Jeremy Corbyn spoke on Anti-Racism Day; his message on asylum-seekers is clear

Leave a reply

A former Labour Party leader who was wrongly painted as a racist by gossips, factionalists and fake journalists spoke at a rally against racism – with a message that was highly pertinent to today.

As Suella Braverman flew to Rwanda to pretend her policy – of deporting people coming to the UK to flee persecution – is somehow humane, Jeremy Corbyn explained the facts:

He had joined demonstrators from Stand Up To Racism in a march to Whitehall:

The next tweet makes clear how the public still feels about the lies we were told when he was Labour leader:

And he spoke eloquently on the new Illegal Migration Bill:

Remember: the only reason the Tories can’t cope with the number of people coming to the UK is that they have chosen not to; Boris Johnson declined to continue a ‘Returns’ agreement with the European Union that would have made it possible for the UK to send back more Channel migrants than are currently traveling here.

So whose view do you support? Corbyn’s or Braverman’s?

Are racists really welcome in Keir Starmer’s Labour Party?

Is this the only flag that Keir Starmer likes? If so, and he’s a “Britain for the British” guy, then that’s a pretty big indicator that he might be a racist, right there.

The trouble with Keir Starmer is that it is easy to see the people railing against the use of Palestinian flags to register support for the people there as potential, if not actual, members of his Labour Party.

In one tweet below, after a person states that getting Jeremy Corbyn as his local MP is more important to him than getting the Conservatives out of office, a respondent draws attention to the flag of Palestine next to his name and states, “The Palestinian flag says it all.”

Well, no. It doesn’t say anything about the Corbyn supporter apart from that he wants an end to the persecution of the people of that country.

In fact it says more about the respondent, who clearly supports the persecution of the people of Palestine and is therefore a racist.

In the other tweet, a Jewish man comments on his wife giving him a kippah (skull cap) in the colours of the Palestinian flag, and the same respondent as before asks, “Why not ask her to get you a swastika one as well?” That’s likening Palestinians with Nazis, which may again be construed as racist, for what I hope are obvious reasons.

The same respondent was then shown to have tweeted a message about what a pleasure it was to meet Labour leader Keir Starmer, at a Jewish Labour Movement Chanukah party, thanking him for providing a reason to rejoin Labour and saying what a pleasure it is to be “back home”.

Starmer has been expelling Jews faster than any other Labour leader. But this individual is safe, it seems.

Is it because he is an anti-Palestinian racist?

And if you think I’m exaggerating, take a look at the tweet below, showing evidence of Israel’s persecution of Palestine.

And who’s it from?

“The wrong kind of Jew”.

This is what makes it hard to support the Labour Party under Keir Starmer and his cronies.

They look like racists, act like racists and attract racists.

What does that make them?

Why are the Tories giving huge anti-protest powers to the organisation that employed David Carrick?

Here’s a very good point:

David Carrick admitted 49 sex crimes including 24 rapes yesterday; he used his status as a Metropolitan Police officer to force his victims into silence.

Wayne Couzens is, of course, the Metropolitan Police officer who raped and murdered Sarah Everard, then burned the body in an attempt to evade detection.

The question is: how can we trust police services that employ such people not to abuse the new powers?

And the answer is: We can’t.

The frame game: how Grant Shapps LIED about the need for new anti-strike law

Business secretary Grant Shapps explained the need for a new law demanding “minimum service levels” during strikes – with a pack of lies.

The trick was in the way he framed the situation.

He claimed that the aim was to protect lives and livelihoods – that the right for nurses and ambulance workers (for example) to strike should not come at the expense of the lives of people across the UK.

And he said the wave of strikes sweeping the UK had been caused by the invasion of Ukraine by Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and by the Covid-19 crisis that created huge backlogs in NHS healthcare procedures.

See for yourself:

In fact, as Labour’s Angela Rayner pointed out, the strikes were caused by the government’s own policy of running the NHS (to use the same example) into the ground, starving it of resources and forcing employees to seek alternative jobs, simply to make ends meet.

