They should at least be honest.



Labour MPs and peers demand Jeremy Corbyn remove the whip from Chris Williamson

Tom Watson leads a gang of the usual suspects from the PLP including Stella Creasy, Ruth Smeeth, Margaret Hodge, Stephen Kinnock, Wes Streeting, Peter Mandelson and others, together with names from other outside bodies, in yet another criticism by "Rent a Group" to attack the Labour party and its leadership. The thrust of the aggression this time is the continuing "row" over the readmission of Chris Williamson back into the Labour party following his suspension, for suggesting that Labour had been "too apologetic" over antisemitism. It is too much to hope that Watson and his Rent a Group followers could at least be honest in their motivations for persisting with the almost daily bullying and intimidation of party members and the leadership.The fact of the matter is that their constant barrage of criticism has little to do with antisemitism and everything to do with seeking a regime change within the Labour party and replacing Jeremy Corbyn as leader. In this respect, they will use any tactic which comes to hand. This week it is antisemitism, but next week it could be any other topic which suits their agenda.
The media of course is fully supportive of the Rent a Group objectives and will give blanket coverage to stories which undermine or smear Labour. The BBC news, the Metro, Guardian and Jewish Chronicle carry the story with lurid headlines about 100 Labour MP's (wrong number again but who is counting) and Peers "Demand that Corbyn remove from the Whip Chris Williamson.

We should not even listen to this rabble or be influenced by their bullying intimidation. They are not honest with the country in their arguments, and perhaps they are not even honest with themselves.

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 ...
