trick that desperate Boris-lovers imagine they can use to dent the advance of Starmer-Labour :shrug: I'd heard that...

Me. I say he hasn't. And I don't even like him :shrug: Incidentally, have you made up you mind yet whether you hate Jermy Corbyn because he is about to take over the UK and run this great country into the ground, or hate Jeremy Corbyn because he is such a twit he's been usurped by the nice and...
