  1. 1. Should Corbyn remain as Labour leader?



Recommended Posts

Had a funny encounter yesterday as I was berated by a fella for saying I'd probably vote for Corbyn. He spat out the word "pacifist" like it was "paedo".

 

He then got onto Brexit and asked if my grandfathers died for us to bow to France/Germany; he seemed weirdly less than pleased when he was informed no... they survived.

I've got no problem with people not liking Corbyn or even hurling insults at him, I just think accusing people of racism and antisemitism without justification is disgusting, it's probably only one step away from accusing people of paedophilia. 

 

Racism is such a slur in our society that we can think of lots of people who've never worked again in the public eye when they've become embroiled in it. There's no coming back from it unlike a lot of other transgressions. 

 

Think about how you'd feel. If someone called you a cunt, or thick, or full of shit you'd probably take it on the chin- but if someone accused you, baselessly, of being racist or antisemitic, I guarantee you'd fly off the fucking handle- and you'd be right to do so. 

 

People, especially Jewish people, throwing the word around so carelessly, often to push an agenda, debase themselves and sully the memory of all those who died in the holocaust or have ever been the genuine victim of such abuse. Seriously. Imagine how you'd feel having survived Auschwitz and then seen an absolute twat like Sugar (himself no stranger to displays of racism) casually tweeting images of Corbyn and Hitler just to push an agenda?

 

These people are disgusting, and a disgrace, and they've done FAR more damage to the memory of those who suffered and continue to suffer than Corbyn ever has.

I'm trying to remember when Rachel Riley suddenly turned into Tracey Ann Oberman?  

It wasn't that long ago I used to check out her Twitter page out and it was all tweets about Man Utd or Countdown with occasional pictures of cute puppies, horses or her in a new frock going to the opening of an envelope.

Very strange....

Plenty of reasons to ignore her right there.
