The continuing Intolerance and hate on the left

 

When Jeremy Corbyn won the election for leader of the Labour Pa\rty he made a promise to bring us a "new, kinder politics". AS we all know that never happened. In fact it was the complete opposite. Any deviation from what the leader and his followers wanted was jumped on. 

Those who thought differently were labelled "Red Tories", "Blue Labour". Heaven forbid if you were Jewish and dared to oppose Corbyn. We were the lowest of the low, Zionists.

Jews Zionists controlled the media, the banks, were responsible for the slave trade and anything else that the comrades could think of. Unless of course you were the right kind of Jew and joined Jeremy's lickspittles in the misnamed Jewish Voice for Labour.

The on-line bullying and raging inside some Constituency Labour Parties made life unbearable for huge numbers of members and even MP's let alone for the majority of the Jewish community who faced an unprecedented rise of racism in the wake of Corbyn's ascendancy that continues to this day via those groups and individuals that remain devoted to the charlatan.

Few memes portray this hate as much as the one reprinted above. With more people voting Conservative than Labour this seems self-destructive to say the least but actually exposes the true nature of so many of the hard left. Intolerant and frankly dangerous. This dehumanisation of their main opponents opens the road to the kind of brutality we saw in Stalin's purges, Mao's Cultural Revolution and Pol Pot's Year Zero.

It's not as if this is isolated. The likes of Laura Pillock wearing "I've Never Kissed A Tory" t-shirt makes them initially look childish until you realise it's part of a deeper problem.

On the same Facebook page I picked this meme up from I recently left what I thought was a fairly innocuous comment on a thread about local elections:

"When it comes to local elections I am less interested in the party than the candidate themselves. I have known some very decent Tory councillors and some very bad Labour ones."

I was immediately set on by one of the comrades who remarked:

"a very odd comment to make, very selective, I suspect you are a cuckoo."

"you (sic) card has been marked, admin will no doubt be in touch."

Even daring to suggest there might be some decent Tories triggered this man.

Politics has always had a tendency to be a bit tribal but there are limits. I am quite happy to have not just friends but girlfriends from across most of the political spectrum. 

Have I ever kissed a Tory? Politics are not always at the forefront of my mind. I'm only human....
