Why do people not like Jeremy Corbyn?

He doesn’t have the depth to manage international relations that are complicated such as US, Russia, etc. He will always make it about an ideological fantasy (and I’m saying this as a left wing person), and get us in very dangerous situations

Monstrous Anger of the Guns lays bare the dark and deceitful world of the global arms trade, which, often funded in our name, is a business that counts its profits in billions and its losses in human lives

The activists should send a copy to Putin and Kim Jong. Sounds right up their street.

Book

The monstrous anger of the guns.

‘Devastating testimony. Faultless research. It’s impossible to exaggerate the timeliness of this powerfully written book’ Peter Oborne, journalist and broadcaster
‘The importance of this book cannot be overstated’ Mary Nazzal, barrister and legal activist
We are seeing injustices caused by war and occupation unfold in real-time via social media, and we are speaking out in our millions against these horrors. Yet, from Gaza to Ukraine, the bombs continue to fall. We must understand why this is happening if we are to end it.
Monstrous Anger of the Guns lays bare the dark and deceitful world of the global arms trade, which, often funded in our name, is a business that counts its profits in billions and its losses in human lives. Leading activists and campaigners connect the dots, showing how notions of citizenship, democracy and trust in governments are misguided, and how we can fight back by building mass movements, using direct action and legal justice to end the flow of weapons and the environmental and human devastation they bring.

No. Getting more weapons means that hostile countries like Russia will think twice about attacking us or other NATO members. Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal....

He is the opposite of all you said.

Getting more weapons doesn't make us safe it means more wars you have to keep using the weapons. wars, more weapons. Arms manufacturers glad.

Non proliferation treaty makes more sense.
Welfare not warfare.

You have to care about the oppressed to try make a difference.

He is not weak he is strong to stand by his principals

Starmer went off course on brexit on purpose changed the brexit vote offered.

Corbyn is a big no from me. He lacks patriotism and sees the world through a lens of who is the most oppressed. While he may be ‘principled’ and a decent MP, his career is full of questionable ideas and associations. He was hopeless on Brexit and foolish on nuclear disarmament in a dangerous world. He is weak, naive and poses a serious threat to our countries security. I see him as much as a populist with simple answers to complex problems as Farage but from the other side.

I thought I hadn't posted it, I was able to correct a spelling error also.

Why have you copied and pasted your post of three days ago?

Starmer kicked out of his party many Jews who stood up against Israel's racism against Palestinians, they were the wrong type of Jew apparently. Thousands joined Labour before Starmer now thousands have left.because of Starmer his polices or lack and his support for Isreal's Genocide. Never again means never again for all people.

I'm always intrigued by his background. His brother Piers is clearly an oddbod too. How did his parents justify sending his kids to a private school and then an elitist grammar and living in a manor house while still being members of the Labour Party. I know there's always some attempt at justification wheeled out in all these contradictory cases of lefties being hypocrites but it never really washes.I suppose his parents set the example.that you can ride two bikes at the same time. That must go for a lot of the Labour Party.

Judge a man by the company he keeps is the saying.

The man in question keeps very interesting company that appear on various terrorist watchlists.

I do believe he has some kind of saviour complex and thinks he's sticking it to the 'establishment' not realising that those he favours see him as a useful idiot.

He may well be a good constituency MP, but he was an utter catastrophe as Labour leader and that is how he has impacted most people.

He is a good MP indeed, I know this personally. He's not infallible though and some of his views are questionable at best. He needs to listen to people other than those who tell him he's right all the time.

definitely got flack for his attitude to the IRA in the 80s and 90s but his stance is deeply anti violence which means he is willing to talk to terrorists if it thinks it might bring about peace. He cares very little if that makes him look bad or 'soft' or 'an apologist for terrorism
I think the issue with many pacifists ( like Corbyn who is cushioned from the consequences of aggression by his class and status) is that they end up victim blaming. Because if you have an aggressor who can just roll into a country and take over, there is no war ( eg Crimea) but if the victim of the aggression fights back you have a war (Ukraine). They end up coming up with ridiculous arguments like ' let's ask Russia to test their own Novichok to see if they were responsible for killing someone' because the alternative is to admit that they are hopelessly naive if they think that if only X happened there would be no war.

Jesus wept indeed. The level of debate here is abysmal.

I like him. He was the MP for the area I grew up in for many many years and my mother was involved in local politics so met him occasionally at events and he visited our home a few times .

My mother who was a conservative who loved Margaret Thatcher in the 80s had a lot of time for him and used to say he was an excellent MP.

I suppose you could call him naive some think his attitude is too soft and might lead to 'appeasement ' I don't think he'd have made a good prime minister as he is probably too inflexible and gets people's backs up.

I still quite like him though I absolutely don't agree with his gender views and he is like a lot of males of his age in politics probably quite misogynistic. He worked very hard as an MP and he was deeply involved at a community level and really did seem to care about helping his constituents

Calling him evil is ridiculous in my opinion. i think he is too ernest and not jaded, it makes people angry for some reason. Fuck knows why.

Corbyn has had his chats with his friends in Hamas and Hezbollah so is presumably now in serious talks with Israel?

Presumably the IRA who hated the British government couldn't believe their luck that some idiot actually invited them in just after they bombed the British government!.

Yes. Did he speak to the Loyalists? Because they were his 'other side' or did he just blow smoke up the arses of the IRA, promising them things he couldn't deliver, as the actual team who negotiated the GFA said he did?

What was his standing to "negotiate" on behalf of the (Conservative) government at the time he invited IRA members for tea to the House of Commons just after the IRA Brighton bombing?

Starmer kicked out of his party many Jews who stood up against Israel's tacism against Palestinians, they were the wrong type of Jew apparently. Thousands joined Labour before Starmer now thousands have left.because of Starmer his polices or lack and his support for Isreal's Genocide. Never again means never again for all people.

Let’s get this right. You’re saying that the people with lived experience of anti-semitism (given they’re Jewish), who decided they didn’t fancy a leader who has always shown a sense of empathy if not outright support for various foreign organisations who publicly proclaim their dislike of the Jewish people, are just a bit dim and easily misled by Luciana Berger?

Jesus wept.

Corbyn has spent his life campaigning against all types of racism. He won a peace award.
He is the most anti racist person a decent trustworthy politician you dcan find you don't see many of those these days with a few exceptions.

Corbyn spoke to the IRA the political wing you have to speak to negotiate, its the only way to get peace.
