Jeremy Corbyn
Britain's election and Labour's thin ray of hope
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 11/12/2019 - 4:56pmThe polls for next month's general election do not currently look good.
Labour is far behind.
However, there are reasons to hold out some hope.
Reason #1: Look at the last election.

Submitted by gjohnsit on Sat, 08/17/2019 - 12:16amAccording to polls, the centrist Liberal Democrats party (Lib Dems) are a critical obstacle to Labour taking over the UK government.
Corbyn vs. Netanyahu: Which one is the anti-semite?
Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 08/01/2019 - 5:39pmAccording to BBC, there are four significant instances where Jeremy Corbyn is guilty of "anti-semitism".
Most of these items happened years ago.

U.S. promises to meddle in British election
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 06/10/2019 - 12:33pmWe are told that American elections are "sacred". Everyone else can go suck it. US secretary of state Mike Pompeo made that clear the other day.
Good news for Jeremy Corbyn might be good news for Assange
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 04/14/2019 - 5:24pmI wrote the other day how Brexit was imploding the Tories. It turns out that the Tory collapse is picking up speed, all to the benefit of UK Labour.
Assange, the Vindictive Empire, and a slim ray of hope
Submitted by gjohnsit on Fri, 04/05/2019 - 11:39pmSix weeks ago Ecuador President Lenin Moreno somehow managed to wrangle $10 Billion in international loans. How was he able to influence the U.S.-controlled IMF and World Bank to do that?
Brexit Endgame
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sat, 03/30/2019 - 7:05pmIt seems to have taken forever, but the inescapable Brexit endgame is about to arrive.
Neoliberal Clintonites working hard to undermine the Democratic front-runner
Submitted by gjohnsit on Tue, 03/05/2019 - 3:28pmIt's been said before that establishment Democrats would rather lose to a Republican than win with a leftist, but now we have proof. That proof comes in the form of smears by center-right, Clinton loyalists who are working overtime to undermine the obvious Democratic front-runner, Bernie Sanders.
Corbyn endorses 2nd Brexit vote
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 02/25/2019 - 2:48pmI can totally understand both why Jeremy Corbyn was reluctant to agree to this, and why he eventually agreed. I have mixed feelings about it.
This is what I want in a politician
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 09/23/2018 - 6:33pmForget 'Draft Bernie'. I want 'Draft Jeremy'.
Jeremy Corbyn tonight warned the rich that they are on 'borrowed time' because a Labour Government is coming.
Corbyn has played the Brexit debate brilliantly
Submitted by gjohnsit on Fri, 09/21/2018 - 2:51pmWhen Brexit narrowly passed, the neoliberal Blairites in the UK Labour Party were horrified. They demanded Jeremy Corbyn, whom they despise, immediately oppose the referendum that so many UK Labour members voted for. When he refused, the Labour Party divided.
British media has lost the ability to influence public opinion
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 08/27/2018 - 2:39pmIf you only looked at the British media, you'd think that Jeremy Corbyn's political career was over. Recently the American media has echoed the same sentiments.
The many crimes of Jeremy Corbyn
Submitted by gjohnsit on Thu, 08/23/2018 - 6:17pmIt's difficult to say for sure just how evil the UK Labour leader is, but the British news media will try anyway. One thing is for certain, if you hate the political and media establishment then Jeremy Corbyn is your man.
Early on, Corbyn was a terrorist. Proof of this claim is the unforgivable sin of not wanting to bomb Syria.
Jeremy Corbyn will soon be Prime Minister of Britain
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 07/09/2018 - 5:39pmTwo months ago I wrote Brexit train wreck approaching.
Yesterday the first couple boxcars on the train derailed. You better cover your ears because this wreck is going to get loud.
