Bashing Jeremy Corbyn

British Prime Minister David Cameron called Corbyn a threat to national security. More on what he said below. For the first time in decades, British politics got interesting. Whether Corbyn’s astonishing rise from long-time backbencher to near-overnight Labour party leadership makes a difference remains to be seen.
One man with perhaps a handful of party supporters trying to change an entrenched system run by powerful monied interests is a daunting task and then some.
Blairites, Thatcherites and media scoundrels oppose him. Labour party supporters are tagged with the pejorative ‘Corbynista’. ‘Corbynism’ is called isolationist and anti-British.
A hostile London Observer editorial denigrated him, claiming undefined “evidence to suggest voters will resoundingly reject Corbynism in its current form if he makes it to the next election.”
Corbyn’s leadership represents “the greatest challenge the Labour party has ever faced,” claimed Observer editors. They’re right saying he’s yet to prove he can change anything –given entrenched monied interests running things unchallenged in all western societies and most others at the expense of everyone else.
If Corbyn can shake things up a little, perhaps there’s eventual hope for driving a stake through the heart of Thatcherism and Blairism – for sure no time soon.
British Prime Minister David Cameron is an unindicted war criminal – complicit with Obama’s imperial agenda, threatening world peace.
Corbyn wants humanity saved from the scourge of endless wars. Who’s the real threat to British and global security? For sure not a peace and stability advocate, provided his actions as Labour party leader don’t stray from his high-minded rhetoric.
The whole civilized world hopes he’s the real thing. War-mongering criminals running western countries and Israel deplore him. So far, no congratulatory phone call from Obama.
During his London visit last week, Netanyahu snubbed

him – deploring his forthright support for Palestinian rights, including vocal opposition last summer to Israeli naked aggression on Gaza.
Cameron’s Twitter comment was duplicitous, saying “(t)he Labour party is now a threat to our national security, our economic security and your family’s security.”
Judge for yourself. Corbyn chairs Britain’s Stop the War Coalition. He’s for nuclear disarmament and against US-led Nato’s killing machine.
He wants force-fed austerity ended, harming ordinary Brits to enrich wealthy ones more than ever, as well as reversing welfare cuts to help people most in need.
He urges quantitative easing for ordinary people. Money injected responsibly into economies create growth and jobs. When consumers have money, they spend it. A virtuous circle of prosperity is possible.
Corbyn supports investing in vital infrastructure projects, public transportation and renewable energy – to end reliance on fossil fuels.
Corbyn opposes fracking and other environmentally destructive practices. Whether he means what he says has yet to be tested.
Despite over three decades in parliament, he was always a powerless backbencher, never holding a ministerial position, let alone Labour leadership like now.
Britain’s Defense Secretary Michael Fallon repeated Cameron’s offensive remark calling Corbyn “a serious risk to our nation’s security, our economy’s security and your family’s security.”
He ignored Britain’s participation in endless US wars as well as enormous harm to millions of ordinary people under Tory and previous post-Thatcher Labour governments, absurdly saying Conservatives will continue delivering “stability, security and opportunity.”
The Brits lacked it since the 1970s. No matter how sincere, Corbyn alone can’t change things. A sustained groundswell of mass support is the only chance, a slim one at best.
Years, maybe decades, are needed to undo the enormous damage done. If Corbyn’s sincere about working for real change, hopefully a strong grassroots majority of Brits will support him – the only chance for anything positive ahead.
