The British Army General who all but threatened a mutiny over a potential Corbyn premiership should, at the very least, have lost his job. The MOD must have known who it was.
Criticising Israel's policies is not Antisemitism. Jeremy Corbyn is a good man. The British people unfortunately missed out by not getting Corbyn as PM.
I’m conservative but I think Corbyn was the last honest politician we had, I don’t like socialism its never worked it’s a failed idea but we knew what he believed and he was honest about what he believed.
"Socialism has never worked" is a lie that you've been fed that relies on you ignoring the complicated reality of how countries are ran. Even if you, sincerely, believe Socialism has never worked, Capitalism _cannot_ work. Socialism is literally just 'democracy', applied to economics. If authoritarianism can run the economy fine, then surely you believe that democracy could do it better?
All the mess in this country can be traced back to the last period of Labour in power from immigration to the justice system. Blair still has his placemen everywhere and he and his wife made a fortune from the changes he made.
I am 71 years old and have supported and worked for the Labour Party since my early twenties I was a Labour councillor for 9 years, this was the first year in my adult I didn’t vote as a party member I voted twice for Corbyn, because of the Ukrainian war I vowed never to vote for a warmongering Party again, my view of the Labour Party is the one that Michael Foot believed in a Party that believed in world peace, like Corbyn I was and am against every war we as a nation supported or took part in
@@nigelsheppard625who said this? If Russia was formidable enough, I'd have reason to agree, but it isn't. It isn't 1938 Germany. Not to mention the tentacles of a much greater gangster are right next door.
I am also a 1952 baby and always voted labor when I used to live in Scotland. I left the U.K. in 1981 soon after Thatcher came to power and my God am I happy I made that move. Britain is a complete shambles today. The working people can barely buy food and heat their damp homes on the one hand, whilst Sunac is sending billions to NATO and the Ukraine. When the judas Starmer gains power in the next election, little will change for the masses.
Mind Begs the Question: If Anti-Semitic is a term used Even against Semitic People If they speak against a Govt,Policies Anti-Semitic is term used for Suppression,no?
Corbyn brought his problems upon himself for doing nothing to stamp out anti-Semitism from the Labour Party and refusing to give a thorough apology. Corbyn deserved everything he got.
Jeremy Corbyn was "swift-boated". Pure and simple. Over a quarter of a century as Member of Parliament, one particular MP supported at least 57 motions submitted for debate in the House of Commons ("Early Day Motions" or EDMs) which either vigorously condemned antisemitism or supported Britain's Jewish communities in some way. More than one third of these 57 EDMs were so "obscure" that fewer than 10% of MPs could be bothered to show up and support the motion. In other words, this one MP was (and remains) at the vanguard in supporting British Jews and in the fight against antisemitism in the UK. And the name of this MP? Jeremy Corbyn.
He even fought against the demolition of a Jewish cemetery in his constituency. Ironically, the leader of the local council that proposed the demolition is Jewish!
Yes….AND ? What has he achieved politically for the Labour Party and for working people in the U.K. ? NOTHING, in fact he has put the Labour Party back nearly 100 years . He has made working people poorer and taken away their freedom of movement by supporting a minority Tory government get Article 50 on the statute book, causing catastrophic economic damage to the U.K. and giving its people Blue passports worth 50% of the previous red ones. He has betrayed working people .
Jeremy Corbyn has many Jewish friends who all understand all to well who is destroying the west and want NO part in Zionist activities of any kind ! As they say.'.There are good and bad in all races ' and in this case unfortunately the bad ones are of the same race but that is were any resemblance stops .The fightback against this cancer is well underway and is being exposed little by little everyday .l guess the old shhhhhhh don't talk about the J... is unraveling!
Total nonsense. Labour lost in 2019 because of their toxic Brexit position. Most voters didn't care about "anti semitic smears" and still don't. These cranks are the only ones still talking about this.
