Jeremy Corbyn on Piers Morgan

[firstpasttheposter]

Just watched the trainwreck Jeremy Corbyn interview. I sometimes find it a bit annoying myself the way Piers talks over people when I want to hear what the guest has to say. However, surely Corbyn knows Piers' interview style? This is an experienced politician, and the question was very predictable. Had he not prepared an answer? Other guests manage the quick-fire style, still manage to get their point across and remain professional and confident - they don't just slump behind the table and sulk! Did he really think PM was going to say 'Oh, you're right! this interview style that's earned me millions is actually just bad journalism. I'll listen respectfully while you have your say and then you can ask me some questions'?

He needed to do those things to try and clean up his image.

But before 2015 he had no image to "clean up". He was simply a troublesome backbencher who spoke his mind and did and said what they thought to be the right thing. He never saw himself as leader.

No, I’d like for scientists to invent a time machine that will allow us to travel back to the year 2015 and the Labour Leadership election so we can stick a load of ballots in for Yvette Cooper, or hell, even Liz Kendall.

Here’s my own distant Corbyn anecdote. I used to work with Dido Harding’s younger brother. Really nice guy and quite liberal (but his personal politics are his own affair, not for me to judge him anyway). He had a friend that worked for Corbyn in his office. Said he was both lazy and thick. Just what you want from an elected representative. For example, if he appeared on Andrew Marr’s Sunday morning show (I think it was that one at the time, don’t bother correcting me) he would try and claim the time back during the week. What a devoted public servant and a true statesman 🙄

Bloke with him looks very like my friend's husband. It isn't of course.

The famous deniel that was then proven with facts and diagrams about exactly what happened in wreath gate

There you are wrong my father was a union leader in the 90s and Jez had a reputation that wasn't great even back then

Both for Jew hate and for hanging out with the IRA etc.

This for a start happened before 2015 didn't it

Difficult to show you proof about the Jew linked stuff but most people know I am pretty blunt and honest on here. What I am telling you is true. You can believe me ot not.

Posting newspaper articles full of Jez-hate hardly proves your point. It's been established that once he became leader, the media were out to get him. There were a lot of impressionable people who believed what was being said about him.

Personally I see the whole media campaign like the twin towers. Whilst you must feel revulsion and repugnance at the outcome, you cannot help but be in awe of both the degree of planning and execution of the task.

Glasgow Media group, LSE and Loughborough Universites were just some of the institutions that looked at how he was portrayed in the media and they concluded that he was subject to an unparalleled, vitriolic and denigrating campaign of villification. Unfortunately some people just fell for it.

There were a lot of impressionable people who believed what was being said about him.

Was that because of the photos of him doing the things that were being said?

Glasgow Media group, LSE and Loughborough Universites

Jeezo. You might want to dig a bit deeper into the people connected to these media groups.

What a ridiculous argument

If you are squeaky clean there is no dirty the media can on you

Jez has a shed load of dirt dating back years.

That isn't the medias fault and it isn't the Jewish community's fault. If you can't do the time don't do the crime. That is the true in the case of Jez. No use his fans blaming everyone else but him. He did it to himself.

Let us see the facts again without the media this time

Apparently the photos don't cut it for some

Corbyn’s time as a presenter on the regime mouthpiece Press TV channel – for his work from 2009-2012, he was paid around $27,000.

Corbyn tends to insist that he used the opportunity of appearing on Tehran TV to challenge the human rights record of Iran, a regime that routinely murders political opponents, created and supports Hezbollah and a plethora of other violent Islamist terror groups, and has restricted religious freedoms to the point that Bahais, Zoroastrians, Jews, Christians and other faith adherents have fled the monstrous regime leaving few traces of their long history and heritage.

Corbyn went on Press TV to promote his anti western views. He said nothing against Iranian regime's xenophobia & human rights abuses.

His warm welcome to his "friends" in Hamas and Hezbollah.

His laying a wreath on the graves of two members of Black September, the perpetrators of the Munich massacre against Israeli Olympic participants.

Which he denied at the time but with the help of photos and diagrams he was forced to apologise for

Presumably Corbyn thinks that extracting confessions from Iranian dissidents by torture and broadcasting the confessions on Press TV isn't "brutal" or "unnecessary". He carried on working for Press TV after they lost their UK broadcasting license for doing that after all.

He described Raed Salah as an honoured citizen he'd like to invite to tea in Parliament, moments after the room heard that Raed Salah says Jews steal babies to drain their blood and consume in secret Jewish ceremonies?

No proof of antisemitism there???

He said the Islamic State’s beheading of Alan Henning, a British aid worker, was “the price of jingoism.”

How charming is Jez. I mean who wouldn't what him as PM 😏

He met the leaders of Sinn Fein and other Republicans in the 1980s and 1990s, when the Provisional IRA was still bombing and shooting people.

He invited Linda Quigley and Gerry MacLochlainn, both convicted of activity connected to the Irish Republican Army, to Parliament just two weeks after the IRA had killed five people and almost assassinated the British prime minister in the 1984 Brighton bombing.

He attended a 2012 conference in Qatar featuring Palestinian militants recently released by Israel in exchange for a captured soldier. Two of those speakers were Abdul Aziz Umar, convicted in Israel for his role in a 2003 suicide bombing in Jerusalem that killed seven people, and Husam Badran, a former head of Hamas’s military operations who had planned suicide bombings that killed more than 100 people. Corbyn found their contributions “fascinating and electrifying.”
