The Guardian still pressing for Corbyn to resign as part of "peace talks"







Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet agrees to Labour peace talks








  








Heather Stewart and Rowena Mason, two of the Guardian "journalists" who, encouraged by the Guardian and its political position, have been agitating for the removal of Jeremy Corbyn from the Labour Party leadership for many months. 



The Guardian who have long been opposed to the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, are now reporting that the "embattled Labour Leader and his team are about to enter into formal negotiations" to bring about a brokered deal involving MP's, unions and the party's National Executive Committee" to ensure a "dignified exit" for the party leader. The Guardian further suggests that that Corbyn loyalists hope that these negotiations will be the first step towards a deal, with one "source" (anonymous as is usual for this paper) saying that the process could result in Corbyn stepping aside before a 2020 General election.






Now clearly, this would be the preferred course and solution for the PLP since it brings about the resignation of Jeremy Corbyn from the role of leader, which of course was always the objective behind their treacherous coup in June. The media too would be ecstatic, that their long running crusade of smear, innuendo and blatant untruth against Corbyn had finally resulted in his overthrow.
No matter what the time scale of his departure might be, whether it be next week or next year, the result is the same. The forces of conspiracy, lies, intimidation, and duplicitous treachery will have gained a victory and overturned the result of a democratic decision taken by the membership of the Labour party. How often in other places, have we seen a similar situation, where a minority have conspired to remove an elected leader, and with the encouragement and support of outside bodies have staged a coup?
Even if this report in the Guardian contained only a grain of truth, it would indicate that sincerity and democracy in this country is dead. It would enhance the view amongst many people that the "establishment" and its subordinate lackey's hold such power and influence that they will always be "in charge" and that all people are merely serfs to carry out the bidding of the masters without question. The dictatorship by the establishment would have arrived.
What then of the Labour party membership who elected Jeremy Corbyn with 60% of the vote only some 9 moths ago? These members, and more who have joined the party over the last few days, are standing side by side with Corbyn during this period of turmoil brought about by a duplicitous PLP who have no regard or respect for the democratic process. Supporters of the leadership have been organising rallies around the country to demonstrate solidarity and support for the leader, writing letters and articles calling for the PLP to launch a leadership challenge in accordance with the Party constitution rules.










It would be a complete betrayal of party members, and those outside the party who now support Labour since the election of last September, should Corbyn be blackmailed or otherwise forced to stand down from the leadership by some grubby little deal cobbled together in a back room as envisaged and proposed by the Guardian.

Jeremy Corbyn has consistently stated that he will not resign and that any challenge to his leadership must be mounted in accordance with the Labour Party Constitution. In this he has the overwhelming support of the party membership.

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

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
