The Telegraph now resorts to the "reds under the bed" smear tactic.

Jeremy Corbyn hints at Russia ties


Michael Wilkinson, Political Correspondent of the Telegraph




The Telegraph (who else?) enters the smear and discrediting campaign with a scurrilous piece of journalistic absurdity, suggesting that the "Reds under the bed" may not have actually arrived yet, but will soon be with us in the event of Jeremy Corbyn winning the Labour leadership and subsequently becoming Prime Minister. (The Telegraph seems to acknowledge that this is a possibility, in marked contrast to their and the rest of the media views of a few days ago . "Corbyn would be unelectable! and all that nonsense.) The acrimonious campaign against Corbyn and those who support him, both within the Labour party and within the public, has been waged on a daily basis for almost 6 weeks and has demonstrated the depths of maliciousness to which the media and sadly some sections of the Parliamentary Labour Party will sink in order to preserve their position of power and influence in our society. They have waged a campaign of personality and smear rather than policies and debate, a campaign of duplicitous hypocrisy, rather than honesty and truth and now the suggestion that there would be some kind of sinister secret relationship with Russia , exposes Michael Wilkinson, Political Correspondent of the Telegraph as seeking a witch hunt, in the same fashion as the McCarthy committees of the 1950's, to add to the nauseous spectacle of the panic and fear in the media and the right.


Jeremy Corbyn addressing public meeting

 





Regardless of whether Jeremy Corbyn is declared as the new leader of the Labour party on September 12th or not, the media, television and the right of the PLP, have inflicted severe damage on the credibility of  the democratic process in this country and the belief that the media is, on balance, an impartial observer of events. After almost 6 weeks of maliciousness, hypocrisy and acrimony waged against Corbyn and his supporters, it will take some time, to restore credibility.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