She said people had been dying while waiting for ambulances long before ambulance workers took the decision to go on strike – because of delays caused by Tory defunding and de-resourcing.

In fact, ambulance workers had continued to work, coming off the picket lines in order to respond to emergency calls. Shapps’s legislation was jeopardising that.

Excess deaths were at their highest level since the Covid crisis, she said – because of staffing shortages caused by the Tory government.

Livelihoods and lives were already being lost, she said. Everybody wanted minimum service standards – but it was the government’s job to provide it (implying that the government had deliberately chosen not to).

Again, see for yourself:

Rayner was correct; Shapps had been telling untruths.

This Site has been reporting on failures in ambulance responses for years – since long before the Covid crisis or the invasion of Ukraine. Likewise with the shortage of nursing staff due to low pay.

Take a look at some of the articles from previous years – firstly on nursing:

‘The man who cut the NHS, not the deficit’

‘Compassion bypass’ as Coalition puts the squeeze on benefits and wages

Greatest Coalition Failures: National Health Service

Squirm, Cameron – we want answers about the NHS!

May surfaces to deny existence of NHS crisis. Total winter deaths are up by 50,000

Tory voters: Here is your government’s National Health Service – in graphs

Hunt trolls NHS staff by praising rota showing dangerous staff shortages

NHS vacancies are a national emergency BECAUSE THE TORIES MADE IT ONE

London hospital drops chemotherapy due to Tory-caused nursing shortage

Then on ambulance cover:

‘The man who cut the NHS, not the deficit’

A&E fears fall on deaf ears

Government accused of trying to ‘cover up’ scale of looming NHS winter crisis

NHS England records worst ever performance figures under Tory mismanagement

#NHSCrisis: Keep reminding May the misery is her fault

Tory-engineered NHS crisis is causing unnecessary deaths – and Theresa May boasts 

NHS privatisation: paying profiteers means there’s no money for healthcare and patients are harmed

Point made?

The Tories have been demolishing public sector pay since they came into government in 2010. They know a low wage bill is appetising to private firms when public services are privatised. And that’s the end goal of Tory policy – certainly on the NHS.

Wimborne-Idrissi expulsion shows Starmer’s contempt for democracy

Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi with Mick Lynch, general secretary of the RMT Union, who is currently doing sterling work countering the anti-strike rhetoric being pushed by the UK’s right-wing national media: you can see why the current Labour leadership would want to remove her.

Keir Starmer’s right-wing ‘Labour’ Party has expelled the only elected Jewish member of its National Executive Committee in an act that shows contempt for internal party democracy and has been described as anti-Semitic.

In an act of psychological warfare that is typical of the Labour Party under its current administration, Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi was only informed of her expulsion after it had been leaked to a client journalist who tweeted it out to the public… on her birthday.

One really has to wonder at the sick, psychotic mindset of people who deliberately time these blows against a person’s reputation and self-esteem to take place at moments when they would normally be celebrating.

Ms Wimborne-Idrissi’s party membership was suspended shortly after she was elected to the party’s ruling National Executive Committee – in another move with suspicious timing, that happened right before Labour held its 2022 party conference.

It came amid a series of smears by right-wing organisations within the party like the Jewish Labour Movement, which claimed she denied the “scale and severity” of anti-Semitism within the party.

Well, this expulsion clearly shows active discrimination by colleagues of these right wingers against Jewish members, proving anti-Semitism is alive, thriving and actively encouraged in Keir Starmer’s Labour.

But I doubt that those who have been howling about it have any interest in punishing the real culprits.

The charge on which Ms Wimborne-Idrissi was expelled was one of association with now-proscribed groups that weren’t proscribed at the time – and, according to Skwawkbox, “the party spread false claims that she had associated with one after expulsion, when in fact she had merely attended a separate one-off event with a similar name”.

She has announced that she intends to appeal the expulsion in the following Twitter thread, explaining also its circumstances:

This Writer is reminded of my own brush with Labour’s disciplinary procedures, in which false claims about me were leaked to Gabriel Pogrund of The Sunday Times. That newspaper – and others including the Jewish Chronicle – were later forced to retract and correct their statements after I made a formal complaint to the regulator IPSO.