I'm a 60 year old British woman who always voted Labour. This whole episode in UK political history as completely ripped the veil away from my eyes, and many people say the same. I knew the establishment would fight socialism tooth and nail.. but the viciousness, cruelty and treachery WITHIN the Labour Party blew my mind. Yet it says on the Labour Party membership card "a democratic socialist party". They have lost my vote now
It was the treachery of the working class who gave bojo a landslide victory and stabbed Corbyn in the back. I warned many a cretin what would happen if they voted for bojo, I was mocked and laughed at, now I am laughing at them. Now they are all looking to tory starmer. no wonder I despair . If they cannot look after their kids they should dump their screaming bags of shat outside downing street!
Me too, you've summed it up for me, I first voted Labour in 1970 and continued through to 2019, campaigned and worked for free in my CLP for 2 decades, after "they" the establishment destroyed JC, that was the day I woke up to what is really going on in our so-called "democracy", I now work a little every day to bring down the serial liar Keir Starmer and his acolytes.
Me too. I ultimately just filtered the entire British Establishment out of my life. Fortunately the Establishment blob only expresses itself thru legacy media and social media, both of which are easy to ignore. I haven't heard a syllable in years. I vote Green now. Pleased to have helped quadruple Green councillors in my area recently. I am not alone. My contempt for Blairites is greater than for Tories. Probably not alone with that sentiment either
Good point, I'm beginning to realise that the politicians are just a front to get our votes. IT IS THE MONEY MEN AND WOMEN WHO RUN WESTERN COUNTRIES. Liz Truss short spell made that clear to me (she was hopeless anyway) that said I was just sorry for her fall guy who incidentally didn't go down alone. Love you Jeremy.
Everything is a constant struggle. There's never a time we can sit back and survey the rights and freedoms we've won, because they are always under attack.
I was a member of the Labour Party, and always voted Labour, but i will not be voting for a Starmer led Labour, nor will i vote for them again whilst those that sabotaged our chance for real change in 2019 remain in the Party ..
Interestingly Kate, I'm a life long conservative voter but not any more, I'm in a political wilderness where if I do vote it will be for the party I dislike the least ! It would seem that a lot of folk are not represented by the parties on offer.
Believing Jewish people can't have a tiny state of their own is antisemitism. Jews have been persecuted for years. They were kicked out of every Arab state .If you think there can be 2 states, there can't, the Palestinians want all of Israel. There would be no gay rights in the middle east. Do you even know what Hamas does to their people if they suspect they are gay? They are beheaded.
Thanks for this Chris-it is still happening-Starmer is still at it with his purge of everything left.Always good to hear it coming from another angle and from yourself and Asa-Kidos to you both!!❤
This happened to our PM Gough Whitlam in Australia but he was pulled down out of office by US, UK and local quislings and then had his government and policies ridiculed despite having introduced public health, got troops out of Vietnam, introduced free tertiary education and gone to China to establish contact - before Nixon. Historically his tenure has been smeared and is still smeared. The anti semite slur was not being used at that time but the Murdoch media coupled with US/ UK meddling plus the local quislings including the leader of the trade union movement ( who later became a Labor PM!) managed to pound in a message that Labor were irresponsible managers of the economy. His advances have been dismantled by successive governments both conservative and Labor until today we have US/UK poodle quislings totally ensconced in foreign narrative unable to dare to see clearly where Australia should be heading and who our REAL friends are. Australians are being prepped with constant anti Chinese smears and phoney accusations in our media with zero pushback or discussion. Meanwhile our ‘treaties’ with UK/US are not even debated in parliament! Let alone the crazy military expenditure on stupid weapons which are presented to us as fait accompli. God help us.
Corbyn is the greatest Labour Leader since Attlee , the entire establishment & right wing in his own party were terrified, but the young , Real Left , poor and working people really love him to this day (I'm one of them)
Corbyn buckled to power. He was not the leader that the working class - all of it from left to right, as there is but one such class - needed at the given moment.
Attlee enacted policies all major parties agreed on at the time. It was the establishment position, the alternative was questions about what the war was for plus demobbed soldiers.
@@paulembleton1733 Would not have been so congenial a relationship between Churchill and Attlee et al, if there wasn’t a Nazis regime bearing down over you and Europe threatening the crap out of you.

Hilarious how the Left has been manipulated into a one-issue party without them even grasping that they were manipulated 😂 You're playing checkers, Starmer is playing chess.
