Corbyn suspended

[Purple]

@Persia, most of the people who wrote to The Guardian are Jewish so to people like Corbyn their opinions don't count.

Thanks @Persia for that Guardian letter.

I got as far as the second paragraph and read this.

"He simply did not act. He failed to engage with those who pointed out how toxic the party had become for Jews."

This is wholly contrary to the detailed actions listed on page 1 of this thread that he did take, from April 2016 to July 2018.

It was the National Executive member, under the stewardardship of Iain McNicol that set about obsfucating, obstructing and delaying Corbyns instructions to deal with allegations of anti-semitism within the Labour Party. McNicol would be responsible for administering the Leader of Oppositions Office under the instruction of party leader Corbyn.

This is from McNicol's wiki page

Thanks @Purple for that Guardian letter.

That was @Persia

I don't like Corbyn. I think he's an obnoxious person.

He suffers from that unforgivable arrogance so common amongst self proclaimed socialists epitomised by the belief that people who are to the right of them on economic and social issues are bad and selfish rather than they just hold a different opinion on what's best for society.

I also don't like his politics but the two are unrelated.

His perceived antisemitism could just be an extension of his anti-Americanism and general childish view of the world common amongst the pseudo-liberal left that Lenin so accurately described as useful idiots.

He reminds me of the old Workers Party/Democratic Left TD's but without the humour, humanity and general personal likeability.

Oh thank you, my error!

Why is liberal leftism childish?

Good question.

 

[extopia]

Good question.

I was asking you.

 

[Purple]

I was asking you.

I don't know why their world view is childish. I suppose it has something to do with forming your opinions at 14 and not changing them as you grow older. Most socialists grow old, they don't grow up.

Brilliant side-step Purple !?

 

[Purple]

Brilliant side-step Purple !?

He asked me why I thought they were childish. I answered the question.

 

[charlie007]

Of course, how stupid of me.

Somewhat related, and a great day for British politics. The treacherous Raynor is dumped by the Unite trade union.

This lamentable 'Labour' party is imploding in on itself.

I don’t know anything about her but;

That is good news for the Labour Party as unions in Britain and Ireland have metastasised into a cancer on society and the more distance between them and Labour the more electable Labour become.

Imagine how successful Labour would have been if the Union block vote hadn’t elected the wrong Milliband? If David had been elected instead of Ed then they would have won the next election and avoided the incompetence and division of Corbyn.

If it was just about winning elections just vote Conservative, or FF or whoever is most popular in the polls and favourite to win.

Its not, its about politics.

Labour Party in Britain has been hijacked by the soft tory, liberal voter. No problem, but when the Labour Party leadership cannot stand behind a bin workers strike then that says so much.

Bin workers do not go on strike to hold nations to ransom. They go on strike to pay the bills, put food on the table and provide for their families.
