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...

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 ...
