Jones was given the cold shoulder and shunned by JC's inner circle when he lost faith in Dear Leader after the 2017 local election results and wrote an article on the subject.

Then the wind changed and he's since been grovelling and lick-spittling big time to try to get back in favour. Even embracing the new Communism to ingratiate himself with Corbyn's UNITE-run office.

It's a lost cause. They'll never forget his betrayal. But he keeps plugging on because it's a bit of a disaster for a political journalist to have doors slammed in your face while others get scoops.

He changed his only story 3 times over it!

I think the coverage has been a little unfair. It's misrepresented the facts as much as Corbyn's been evasive.
This is typical of our media though. They really do hatchet jobs on people.

That's not a pro-Corbyn stance I'm taking, it's a cynic view of our media.

In response to the fact that the graves of the Munich attackers were not in the wreath laying cemetery you wrote;

The group they belonged to (Black September) had members buried the cemetery, some of whom were alleged to have been part of the planning / organisation / sanctioning of the attack

To me this is a bit like saying you know somebody who went to a wreath laying ceremony with somebody who knew the queen. It’s a ridiculous, tenuous association that been dredged up by some one trawling through old newspaper clips/ footage of Corbyn and blown up into yet another anti semitism row. There is no substance to it other than Corbyn has pro Palestinian sympathies. So do many people.

Some might be tenuous, but the amount of links do start to paint a picture. And to be honest no one can have a problem with trawling through old footage looking for dirt. It's a regular tactic used by all sides

Yes, if you find enough tenuous links it will start to build a picture. I rather think that’s the point. It’s how smear campaigns work
