The Jeremy Corbyn thread

[Chicken Run]

Most people who say "Corbyn is unelectable" were never going to vote Labour anyway.

I’m a centerist slightly left of and would happily vote Labour as long as Momentum and their puppet disappear!

In my view, Corbyn's personality and background has alienated a pretty big number of centre ground voters, who Labour should be hoovering up in the current climate.

But he's also gained a lot votes from people who have never voted before.

It's six or two threes.

There are a lot of voters that are politically homeless right now, both major parties have allowed themselves to be hjacked by their own lunatic fringe. Labpur have a lot of good people but they are being kept away from the front bench

In other words you are a TORY

Yep, that's me too

As a Labour supporter, I don't think he's up to the job. Out-of-date ideas, not clever enough.

Out of date ideas? His policies are incredibly popular so not sure how they’re ‘out of date’. Even if you don’t like the man or agree with his views, to ignore the popularity of his policies, especially amongst young voters, is incredibly foolish.

Though i do agree , the Palestinians have been treated diabolically , and its not anti s3mitic to talk about the powerful jewish lobby in the US , always sickens me when i see the likes of netanyahu spouting off about "not negotiating with terrorists"

I've voted for Labour before, and will again. But not while Corbyn is in charge.

Tell that to all the young people that voted for Corbyn. The very demographic the Tories are struggling to reach. Discredit the power of popular policies at your peril.

 

[Bodian]

Fair enough. I didn’t realise. I 100% retract my comment. I didn’t know enough about the story.
He should be totally ashamed of himself if he was honouring those murderers.

His point is that he wasn't, and that the wreath he laid was, as you say, in honour of the Palestinian dead killed by Israeli action. And that other wreaths were laid on other graves in the cemetery of which there are many. Surely these news hounds must be able to dig up some actual footage or news reports of the actual ceremony from then - which would explain it one way or the other.

Does it need further explanation?

The graves of the the 8 terrorists who perpetrated the atrocity weren’t even buried at the cemetery in Tunis that Corbyn visited.

And Margaret Thatcher amongst all the world leaders condemned the Israeli terrorism that caused the murders , but that doesn't get reported

Nope. But the press don’t want the truth. They just want to continue their smear campaign ignorantly unaware that it’s just not working. The press has been so vicious to Corbyn from day one, cried wolf so many times, [sensible] people just don't trust it to treat him fairly. And I don't mean just his core supporters. I don't think the wider public does either.

That's my take on it

Really ?

Really ?

You honestly think that half of what the press print about JC is true? When the most recent smear has been proven to be utter nonsense. The most shocking thing about this isn't that the Daily Mail lied to smear Corbyn, it's that the bulk of the UK mainstream media just lazily churnalised the lie into their own headlines without bothering to do the most rudimentary of fact-checks.

He's not exactly doing his best to defend himself. Seems to be laying himself open to greater scrutiny. Mud sticks I'm afraid
