Jeremy Corbyn: Why you should support the strikes 

Spot on Redshift. All the so called "issue's" internally In the Labour Party amazingly disappeared and we haven't about since. The mainstream media circus in this country are a disgrace.

Good question 🤔

It is and that’s the European publics hands, same as the utilities.

@@gooderspitman8052 and China too

@@TwitchingBomb yes China too, the country that keeps the consumer dream alive.

Because those who financially back the Tory party wished it to be so they could garner tax payer's money into shares and then award themselves high bonuses for operating a business that will always be underwritten. A policy that has led to the highest fares in Europe and one of the poorest reliable service. And if you think that was a rip-off just look at the privatisation of the bus industry where managers became millionaires just months after taking over while staff had wages cut and driving hours lengthened during the late 80's and early 90's.

This is absolutley true. by the leadership trying to distance themselves away from these workers, just makes me think starmer is banking on the centre right vote

Hear hear!

The labour is suppose to be the opposition so let’s have something different

History will tell you that the only way to he credible.... is to move to the right.... The country is telling you every 4 years that they don't want these morons who cannot even tend to their gardens never mind the country... 🙄 take the hint

It's the only way they'll get into power is to be a centrist government. They will never get in as a left socialist party. And numbers speak for that,over the last fourth plus years the only labour government was centrist and as a socialist party they've never come close.

Well said chumley

I have to say I completely disagree.. the problem of backing down from the fight is what was wrong labour under corbyn... sitting in a love circle holding hands isn't going to cut it when you're having mud thrown at you by the Conservatives and every news outlet... what corbyn needed to be was like the union reps now.. no nonsense no bullshit.. not the mild mannered wet flannel approach...

@@Ma55ey I may not have been as clear as I could've been. I don't believe a fair weather approach is the answer, I was more referring to the obsession with the 'strong man' argument a lot of conservatives have. There's nothing that says a gentle person should or would take oppression lying down. We are past the point where acquiescing to blatantly fatal politics in the interest of being 'fair' is going to do anything. I'm certainly not advocating for backing down from the fight, if anything we must redouble our efforts to engage with the fight. I suppose I was imagining a utopianist stance where we could live in a world of gentleness. I will say though that no matter how hard we have to fight, no matter how dirty we must remain the side of empathy and compassion. By no means must that extend to those wearing the boot though. Gentleness and kindness are not weak traits, they're essential to our survival now, but so is the will to to fight injustice. I don't personally feel those positions are incompatible. All that being said we will always need a militant branch in our activist spaces, they're just as essential. I hope I just made sense, I wanted to reply while your response got my brain ticking but I've got like five minutes to do so at work.

The daily right wing rags are so effective at character assassination that he never stood a chance but for those who were prepared to listen neutrally his tone was always persuasively gentle, reasonable and compassionate.

@@ChumleyNuffington no worries man I didn't mean to sound so aggressive if that's how it came across.... I agree with you that kindness is an all too unfamiliar virtue in the world. But in a political landscape inhabited but people like Boris, Rees mogg, gove and farage Corbyn with his take the high ground approach, was not the man to take them on.. he would have been a great wing man.. but the left needs somone that can take these chancers head on, and publicly confront them and expose them for the liars they are... I've been so impressed recently with the trade union bosses who have been vilified in the news as usual, but who have remained respectful, articulate, blunt and on point about supporting the rights of their members throughout.. but more disgustingly left out to dry by the labour party....

@@Leeds71 you have been reading the daily mail mate all lies

Corbyn was the compromise candidate. Instead, like bitter, arrogant geriatric rotters the hard brexshit traitors voted for their own defenestration.

Just exactly that.

If Labour had anysense they would beg him to come back, him and skinner where the only reasons they still had my vote after Tony's war warmongering and creation of NHS Trusts allowing services to be outsource then Gordon's gold scam. Starmer = Tory Lite in my eyes so sad, as south park would put it we have the choice between a shit taco or a turd sandwich

💯

It's a pity as the manifesto he proposed - Free Broadband, Green Industrial Revolution, Rebuilding Public Services, Tackling Poverty and Inequality ensuring the NHS was funded and that no school child goes hungry - would have been perfect to help soften the blow of Brexit, the Pandemic, Energy crisis and the cost of living crisis. It would have all played out very differently and I think many lives would have been saved as well as the economic benefits.

