You can also hear him on Tune In, go to BBC Radio 4, and then 'Any Questions?'.

He's already talked about re-nationalizing the railroads and seizing/reopening deep coal mines and getting back to the good old days of making electricity from the sweat of miner's brows.

Yup, a genuine progressive!

 

[Mr. H.]

I'd like to ask him why in the fuck do they drive on the left side of the road. Fuck that shit.

That's one thing Mr. Corbyn cannot be blamed.

The "driving on the left" goes back to the days of jousting. Most people then, as now, were right-handed. So to hold the lance for maximum control dictated the horse be ridden on the left side of a barrier. Driving in London or Manchester (I don't do that anymore) is still very much like jousting.

 

[Mindful]

Napoleon decreed the riding/ driving on the right. The despot!

 

[Mindful]

Jeremy Corbyn.

A poor man's Michael Foot.

The nearest thing to Wedgie Benn.

He has already cost the labour party many members and votes and the torys want his as the next labour leader so they can show him up publicly. We have no room for another neo Marxist islamonazi terrorist loving paedophile enabling scum in Britain

 

[Mindful]

He is the philosophy of the inexperienced. It looks good and sounds righteous, but it’s pure bullshit. It doesn’t work. Anyone older than 30 and anyone that has worked for a living knows it just doesn’t work.

Why do you drive on the right when only sinisters find it comfortable ?

We invented the car and set the rules, you did your usual and decided that you would be different to everyone else.

It dates back to the horse and how and where you drew your sword.

Napoleon dictated the right side, and all French supporters, including the fledgling America at the time, followed suit.

Because he was a cuddywifter and did everything left handed

The left prides itself on listening to people. We’re quick to notice men telling women that their experiences aren’t what they say they are. We’re attuned to the Islamophobic conflations that crop up in the media. We’re the first to concede that history often elides the testimonies of witnesses who fall outside the mainstream discourse. We’ve got a vocabulary of victim-blaming, slut-shaming, gaslighting to employ when we see rhetoric and privilege being used to elide people’s experiences.

We pride ourselves on hearing when someone is trying to tell us something.

Except when it comes to Jeremy Corbyn.

When an embattled minority tell us (on the whole) that they feel threatened not only by the people he associates with, but that they fear his leadership might pose an actual threat to their safety, we’re pretty quick to issue a “Calm down, dear,” and move on.

Why? And let’s whisper this: MIght it be… Because they’re Jews?

Not all Jews, of course, (that’s usually our first defensive fallback) but we have to ask how comfortable are avoiding clear concern by pointing at Miriam Margolyes and Michael Rosen and saying “See? See?”

When 67% of Jews are worried about something, it’s no better an argument to point to the 13% who are unconcerned by it than it would be to dismiss the concerns of women fearful of being attacked by pointing out that some women aren’t afraid of it.

And yet we do.

We dismiss the experiences of decent, thoughtful, sensitive people, people we like and respect because they’re Jews. And the left is the champion of the underdog. And Jews no longer fit the underdog narrative.

(It seems redundant to point out here that, of course, Jews never have. That’s how antisemitism works. The basis of antisemitism as far back as we can follow it is always that the Jews are more affluent than others, that they’re disproportionately represented in the media, or in banking, and that you should envy their position. The attack on Jews is always that they’re too powerful…)

At the base of this is a suspicion that antisemitism isn’t a reality in Britain today, or, if it is, it is one so vanishingly small as to make it irrelevant.

So let’s look at some facts:

How Jeremy Corbyn unleashed my inner Zionist, and can do the same for you!

Ode to Corbyn.
...............,........

Roses are Red

Tories are Blues

My ‘friends’ are Nazis

But I love the Jews
