The strange world of Corbyn's supporters

 

As the infighting continues it's interesting to look at the reactions of those individuals who support Jeremy Corbyn. Their views range from sheer blind devotees to completely deranged if not sinister.

One Corbyn supporter, Jamie Harwood from Hexham (whose local Constituency Labour Party is a hotbed of extremism of all sorts) strangely muses:

Starmer's suspending of Corbyn, a man of principal and integrity is weak, cowardly and shows how dangerous media manipulation of truth is right now..

Putting aside the hero worship of Corbyn and obvious hatred of Keir Starmer the remarks Corbyn made were in a televised interview for all to see and Corbyn knew exactly what he was doing. Paying the rebel, making himself the martyr and centre of attention in order to distract from the antisemitism that flourished under his watch.

Maureen Carney writes on Labour Outlook's Facebook Page in response to Richard Burgon heir apparent of the Corbynista movement:

I think it is a truly shocking thing to do to a man who has spent his life fighting for good justice and equality. A shameful act and unforgivable. Sinister forces are at play here. I am increasingly finding Starmer revolting !!!

In this case I did ask her the obvious question:

Which sinister forces are you referring to out of interest?

I got no reply though one could make an intelligent guess especially as further down she is followed by Ian Finlay who may give us a clue as to what "sinister" forces are at play in their view:

Richard it is not antisemitism we have to worry about it is the fascism and Keir et al are the worst. Taking money from Israel to ensure a socialist government will never happen. Jeremy Corbyn grew the membership of labour far more than any other leader. At the last election Jeremy still got 3m votes more than Blair’s last election. The right of the Labour Party will never win . He wouldn’t be bought by anyone which is why he has been persecuted. Love you JC keep safe and keep battling . Xxx g and I xx

Those pesky Jews Zionists are at it. again  No antisemitism here. Nothing to see. Move along....

Meanwhile that old accusation about opponents raises it's silly head again as Ricky tells us:

You cannot and will not defeat the Tories until you have cleaned the Labour Party of Tories and those infected with thier idiology. (sic)

I seem to remember these people telling everyone to go join the Tories over the years old Compo was in charge and they wonder why so many Labour voters did, "Red Wall" and all that. The worst defeat Labour has had in decades.

Perhaps Burgon and friends should take Jackie's advice when she requests:

Can you break away and create a new party? I would happily join any Socialist Party.

She is one of many Corbyn supporters who want to break away and more than a few have buggered off already.  If there is one thing that is abundantly clear these so-called "socialists" or whatever they are do not belong in the Labour Party and should be encouraged to leave.

George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain has vacancies I am led to understand!