One of the overlooked reasons Corbyn came to prominence in the UK was the MP's expenses scandal. There was wide public outcry over the frivolous use of public money for the unecessary and lavish purchases that MP's were gifting upon themselves. Corbyn by contrast had one of the very lowest lists of expenses, a clear indication of his honesty & integrity.
A clear indication he lives almost in walking distance from the House of Commons and never has to claim the same travel expenses as his colleagues who represented Carlisle or the North East.....
@@stevebrooks6275 - Well possibly his expenses might've been lower because of lower travelling distances. It also might be because he wasn't buying gold plated bird-houses, or subsidising his mother in laws mortgage or getting his 2nd home refurbished like most of the other crooked MP's that were milking the gravy train.
@@harveydean7952 Do you think that by pointing out Jetremy's expenses were less because of his proximity to the House of Commons that I was somehow defending other MPs abuse of their expenses... ??
@@patcampton7163 Because it's paranoid conspiracy gibberish. Labour lost in 2019 because of their Brexit policy. Those "anti semitic smears" you obsess over had almost no effect on voters, less than 1 percent cited them as the reason why they didn't vote Labour. Even now you're the only people still preoccupied on this issue, most people don't give a shit about Corbyn one way or the other. It's a sign of how politically impoverished the Left is that they're still replaying this over and over because they don't have any prospects to look forward to.
Tens of thousands are dead and the country is hundreds of billions worse off for the fact that their campaign against Corbyn deprived him of leadership, in turn ensuring the pandemic under Tory leadership would be a capitalist bonanza resulting in at least 100,000 additional deaths because Tories were in power and the right like centrists will always put capitalism before science and society until such time that the bodies piled too high to ignore by which time any action taken was at vastly higher privatised cost and long after the covid horse had bolted. And people would have been far better off as we would have taken back control over our energy, water, rail,. mail, and made the NHS fully public once more, under control of not management consultants and ministers, but under the control of the medical staff that work there and communities that use them. All gone. But the two thirds of my elders who voted against him got their brexit that changed fuck all for most people so that's all that matters eh.
Thanks for a very interesting discussion. However, the reason the Labour Party I and my family campaigned for lost the December 2019 General Election was Brexit, not anti-Semitism. Corbyn and as a result Labour's (at best) confused position on that toxic topic which Boris Johnson, an otherwise woeful prick of a man, cynically exploited.
I used to love The Guardian but during the Corbyn years they really revealed their true agenda.. ie, they want to be the hand-wringing liberals who speak against the cruelty of capitalism, but, when a chance to make real change arrived, they were desperate to kill that opportunity
The exact same thing is happening here in Belgium (Flanders) as well. In the early noughties the SP (socialistische partij) changed it's name in SPa (socialistische partij anders) the socialist party different (similar to Tony Blair 's third way'), the SPa distanced itself from it's traditional voters and didn't want to be associated anymore with the working classes or what they called 'miserabilism'. Now they even abolished the party's name! I won't vote for them anymore, I'll be voting for the very leftist PVDA (party of the workers).
It all goes to show what passes for democracy is all fine with the establishment and the armed forces as long as their guys win regardless of which party gets in , we all live in mockracys of the demos not democracy's .
Very fine interview. I got to know of Jeremy Corbyn during the 2000s and found him to be very sound, seeming sharp, very good. But, there were forces against him in the UK govt, plus what I gained from this TRNN episode and which are the corporate world and media. I wish him well, as much as he can get. He certainly was inspirational.
It was a very British establishment coup Chris..love Noem Chomsky's label of Starmer as "Thatcher light" lol very apposite... Hope Dr West is doing Well... I am a great admirer of the man. Thx for the work you do.. I spread the love you and Dr West embody... Fond Regards... A supporter from the UK...
The treatment of Corybn clarified how any leftist achieving electoral/primary success in the US will be treated. I won't say how change will come about, but basically the ruling oligarchs have shown us that they will behave in the manner described in the chapter "The Philomaths" in the Iron Heel, by Jack London.
Jezza didn't campaign for a united Ireland, he campaigned for a political settlement. Don't forget Gerry Adams was one of several legitimately elected Sinn Fein MPs. They didn't take up their seats because they were required to swear allegiance to the very thing they objected to. Adams had a democratic right to be in parliament, Jeremy just enabled him to exercise that right in a small way.
