Angela Eagle rapidly losing any credibility she may have once had.

Angela Eagle threatens to break Labour impasse with leadership bid







Another article from the Guardian, (again with no facility for the reader to leave comments), which emphasises their opposition to Jeremy Corbyn with the employment of "negative" reporting and misleading headlines.
The heading for this "story" reads: 
"Angela Eagle threatens to break Labour impasse with leadership bid" 
They then go on to devote 15 lines of the story to Angela Eagle, repeating the same, now well worn cliche's, that she has been spewing out with monotonous regularity for the past 7 days. (Jeremy should consider his position and resign. I will mount a challenge if he does not stand down. I will.etc etc ad nauseum)
Curiously though, the Guardian chooses not to mention that her Wallasey Constituency party continue to support Jeremy Corbyn and have written to her expressing that support.







The remainder of a rather long article, consists of a sideswipe at John McDonnell and a potpourri of random selected snippets all with the common theme of criticising Corbyn.
Now we all know where the Guardian's position on the Labour leadership stands. They supported Yvette Cooper in the ballot of last year and have been opposed to the present leadership since the result of the ballot was declared.
The scurrilous way in which the media, not least of all the Guardian, have covered this attempted coup against the leadership of the party is appalling and sinister. Moreover, the constant hounding of Jeremy Corbyn in the media and on television, shows the very unhealthy state of British journalism, where bullying and the use of intimidation,has replaced proper reporting.

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...
