To think Corbyn despises Britain?

I don't think Corbyn hates Britain. He hates the USA which (for all its flaws, particularly the underclass) is the world's great power and leader in technology. He can't forgive the USA for achieving this status via capitalism because he believes that socialism is inevitable (an old Militant Labour slogan), even though it has never worked properly anywhere it's been tried.

Rather than change his mind, he has dedicated his life to proving that the USA is the bad guy and that their opponents such as Iran, Russia and Hamas are misunderstood. He was allowed to stay in Labour for decades as an irrelevance, until the party membership succumbed to the sentimental view that they had lost in 2015 because they weren't radical enough. That wasn't the case, it was because Cameron did OK in his first term - I think we can say that now after the last ten years of turmoil - and incumbent PMs don't get ejected unless they are struggling.

His leadership of Labour ultimately reduced them to their worst result for 80 years. "Oh, Jeremy Corbyn!" was a bit of fun at a music festival, not a political realignment. And the OP is right in that he is just a classic protest politician. So why worry about him?

It is getting a bit chilly at night now. Rioters don't like getting cold.

It’s almost as though there is yet another smear campaign starting!

Untrue about the allotments. Even the National Allotment Society says so.

I'm fascinated to hear how "spoke about the Hiroshima bombing" and "opposes the Gaza genocide" equate to hating Britain.

Does loving Britain have to exclude those things?

They might have won the battle, but they certainly haven’t won the war. The war is coming

It’s bloody marvellous this lunatic is creating a new party, creates the perfect path for left wing decimation

'Apparently he's a good constituency MP'

He's a good enough MP for some of his constituents, but not for those who do not meet his cookie-cutter model of political worthiness, e.g. white middle classes from whence he came.

His election team in 2024 fought a particularly dirty campaign to discredit the official Labour Party campaign. Left a sour taste.

Corbyn is on his last lap in Islington. He may or may not be voted in again as an independent.

I have no intention of risking my life for Britain. I wouldn’t lift a finger to defend a country that hates itself, is ashamed of its past and has completely lost its identity. The left have won. They’ve got what they wanted. They’ve used mass immigration to impose a new identity on us, and they’ve used the publishing industry to demonise our national heroes and ridicule our history. Just talk a stroll around the history section of Waterstones. It might as well be re-named the ‘how Britain ruined the world’ section. I’ve long since given up on Radio 4. The final straw was a programme on Jane Austen. Within five minutes the guests were talking about sugar plantations, and that was it, they spent the rest of the programme discussing colonialism and slavery. The left have created a new country with a new identity, and THEY can go and defend it. Owen Jones can go fight. In fact, all those smug, sneering Oxbridge liberals can go. Good luck when you’ve got Owen Jones and Stewart Lee and Louis Theroux as the first line of defence.😀

Same.

Apparently Labour are taking away allotments and Jezza has one, so I think that shows a pro-UK sentiment in him and an anti-UK sentiment in the government that means I am conflicted, as usual. This government has a terrible fear of growing food which I find quite scary though.

Of course he can. He had no authority, no power, no function and no real commitment to the peace process. His talking to the IRA achieved absolutely nothing.

Shall we aim for the hat trick?

Have a great evening.

Ha ha we agree again.... this is starting to be a habit....

I don't disagree but if Thatcher was having talks with the IRA, then he cannot he criticised for doing the same.

A pacifist who refuses to denounce fundamentalist terrorism? Doesn't sound very pacifistic

Deck chairs + titanic.

Labour clearly have bigger problems.

Obviously people in both Tory and Labour governments were involved n negotiation to being about peace in Northern Ireland. Corbyn nothing constructive to further peace. He was completely marginal.

Margarite Thatcher authorised high level talks with the IRA in the 80s, which led to the GFA... which ended the violence.

I don't recall her being vilified for that.

😂😂😂😂
Yes, everything that mob says is the absolute truth!

I think you’re the only one seeing it that way.

Also the difference in death toll probably played a part in the different weight given.

A quick Google shows approx 150,000 and 246,0000 civilian were killed in the bombings which is an astronomical number.

Why do you think that?