I was still expelled from the Labour Party, but a lawsuit I took out against the party later revealed that the breach of its rules for which I was removed was nothing to do with anti-Semitism (as had been widely touted) but was in fact for accurately reporting on subjects that the right wing of the party wanted to keep quiet.

“It disenfranchises thousands of members who voted to put me on the NEC.”

There you have it in a nutshell.

Labour’s decision to expel Jewish members is unreasonable, anti-Semitic, and anti-democratic.

Does Therese Coffey really know nothing – apart from how to take donor cash?

Therese Coffey: not the best person to ask for a crackdown on smoking?

Therese Coffey proved her worthlessness as deputy prime minister in an interview with Kay Burley of Sky News.

Asked if the government was abandoning its target for building affordable homes, she said she didn’t know anything about it.

Burley then reminded her that, as deputy PM, she should:

Meanwhile, the Guardian has claimed that Coffey, as Health Secretary, is ending plans for a campaign to crack down on smoking.

Could this be because she herself smokes and has accepted hospitality from the tobacco industry?

Tory Brexit has harmed the economy more than anything else. Are the Tories the real ‘anti-growth coalition’?

This is an excellent point from the Maximilien Robespierre YouTube channel.

Particularly enjoyable to This Writer is the fact that Krishnan Guru-Murthy put the point – that Tories are the real “anti-growth” coalition – to a Conservative MP who was a Remainer.

Freedom of speech row after police start arresting anti-monarchy protesters

Arrested for expressing an opinion: how can the UK still be said to be a nation that supports free speech if the police do this?

Heavy-handed policing has triggered a debate on freedom of expression after police forces around the UK started arresting people who were expressing their free-speech right to call for the end of the monarchy after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

I wrote about this previously, but more developments have taken place. Watch this:

Now watch this:

I think Phil is mistaken; the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act is what allows the rozzers to cart peaceful protesters away – or at least, that is what I understand they are using.

The Act allows them to remove protesters who cause a disturbance or who are “annoying” others.

But is it really annoying people when someone holds up a sign saying they don’t want a monarchy here any more?

The person who shouted, “Who elected you?” at an event calls the legislation into question because it was possible for proceedings to carry on regardless and no hate speech was involved.

The police reaction does not reflect the general feeling of society – and the surprising aspect of this is that it is a feeling that is held by both left- and right-wingers.

Phil reckons the police may be acting under ancient laws that haven’t fallen off the statute books – but these would be trumped by more recent legislation; the Public Order Act doesn’t cover what’s been done here as there has been no threatening behaviour.

And there are very clear and obvious questions to be answered:

How do people express views like opposition to the monarchy – and get a debate on it – if any such expression is prohibited by our law guardians? And how can the UK government still claim that this is a nation that honours free speech if this is happening?

Police are arresting people for free-speech protests against the monarchy – due to Tory law

People across the UK are being arrested for exercising what should be their free-speech right to protest against the continuing existence of the monarchy.

Police are able to do this because Priti Patel’s Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act allows them to arrest people who are deemed to be causing a disturbance, or simply to be annoying.

This is the Tory boot stamping on your face, of course. Royalists may approve of republicans being silenced, but will they be as happy when they’re on the receiving end of this repression?

Liz Truss: extreme neoliberal, anti-Labour, anti-environmentalist – and populist

New Tory prime minister Liz Truss is nothing more than a piece of theatre, according to Guardian columnist George Monbiot in this Democracy Now! interview.

He says her every utterance is carefully rehearsed in order to say only what she thinks is popular – and the same goes for her policies; she adopts whatever policy she thinks will find favour with the audience she’s with.

The audience she has been with over the summer has been the Conservative Party membership – a grossly unrepresentative and tiny group of UK people.

In pandering to these people, she has supported extreme neoliberal policies – tax cuts for the rich, more austerity, more privatisation if possible, and all when the exact opposite is needed.

Watch:

Her second week in power is about to begin.

Feel free to check Mr Monbiot’s predictions against what Truss does.