Thanks for covering this. Watching this in reality made me realize just how crazy the world has become. Insane what has happened to language in the past 30 years. Black is White, Down is up. Afraid to speak to anyone anymore for fear of offence. Part of the plan most likely.
It's not a case of black is now white. The right wing, specifically the religious zealot base of conservatives, has turned everything black and white. Rich and poor. A class system they feel should be moulded on unregulated capitalism and that which favours the consumerist wants instead of environmental needs. If you think things are backwards then you must be listening to people who say insane things like "faith" is to know something and "belief" is not knowing something. This brainwashing is typical far-right-wing evangelical propaganda tactics.
Thanks Guys for speaking the Truth, this has and will always be necessary for humanity in the future to hopefully, finally see that regardless of current rejection truth may ultimately; bare fruit as those to come finally realise the total failure of the “established” ways of the warmongers, money grabbers and racists. Your work is essential. Thank you. Mike from Bristol England
I have a number of friends and acquaintances that are capable of reading books and have a knowledge of history. However they believed the nonsense about Corbyn.
@@cdean2789 Now i know why Bill Binney and you other rightwingers dislike George Soros. Who is George Soros and why is he disliked by conservatives? I saw this press conference by Ron DeSantis concerning Trump's arrest where he mentioned a guy named George Soros. He specifically said "The Soros district attorneys". I've heard the name before. Who is he talking about exactly? Ah George Soros, the anti conservative Boogeyman that every right leaning individual hates but if you ask what he did, they'll only tell you scary stories about funding pedophile rings and biological experiments. Everyone on the right seems to hate George Soros but no one can really tell you why. The answer is simple, he beat Rupert Murdoch, the godfather of conservative media, in the 90s and Murdoch has been salty ever since. Soros is a billionaire currency investor that supports many liberal causes. Not really progressive ones, more so neo liberal/left-center ones. So what did he do? In the 90s, the UK was having a bad time with their currency and the ruling conservatives in the UK decided to pump money into the British Pound Sterling to keep it up in the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. Murdoch spent a lot of time, energy, and above all, money defending this decision to the British public, basically staking his reputation on it. But it was the wrong decision and George Soros saw that, he short sold the Sterling, meaning he was betting on its value going down. This terrible decision by the conservatives led to 3 billion pounds being lost by the government in 1992. But where there's a loser, there's a winner and that winner was George Soros who made over £1 billion in a day (over $1.5 billion). This also destroyed what little reputation the conservatives had left. See Murdoch had been losing on the PR front for years by this point. He stood by Thatcher and she was ousted. He printed that the conservatives were the party of morals and dozens of its members were exposed in sex scandals. He said they were the party of jobs and unemployment went from hundreds of thousands to millions under them. All that they had left was being the party of fiscal responsibility and in one swift move, Soros proved that was untrue too. The conservatives lost the next three general elections. They lost all their seats in the Scottish parliament. And Murdoch was exposed as a liar and worse, an idiot. He's never forgiven Soros for that and has since commanded his media empire to bad mouth Soros every chance they get. And that's why 30 years later, every conservative from the USA to the UK to Australia will tell you Soros is the devil but can't ever tell exactly what he did. Because what he really did was be smarter than the man who runs conservative media Aztecah
Rich guy with lots of money who funds a lot of liberal-leaning projects. He is like the counterpoint to Rupert Murdoch Probably better described as the progressive counterpoint of the conservative Koch Brothers. Yeah but like WHO IS HE? How did he become wealthy? He’s essentially the right wings boogeyman. He’s got money and spends it on left wing candidates. They essentially put him in the center of dozens of conspiracy theories as being this spooky puppet master plotting the downfall of broke, blue collar America. NealR2000 regardless of what you think of George Soros, it's important to remember that demonizing individuals like this is not productive for our democracy. AsterJ Foreign mega donors are more dangerous for democracy than the demonization of foreign mega donors. What is the alleged conspiracy behind George Soros controlling everything?
In Europe being smeared as anti-semite is the end of any career. Even if you never said anything negative about jewish people but just mentioned that the Israeli politics concerning the Palestinians might be wrong. In Germany you might even find yourself in court if you do so.
