I can hardly believe how different UK and the world would’ve been if Anglos elected him instead of Bojo the clown. Alas, hating immigrants was more important.
Bojo was selected
All the replies from the Labour right to this tweet are “thank fuck this absolute lunatic never became prime minister with these insane views”.
Britain deserves everything coming to it.
Remember when he said he wouldn’t approve a nuclear first-strike and was mocked for being weak?
I’m curious if anyone knows how similar he is to Bernie Sanders? I’ve heard the two compared before vaguely, but I’m not very clear on the specifics. They both seem to inhabit that space of saying things like, you know, “maybe we shouldn’t destroy the world in a nuclear holocaust” and being called a radical for doing so. Or like, “I watched Star Wars and while I’m not totally sold on the rebel alliance, I do at least disagree with some of the things that Emperor Palpatine did.” And then people are like, “How dare you support those Death-Star-destroying rebels.” (Maybe joking a bit with that second example, but I’m not sure it’s far off if you make it analogous to geopolitics.)
But I feel like somebody said once he’s a bit more to the left of Bernie. Not really sure.
Not really similar, while not a communist Corbyn is a genuine leftist, consistent and principled in his way. Bernie on the other hand is controlled opposition, a sellout.
I think Bernie’s heart is in the right place, he’s just afraid of being completely removed from the apparatus like they did to Ralph Nader.
And look at what they did to Jezza- total character assassination with that antisemitism bullshit.
Naw both of them are good guys, just Jezzas got bigger ahem ideas
Bernie “Israel has a right to defend itself” Sanders is a “good guy”? Until a few years ago i may have believed that but at this point that’s just not believable when you take even a cursory look at who he has consistently aligned himself with. He’s a sheepdog for imperialism, plain and simple.
bernie’s old as fuck and he already has enough money to spend the rest of his time on earth out of poverty. what the fuck is he afraid of? what’s he waiting for?
Corbyn is probably the only genuine Soc Dem out there that hasn’t became a Neoliberal in Red Paint.
i may be misremembering but i remember back in the 2016 onward you’d hear chatter about how labour party bureaucrats would be shocked that these were his actual views and not something he said to gain power
BBC scrambling trying to spin this as anti-semetic
I think we’ll just have another uncreative “Corbyn SLAMMED for <misrepresentation of his position” that is typical of British rags these days, quoting some nobodies’ replies.
