Labour Party

Francis Carr Begbie | September 13, 2015http://bit.ly/1MmvVF4 With an Afterword by Michael Hoffman“What was not so long ago unthinkable has come to pass.” Thus the Jewish Chronicle‘s verdict on the election of hard-left pro-Palestinian Jeremy Corbyn as leader of Britain’s Labor Party.

Jeremy Corbyn has done it. The agitation of the Left in a deflated, and to a large extent ruined British Labour Party, raised Corbyn from the status of the rank outsider to that of leader with a mighty 59.5 percent of the vote. The Times deemed him a “veteran backroom operative” who became prominent while working for “Red” Ken Livingstone over the course of 12 years, eight of which he did so as chief of staff.

•  Are Corbyn+Galloway the dream ticket to previously-unreachable ‘sunlit uplands’ of British politics?
• Would they present  a much needed double-barrel warning to the warmongers of Tel Aviv and AIPAC’s lackeys in Washington?
• Could they clean out Westminster’s snake-pit and put Britain’s industries and workers  first?

UK Labour Party bosses are on a suicide mission to block support for its most likely saviour, Jeremy Corbyn, who has emerged as the front-runner in the leadership contest.

Towards a more sensible foreign policy…

Some polls are showing Jeremy Corbyn forging ahead in the Labour Party leadership race by as much as 20 points. The political Establishment is shaken and quite definitely stirred.

The UK’s dysfunctional democracy has enabled a mere 37% of voters to give Cameron a clear majority of seats. From this travesty he claims a full ‘mandate’ and no doubt feels all-powerful as he parades his troops.

If Labour were really acting for the “99%” of us, who have had to suffer at the hands of the unbridled greed of a small minority of society for far too long, they would have a manifesto that began to negotiate a path to economic & industrial security – a move away from the reliance on the FSI and towards class justice for the people of the UK.

 British Prime Minister David Cameron has criticized the Labour Party for its policy on Israel, saying the party’s leadership had shown its “true colors” by supporting Palestinian statehood.

 

A Dead Statesman

I could not dig: I dared not rob:
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies are proved untrue
And I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among
Mine angry and defrauded young?

– Rudyard Kipling, “Epitaphs of the War”