@@paulforan4550 It has nothing to do with the "power of the Jews". The state of Israel invests huge amounts of resources into making us believe that it is a Jewish State. This helps them accusing their critics of being anti-semitic. However, the majority of Jews in the world live outside of Israel and do not identify strongly (or at all) with this political project. Hence, Chris Hedges, Corbyn and others always refer to the State of Israel (and not the Jewish people) as one of the stakeholders in determining national politics in Europe and the USA (and increasingly in non-western countries). Conflating Jewishness ot the State of Israel is exactly reinforcing their message and helping the State of Israel silence their critics.
I paid my £3 joined my local CLP (along with the "Momentum" activist faction by default) and went out with local canvassing teams in my area in North West London. However before we engage in a hagiography here, I will refer you to page 127 where Asa writes "Every time the Jewish Labour Movement and Labour Friends of Israel (both pro-Zionist factions) cropped up with their latest smear, activists (including myself) were ready to respond. But Corbyn's office failed to capitalise on this energy, and there seemed to be no political will from Labour's left wing leadership to take on the lobby." Furthermore on page 163 Asa writes "Supposed "comparisons" of Israel or Zionism were deemed to be unacceptable - no matter how historically factual or carefully worded. These were matters for expulsion, suspension or disciplinary action. Ken Livingstone and Moshe Machover were the only two high profile cases. The effect was to keep the "anti-Semitism crisis" in headlines for years. The fact that Corbyn did not protect Livingstone, one of his vanishingly few senior party allies, sent a message to the grassroots that none were safe should they step out of line." And so we saw the likes of Jackie Walker, Graham Bash, Marc Wadsworth and Chris Williamson picked off, one by one, for marginalisation and eventually expulsion. The fact that Corbyn failed to protect any of these staunch anti-Zionists showed his Achilles heel, which was that of capitulation and appeasement to the right wing Parliamentary Labour Party, the executive of which finally threw Corbyn himself, under the bus. So yes, the Israel Lobby persisted in their determination to destroy the Corbyn project, however, I think it would be more accurate to say that it was Corbyn himself who committed political suicide through his continual appeasement and capitulation. Having said that, had Corbyn become Prime Minister we would be living in a completely different political, social and economic landscape - and we would not find ourselves being governed by a right-wing duopoly and being drawn into a direct conflict with Russia through the UK government's collusion in a bespoke proxy war manufactured and provoked by the USA which has now had to resort to the desperate measures of sending cluster munitions to its client, in violation of international law. Meanwhile we continue to be propagandised by a Deep State controlled media, into believing that it was Putin who provoked all this. And so, black is white, North is South, up is down and if you even try to push back against all this dissemblance you have the legions of NAFO trolls bombarding you with tropes and accusing you of being either a Russian or a Chinese asset - or both for that matter. As Chomsky suggested (before he lost his mind) it is all ill informed public that facilitates and enables the greatest duplicity and venality on the part of the plutocracy. And now there are many groping around blindly in the fog of a mass acquiescence psychosis, wholly dependent upon the analyses and pontifications of the high priests of on-line networks. Don't let others do your 'thinking' for you, it is symptom of intellectual laziness. Read and study as widely as possible and gain hard and fast evidence for your assertions, and then don't be afraid to stand up and speak the truth, even if everyone around you tries to shout you down and cut you off.. Otherwise, your democracy just degenerates into the tyranny of mob rule.
All politicians, wether right wing, left or centre are a diversion away from building independent grass roots alternatives and carrying out direct action. Even if we are to gain reforms how we do so is vital and we should not be dependent on politicians and look up to them as our 'saviours'. We need to build real working class self-organisation, power and unity.
I was always a labour voter until Tony Blair invaded Iraq, and when Jeremy Corbyn arrived i was ready for voting labour again, however the behaviour of the Labour Party under him, no chance were they getting my vote.
@@richc9631 Labour currently are Tories 2.0, they have said basically nothing about how they will make changes and improve the country, useless corporate stooges under Starmer will continue the legacy of Boris. I will vote SNP, but if I was in England I would hopefully vote Green.
They have formed a "Fith Column" in every nation inhabit undermining the host nation`s culture , especially it's social, political and economic structure.
