Skulking behind a cloak of hypocrisy.


Labour MPs say Panorama 'heartbreaking' as party brand it 'not fair or balanced'

On 28th June I wrote a piece under the heading of "They should at least be honest". I have always held the view that hypocrisy is an abhorrent feature of society, which should be condemned. However last night's Panorama had hypocrisy in spades. Almost from the start, film of John Mann hysterically berating Ken Livingstone about comments Livingstone had made in connection with Hitler and Zionism filled our screens. Although the hysterical Mann managed to ensure that he was always in shot, as he looked round to check that the camera was at the correct angle for him.
What followed was a procession of "whistle blowers" lined up to give their stories, sometimes in lurid detail of how they were abused with antisemitic intimidation and how they were unable to continue with their roles in Labour party Head Office. A common thread emerged during the course of these "interviews," which indicated that the bullying, abuse and antisemitism came about a short time after Jeremy Corbyn was elected as leader. A fact which stretches the reals of coincidence beyond all credibility. "Whistle blower" after "whistle blower" droned on with monotonous repetitivity essentially the same list of allegations which have been reproduced in the press and media over many months. The Panorama programme was biased, tendentious and certainly part of the ongoing campaign to remove Corbyn and the Labour leadership before the next general election.
Today Tom Watson (who else?) waded in with his verdict on the programme saying that "there was “almost a permissive culture” towards antisemitism in the party,and there was evidence of participation” from the leader’s office in disciplinary cases".

The orchestrated campaign to oust Corbyn,grows in intensity as the usual suspects persist with their "antisemitic" smears bringing in the Jewish Labour movement and even dragging Ian McNicol out of the wood work to add his two penny worth. Interestingly, on Sky news this morning, yet another Rabbi was dragged in to the studio to the studio to add her contribution to the anti Corbyn furor. Strangely the media can never find a Corbyn supporting Rabbi (and there are many of them) or any Corbyn supporting members of the JLM and there are many of those too, to voice an opinion.
As I said on the 28th June, the anti Semitism hysteria screams on, but the usual suspects, and the hangers on, could at least be honest in their objectives, rather than skulking behind a cloak of hypocrisy.

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?

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.
