If you’re not prepared to support a Corbyn govt, say it now….

by Rick Johansen

And now a tweet from the alleged comedian, Jeremy Hardy:

‘By the way, if you’re not prepared to support a Corbyn govt, say it now, because he’s the PM in waiting. Plenty of Greens, Plaid, and SNP and ordinary people who want a real change would welcome a shift away from unfettered capitalism. Even Tory and Lib voters are sick of greed.’

Okay, Jezza, I’ll say it loud and clear. I’m certainly not going to support a Corbyn government because he is in no way a PM in waiting. On the contrary, he’s a Jew-hating, IRA supporting friend of Hezbollah and Hamas who has never held a position of responsibility since he was chair of the Haringey housing committee back in the 1970s. He has never had an original idea in his life, preferring to reheat the failed Bennite nonsense of the 1980s which succeeded brilliantly in sustaining Margaret Thatcher’s hugely damaging era as Prime Minister.

It is fair to claim Corbyn is the PM in waiting, but it is not remotely sensible to suggest that he is in any way qualified to do the job. Of course, he isn’t. His has been a life of protest, of disloyalty, not to mention his pacifism. How on earth can the country have as its leader a man who would not defend his own country, or order armed intervention for an ally under attack? And Corbyn, is like Nigel Farage, the hardest of hard Brexiters. He’s hopeless in debate and if only effective as a communicator when addressing his cult following who already agree with every word he says. A half-decent Labour leader would surely have seen off the wretched Theresa May many months ago. Corbyn is incapable of doing more than reading out what Seems Milne writes down for him.

Yes, I too want real change, the change that comes when Labour wins, something it has only done three times since I was first able to vote in 1979. On each occasion, Labour’s leader was Tony Blair and if you can get his opponents to stop prattling on about Iraq for five seconds you will know his governments really did make Britain a better and more equal place.

And people will only vote for and elect a Labour Party if it seeks to embrace those who are not natural Labour voters, plus those of us who come from the traditional Labour left background.

Sorry, but any old Labour government will not do. Not one led by Corbyn and controlled by a hotch potch of elderly Tankies and Trots whose ideals are nothing to do what Labour stands for

Apart from his old, failed politics, the cult of Corbyn ignores his clear unfitness to lead Labour, never mind run the country. Yes, many of us are sick to death of greed but we are also concerned that a Corbyn government, with a woeful lack of talent on its front bench will wreck the country every bit as badly as the Tories.

I’m waiting to vote Labour again, but not with this idiot in charge and the comrades who now exercise the levers of power.
