I just went to the BBC website provided in your link, and it honestly breaks my heart to think that so many people in the west buy this bullshit.

But this is why no-one should ever be harsh on them. since this is all they know.

He's damn right the Labour party is in peril. Wiped out years ago in Scotland, it's just about to go the same way in England. Every timeserving careerist & warmongering neoliberal in that hollow shell of a party is running scared, because they have now rashly exposed themselves for exactly what they are.

More than three-quarters of Labour MPs – 172 – voted to show that they had no confidence in his leadership, while 40 voted for him.

The Party's over, unless Corbyn actually manages to save it from the brink.

Corbyn responded by issuing a warning that he had the support of Labour members, and that he was going nowhere.

“I was democratically elected leader of our party for a new kind of politics by 60% of Labour members and supporters, and I will not betray them by resigning. Today’s vote by MPs has no constitutional legitimacy,” he said.

Who once famously said that if voting changed anything they would ban it ?

Think for yourself about what it means to be human. The rest will take care of itself.

Well, I just channelled the spirits of Daniel O'Connell, Lenin, Bismarck, Sylvia Pankhurst, Rosa Parks, Walter Benjamin, Che Guevara, Albert Einstein and Muhammad Ali and they all said, with remarkable unanimity: "Nope. That won't work."

Fwiw.

Now I'll try to get Jeremy Corbyn on the phone and ask him.

The Guardian view on Jeremy Corbyn: after the experiment

The question is no longer whether his leadership should end, because at Westminster it already has. The challenge for the Labour left is to rescue something from it

Hey Mac, make no mistake im still in the real world

Tryin my best to shove it to the man anyway I can. If only you knew

Im just blowin out hope and understanding when I talk metaphysically

It's possible that even if Corbyn gets removed, another with very similar values but untainted by years of being in the club will emerge - someone fresh and clean.

Four separate posts in the last hour from a poster called 'Der' on a good UK message board, The Lifeboat News:

John McDonnell on BBC: "16,000 new members join Labour Party in the last 3 days".

Michael Crick on Ch4 News: "10 Unions, including all the major ones come out for Corbyn"!

"Resign Jeremy Corbyn" petition shuts down after 4 days with 184 signatures!

Pro-Corbyn petition reaches 240,415. Up 2,500 in the last 2 1/2 hrs!

"Death". "Vampire." "MUST Kill".

why/how were all these shitty worthless MPs elected in the first place? How soon can they be replaced? Because it's seems to me a lot of them would loose badly were elections held soon.

Remember when - it wasn't long ago - the media made great play of Corbyn's "enemies list".

He apparently had a big long list of Labour MPs, MSPs, political and media advisers, hangers-on, functionaries, useless fortune-tellers like John McTernan, etc. and other Labourite flapjacks who his people judged were hostile to him within the party.

According to the media, this list-keeping proved that Corbyn and McDonnell were nutjobs, and Corbyn in particular was a paranoid Stalinist weakling, filled with a burning hatred of all things Third Way and centrist, who hates Britain.

The list was entirely accurate though, wasn't it? The people named turned out to be backstabbing cunts right enough, just as precicted, no?

No?

Aye, the UK too is now comfortably ensconced in full post-reality.


A Guardian journalist, hard at work

This (by Thomas G. Clark, today) is brief and brilliant, the best single thing I have read about the Tony Party's campaign to Kill Corbyn:

It's now absolutely clear that a large majority of Labour MPs have completely lost touch with reality. [...]

The best they can come up with as a replacement for Corbyn is Angela Carrion-Crowe:


Ceci n'est pas Boris Johnson.

Corbyn is a spoilsport. How dare he not submit to the corporate media and establishment leadership!

Whoah - must be serious, they're rolling out the anti-semetism charge!
