Class war

For those of you who read the appalling far left conspiracy website, The Canary, here its editor says what she thinks about the people who didn’t vote the way she wanted you to vote last week. She accompanies her comments with a video of Jeremy Corbyn yet again losing his temper. In the second tweet, she says she would have physically attacked the journalist who had the brass neck to ask Labour’s useless leader a question:

In an unusual gambit to win back wavering and former Labour voters, Ms Mendoza calls them “twats”, just the sort of thing, I am sure you will agree, to bring back the missing millions to the people’s party.

To be fair, to a crank clickbait site like the Canary, any publicity is good publicity. More than that, Labour’s inevitable defeat last week won’t trouble her lifestyle one jot. She is not alone in that. Many of Corbyn’s middle class outriders, pseudo journalists one and all, care more about their own careers than the destruction Boris Johnson will inflict on the working classes, about whose lives these comrades know little.

A week, they say, is a long time in politics but not for this version of Labour. Corbyn has plainly been told by his handlers to hang about in office until the new leader has been elected. The same applies to the senior comrades who earn six-figure salaries. None of them have had the honour or decency to stand aside and accept their responsibility for their disastrous campaign. They are sticking around because the important bit for them is maintaining their iron grip on the Labour Party. The best way to that is from the inside.

What I am trying to say is that to the comrades and the cranks, all that matters is keeping control of the machinery of Labour and maintaining the so called political purity of Corbyn with its leader. Mendoza shows her contempt for non-Labour voters by calling them twats, even though so many of them these days are the working class Labour used to represent. The comrades are not just middle class chatterers, that’s their target audience. It’s class war, all right, but not as we know it.
