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...

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...

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 ...