@Don Doodat You need to stop worrying about what the right wing media and the Tories say and adopt some principles. Labour to blame for the strikes? When they haven't even been in power for 12 years? Anyone who falls for that is gullible and not very bright. We have to stand by our beliefs.

Whereas Corbyn with all those massive election successes was a great leader.... 🙄🤣

@@johnduddy2359 hahaha yes. “ We always lose but we have great policies!”

@@1jimmy534 Great policies for losing elections.....

@Simon Simoney It's fear of the 'other' that unites them, that fear implanted in their Brain like a seed has grown into a 'big lie tree' that has continued to trick them into voting against their own best interests for decades; under the delusion that they are helping themselves and their 'collective'. I believe their true reasons for Brexit wasn't that they wanted to see the World Burn but.. "We were doing it for our Children! To give them a future!", I think they truly believe that 'Big Lie' that they are the 'Good guys' in all of this, rather than the 'useful idiots' that everyone across the World sees them as. Tories have done a great job of scaring them with a false crisis and offering them a solution that benefits themselves but not those they are scaring through the media. Can't see the Boomers having a change of Heart, they're going to continue on the path, whether out of spite or out of the fact they're too old to change their spots? It'll have to be the next generation that deals with the big lie that has eaten away at the taxpayers purse since the Neo-Liberal experiment started.

Absolutely not true! They care deeply about wealthy donors, it's right there in their voting records.

But that is their mantra, from Thatcher, their hero, who claimed there is no society fabric, and J R mogg whose dad promoted individual sovereignty. And last week Johnson claiming we were Darwinian ( dog eat dog) as he resigned.

People who whinge about democratic election results don't care about anyone but themselves.....

@@johnduddy2359 oh really. We just got rid of a man, because he lied and broke the law. Now his gang, the "knuckle draggers" get to vote on his replacement. The same group that lied.

Corbyn is a racist, anti Semitic and supporter of Russia. Only fools follow such a traitor to our nation - there’s many photos of him with HAMAS and IRA terrorists - not one of him him with the British Army. A traitor - of the highest order. “Russia should be our main partner” said Jeremy Corbyn - some mugs followed!

It wasn't anything 'new and different'; it was the rehashed socialist policy failures of the 60s and 70s.

@@Thompson011 and yet it is ok for the opposition to sit in talks with the ira?

Starmer's been after him since he was leader, he had no intention of giving Corbyn a place in his cabinet. He's a Red Tory that from day 1 is trying to purge the party of every last lefty that still has membership. He's a Cancer that needs to be cut out of the Labour Party, along with all his staffers and MP allies.

What a great world that would be! Although the big banks, corporations and right wing media would never let it happen

That would be the seventh circle of hell! Dismal millionaire communists and Marxists who think they know what working people want!

Apart from John Smith.

Corbyn always has, although I don't blame you for not being a Labour supporter these days.

Corbyn isn't in Labour any more, and Labour don't represent the interests of the people any more. But they did, briefly, when Corbyn was leader... 😔

Shame he can't iron his ficking shirt

Only amongst a minority which is why he was never gonna be elected . The biggest problem that Labour have had for years is it they are happy to be ideologically sound and live on the opposition benches

A hero?????? Yes a hero for the Tory party! He gift wrapped a landslide victory to them!

So great that he's a relic of the past.

Have you heard the rumour that he might stand for London Mayor as an independent? He'd win for sure and while the post doesn't provide much in the way of power, it would mean that the conversion would start again and one thing is for sure - Sir Keir Starmer and his tory reds wouldn't welcome it at all. So I for one very much hope it happens.

Saw Been speaking in commons when public gallery was still open, excellent, not that I always agreed with him..but always defend rights of speech

@Shep Raynham Thank you - met Tony Benn a few times at meetings and had the chance to chat during the Thatcher years. His ability to answer clearly and openly was something I truly admired having had experience with MPs helping to run campaigns and how evasive many are

