A secret recording with out of context reporting

Jeremy Corbyn admits: Labour ‘ignored’ anti-semitism.

I am getting very fed up with the almost constant criticism concerning antisemitism aimed at Jeremy Corbyn. Again Margaret Hodge is involved, this time leaking a recording she secretly made of a conversation with Corbyn regarding the proposed appointment of Lord Falconer to review the Party's complaints procedure. The tape of this conversation which according to Hodge, she made secretly as an "insurance policy", she leaked to the Sunday Times, and no doubt with her prior knowledge they have spread across their front page and not surprisingly, have been very selective in their reporting.

What Corbyn actually said in connection with the appointment of Falconer, was "He will look at the speed of dealing with cases, the administration of them and the collation of the evidence before it's put before appropriate panels... because I was concerned that it was either being mislaid, ignored or not used, and there had to be some better system".  From this statement It is a significant stretch of journalistic licence to then construct the headline that "Corbyn admits we ignored antisemitism".

However neither the Sunday Times or for that matter Hodge herself, would be concerned with distorting conversations and taking anything out of context to fit in with their actual agenda. As far as Hodge in concerned, supported with those elements of the media who are historically anti Corbyn, the objective is as it has always been, to remove Jeremy Corbyn from the leadership of the Labour. In this aim, they will use whatever comes to hand to undermine Corbyn's position while she and the other usual suspects continue  with their own agenda. A shabby secret recording leaked to a disreputable "newspaper" for out of context reporting. How contemptible can you get?

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

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.

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
