Jeremy Corbyn at Glastonbury ugh

[LivingOnAnIsland]

What a creep!

Corbyn was partly responsible because he refused to provide strong leadership on the issue. There are various sources that speak of the frustration of the leave (and Labour Leave) campaign with Corbyn on this. He was more or less invisible.
Ironically, one of the problems was that he refused to stand on platforms with Blair or Cameron (even though he would stand on platforms with Hamas)

The Cons are sinking as a result of their far right fuck up of an election campaign, policies and party leader (and Prime Minister!)

This fuck up is of their own making and it's fucking brilliant!

We must make sure the Tories, the people who bank rolled Brexit and the gutter press are held accountable for leaving the EU.

Sigh.

I simply said that given who the author was, it was unlikely to be a completely balanced view. I didn't say I wouldn't read it. You took that bone and gnawed it to death yourself.

However, any book that seriously tries to put the blame for the whole brexit debacle on one person, someone who wasn't even in power, is likely to have a very unbalanced agenda. And anyone with the barest minimum of critical thinking skills would be able to work that out.

But you're boring me now, tbh. Goodnight. Enjoy your bedtime reading.

So, the politics are irrelevant, but 'he looks like a creep'. And people like this can vote...

when Corbyn was putting together his first shadow cabinet, in his leadership bid. He assured them of his support for the EU. They since strongly expressed their dissapointemnt that, come the referendum, he was unreachable.

Actually, it's Corbyn who we should be thanking, that we won't be having a hard brexit after all.

Ooh, Daily Fail, smellbellina that's so funny and original! Rhymes with Mail, right? And I'm the parrot?

I don't read the Mail.

Unfortunately I've been around for a few decades now and have seen where this ends up, so my cynicism is coming through. What a surprise though, that someone who has played one note for the past 50 years is touted as the progressive voice for the young. I wish them joy of Jeremy.

did I say he put the whole blame on Corbyn? No. Because he doesn't. All I said was that Corbyn was part of the problem.But, as you refuse to read it on principle, that's irrevelent

JC is not a creep. He's a visionary.

What have Hamas got to do with Brexit? British governments had been meeting with the IRA for 30 years. It's how peace was finally achieved.

Corbyn was not part of Labour leave he campaigned to remain. The moans about Corbyn come from the blairite Plp, they have been silenced.

lucydogz, a majority of Labour voters voted Remain - so what you're saying is ridiculous. It was the Bus Wot Won It. The Boris Bus.

It was actually funny to see them all backtracking away from the bus on June 24th last year... well, funny in a gallows humour type way. "Oh no, we didn't mean the NHS would actually get £350M a week, how could anyone possibly think that..."

I thought the majority of people in labour seats voted leave?

Fully agree - Corbyn is absolutely revolting. Someone upthread nailed it when they said he was like Svengali. I don't get it. It's like the emperor's new clothes. His lies and hypocrisy are beyond belief, his well-documented past actions are absolutely disgraceful, but apparently it's a smear to mention them. I always thought we were moral and truthful on the left but obviously I was wrong.

As for Corbyn's EU campaign - one of the times I saw him he didn't even mention the EU despite very heavy prompting from the MP with him. And yes, the childish fucker was too special to share a platform with Cameron but standing with with anti-Semitic Palestinian hijackers and terrorists like Leila Khaled seems to be fine. Corbyn talks to both sides, my arse. Never has, never will.

Socialism and left wing politics have been vilified by the right and the gutter press for 30 years. People are now seeing through the neo liberal bull shit hence corbyns ability to move from the back to front bench

thay have been silenced interesting...and all you have to do is google to see what they said. and no, Corbyn wasn't in Labour Leave, but he might have well have been

Lucydogz - a majority of labour voters voted Remain - 63% I think.

Allthepretty FYI, Palestinians are Semitic.

Corbyn won the Gandhi peace award in 2013.

I'm absolutely loving watching the sheer terror of the right just now. I love Corbyn.

I'm sure you're right shoes, as I guess we're talking about different groups. If Corbyn had shown a strong lead on this, the traditional labour seats, which did vote out, would have probably gone the other way. IMO

I'm wrong - 65% of Labour voters voted Remain. So to blame Corbyn for the Leave vote is just completely wrong.

this isn't the terrified right pigeon, at least I'm not, just someone who's questioning the new Messiah. Or isn't questioning allowed now?

but shoes what about what I said - that traditional labour seats generally voted out?

Wasnt Corbyn unelectable at that point, as the right wing press told us? Corbyn has since been aided by May's appalling election campaign and people realising Brexit is a disaster.