To get an insight into this find the the Channel 4 film from the 80's 'A Very British Coup'. Think that was based on the 'fear' that Michael Foot might become PM in 83.

I can't help but agree with Mr Galloway and others that if Mr Corbyn had have shown a bit more testicular fortitude from the beginning none of this would have happened to him. In fact, he may well still be prime minister.
@@annenunney9907 I don't either - but I tend to agree with him on this issue. Norman Finkelstein was of the same opinion. Perhaps it was fear for his life that dissuaded Corbyn from digging in - I can understand that.
I don't think that is true. Had Corbyn stood up and vociferously defended himself against the charge of antisemitism he would have unleashed an even greater barrage of hatred whipped up by every media outlet. There were machines at every juncture targeting him wherever he went or whatever he said. Their fire power was just too great.
I have voted Labour, Green or Liberal Democrat - mostly Labour - all of my life. I have never and will NEVER vote tory. I am 65 years old, work for the NHS and/or Social Services. I was over the Moon when Corbyn became leader of the Labour Party - it felt exciting and cool - remember when he was at Glastonbury? When Starmer said that it was ok for war crimes against Gaza - I was truly appalled. I am excited that Galloway won Rochdale with a huge majority and the candidate that came second was an unheard off independent! With Owen Jones establishing the We Deserve Better movement and with George Gallaway's Party (79 candidates) and the Greens etc, there is the potential for a coalition of various parties who actually represent the people. I have transferred my monthly financial contributions from The Labour Party to George Gallaway's party.
So the military and MI5 decides who will be Prime minister. Wow BIG SURPRISE. BORIS certainly was a fantastic Prime Minister . PUPPETS REQUIRED FOR PRIME MINISTER.

It is high time that after digesting the big lessons of the Corbyn affair we move on to reconstructing a new labour party thst is socialist. Some are already involved in early stage work. It's clear he doesnt have the wish or energy to do this. It cant wait. This video is a really good short introduction to the Corbyn era. One question - there are connections including the Momentum groups - between the Corbyn and Sanders campaigns. Any thoughts about that?
At the start of the video, you're speaking of Corbyn in the past tense, "was" and "were", as if he were dead, or at the least retired from politics!! DON'T make that mistake. 😏 Careless use of language will at the least, give US subscribers the wrong idea! Whereas Mr Corbyn is VERY much alive and kicking! He is still an MP, although to all intents and purposes an Independent now. Watch him stand as an Independent at the next GE. And for his vast praetorian guard of supporters to POUR into London then, to give him every aid! 🙂👍
"Hundreds of thousands of people joining the Labour Party!" And they were almost entirely London-centric metrosexual types who were more interested in fighting the culture war of Brexit than they were in socialism. They were the ones who bullied LOTO into accepting a toxic Brexit position that split the Labour vote and gave the Tories a huge majority. Of COURSE these people now want to rewrite history and claim that "antisemitism smears" led to the 2019 disaster, despite plenty of polling showing that less than 1 percent of voters cited it as a reason for not voting Labour.
The left wing membership were much more likely to support Corbyn’s more eurosceptic view. It was the right wing of the party - Starmer particularly - who pressured LOTO into accepting the toxic referendum on the final deal position. It was the neoliberals who wanted to remain, not the socialists. The antisemitism smears were more problematic than the Brexit issue when we were out campaigning in my constituency.
@@AtheistEve Your experience is atypical then. Many Labour canvassers didn't hear zip about anti-semitism outside of London. It's tragic that the 2017 surge of support for Corbyn was always conditional and transient. When he initially refused to be the Remainer Warrior they wanted, they turned on him. Eventually this led to Starmer getting to run wild with a policy that led to electoral disaster. As for why Corbyn failed to make the case for a "Lexit" (particularly since his advisors like Fisher and Milne were convinced that EU law would a barrier to many of their socialist ideas) we can either blame Corbyn's lack of leadership abilities or simply the lack of any political space to redefine Brexit as anything but a crazed right wing concept.....or blame both.
@@zippymufo9765 I was canvassing outside London and the South East. Brexit was always an issue for everyone, of course. But that wasn’t what poisoned the discourse over Corbyn. Both remainers and leavers became misled by the antisemitism slurs.