So true. We are fed so much crap by the right wing media all of the time. But when faced with a genuine possibility of a socialist government, that same media go into total overdrive and their attempts to distort reality and strike fear of change into the public at large and unfortunately, it works. They scare enough voters off. Even then, I firmly believe that had the right wing of the Labour Party (who are basically tories with slightly gentler tones), not turned on their democratically elected leader, we would have had that socialist government. And what brought Corbyn down in 2019 was Brexit (and ironically, Corbyn, if left to his own devices would have supported leaving the EU, and those so called Red Wall seats would still be held by Labour), and the anti semitic row. Now, anyone who genuinely believes that Corbyn is racist, are very deluded people indeed. The truth is, the amount of anti semitites in the Labour Party was 0.something percent and while those people needed to be dealt with, the reason it wasn't was because those who were tasked with dealing with it, were deliberately not doing the job because they wanted to screw up Corbyn- it's all there in a report that was finalised and submitted to the Labour Party shortly after Sir Keir Starmer took over. And Starmer made sure that report was buried. But you can Google and check this out. Corbyn was sabotaged by his own party. I think the only way forward for socialism in this county is if the Unions do a deal with The Green Party whereby the funding and the support in general goes to The Greens, but only on the understanding that they openly support Extinction Rebellion and change their name to The Green Labour Party. Then we can try again.

@@brianmoulton3093 Those of us who oppose the Israelis' in Palestine were and are the first to oppose the far-right ideology of antisemitism. Unfortunately it is too complicated a position to unravel. Significantly in regard of the media who, with the powerful lobbyist financed by the Israeli Govt and ultra religious groups such as the settlers, eager and succeeding to encroach into the occupied territory, it is exceedingly difficult for anyone in a high profile position to criticize the machinations of the Knesset without being branded an anti-Semite. In fact and in deed it is their policy to do so. Careers have been lost trying it. Corbyn's position has always been to challenge their policy, and by doing so has suffered the ensuing onslaught of abuse and miss-representation as have many others.

@@avs4365 Yes, that's pretty much bang on I think.

Why are you not keen on him? Where you less keen on him than ANY of the current Tory or even Labour leadership..? Boris and Starmer with their proven lies and hypocrisy? He talks here with measured decency as he always has. Beware holding beliefs that come from establishment mouthpieces.

Why exactly are you not keen? i never understand when people say that.

@@JackTheStrippa I think it's mostly because a) they think he was "too weak on Brexit" or b) they probably bought every scaremongering story of him sold by the establishment. It's a shame really.

@@JackTheStrippa in the slimy world of front bench politics and the media he was a square peg in a round hole. To be honest though that probably says more about the media and front bench politics than it does about Corbyn.

Yeah, why were you not keen on him? Because the media told you to think that way? Tell us one policy in the 2017 and 2019 manifestos that you didn't agree with and why...please!

It was an awkward stance to take, granted but it was the right one, and it's the reason Starmer won't touch it.

@@badenhowell3312 Nah that is one thing I feel like he was pushed into as I always thought he wanted out the EU as well, its just a price fixing group after all. Remain should of never been an option, a few years down the line after leaving yup fine have another vote to see if we are happy or want to go back, but the first referedum should be respected otherwise our democracy is even more worthless.

@@TheSkunkyMonk completely disagree, a referendum is not worth the paper it's written on if they're not going to deliver on what was promised, all Corbyn was trying to was making sure we got the best deal out of it, like I posted earlier: Awkward but right.

The UK has voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48%. And that was with lies.

@@badenhowell3312 Well the masses didn't think so, just pissing on democracy to ignore the ref... but yeah if it doesn't suit what you want...

Don’t forget The Labour Party abandoned the miners and when in government the Labour Party reversed none of the anti-union Tory laws.

@Don Doodat Bloody hell Don! You belive that? Really? Yeah, a tory government mark 2 in waiting. What's the point of that?

If you has listened to what JC had said you would know the answer to your question. Starmer has to look at the bigger picture. I was in the FBU and on strike during the Blair government. We weren't supported then as a Labour government would not support strikes now. They would however try to change society for the better and hopefully the the need for people to strike would be eradicated. By supporting the RMT or any other union they would be ensuring the Tories win the next election. I hate tories so give me Labour left ,right or centre any day. Socialism will fail unless we unite.

Better than Tory-full though obviously.

Nobody wanted Corbyn, either. And the Country told him to eff off TWICE.

@@user-bo3mp8un6c Same Parties now.. Labour's was infiltrated decades ago. Even Tony Blair admitted on camera that "he was continuing Thatcher's Legacy." Tories know they couldn't beat Labour on policies, that Thatcher would eventually become toxic. So they needed to get some of their kind into the Party to pose as lefties but not enact any of our policies.. Blair did a great job fooling the left and the right, but like all magic tricks? Eventually you figure out how the trick is done. Blair's brief popularity has made Labour untrustworthy in the Eye's of the public; the left hate them for what they've done to them, the right-wing who are mixed think Labour are too weak. By trying to please everyone, New Liebour pleased no one.
