Anti nuclear terrorist Jeremy Corbyn
Update (3 June 2017): Last night in a fake news BBC TV debate, the moderator allowed Jeremy Corbyn to pass off his terrorism support as being a contribution to the Good Friday Peace Agreement. This is fake news: Jeremy Corbyn wanted blackmail, surrender to the IRA's demands and an exit for the British Army in 1984. What really happened was that anti-terrorist "Peace Walls", the British Army, MI5, and the RUC defeated the thugs before signing a peace agreement, the exact opposite of Jeremy Corbyn's lie.
Only last week Corbyn again made another lying speech urging a surrender to terrorism, a continuation of his anti-deterrence, anti-civil defence CND lie. The BBC has a proved, admitted history of using censorship as a device for enforcing one-sided propaganda and fake news in election "debates". They permit Corbyn to use "fake news" to dismiss criticisms with no further probing, while falsely presenting endless hate attacks on opponents of international climate communism like Trump (who opposes the fear-mongering based fascist hate attacks on anyone who questions the stupidity of spending billions on a half ass effort to halt capitalism for the alleged saving of a 0.2C increase in global temperature, when there are civil wars raging which need walls to stop, walls which are again opposed by the communists).
Stephen Pollard explained in a Daily Express article on 26 April 2017 (page 12) that Corbyn is in effect acting as a communist terrorism stooge infiltrating the Labour Party with hatred and racism: "Take his endorsement yesterday by the Communist Party ... it's no joke. We sometimes need to remind ourselves that communists are not pie-in-the-sky idealists but proponents of an ideology that leads to mass slaughter and the destruction of freedom and democracy. Communism is merely another form of totalitarianism. For every Hitler there is a Stalin. For every Idi Amin there is a Hugo Chavez. ... [Jeremy Corbyn's] presence at a celebration in 2014 of the 35th anniversary of the ayatollahs seizing power in Iran. Mr Corbyn spoke on 'the case for Iran', alongside the British representative of the Mahdi Army militia, a group which between 2004 and 2008 killed at least 70 British soldiers in Iraq. ... He has described members of the terrorist group Hamas as 'friends'. He has praised British representatives of Hezbollah, the Iranian funded terror outfit.
"And in November 2012 he hosted a meeting in Parliament with Mousa Abu Maria, a member of the banned terrorist group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He has attended events run by Paul Eisen, a notorious Holocaust denier. ... And he sponsored the visit to Britain of anti-Semitic hate preacher Sheikh Raed Salah. Salah says that 9/11 was a Jewish plot ... he calls Jewish people 'monkeys' and 'bacteria'. ... When the government tried to have Salah barred from Britain, Mr Corbyn described him as 'a very honoured citizen ...' ."
With another violent terrorist related bomb attack yesterday, this time in Manchester rather than Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan (where similar attacks occur regularly), it's worth re-examining the prospects for openly pro-terrorism movement supporter (but allegedly anti-violence) Jeremy Corbyn to become Prime Minister.
True screen shot taken from a video of Corbyn in the article in Business Insider linked here, which explains: "Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn accepted up to £20,000 (about $27,000) for appearances on the Iranian state broadcast network Press TV — a channel that was banned in the UK for its part in filming the detention and torture of an Iranian journalist." We're all aware that Jeremy Corbyn has employed the son of a former BBC Director General and communist Guardian newspaper journalist and Stalinist-holocaust denier, Seaumas Milne as his propaganda director. Milne began his career working for the Communist Party of Great Britain's Straight Left, and in his 16 February 2006 Guardian newspaper article, he denied Stalin's holocaust of 20,000,000-40,000,000 people due to 1930s collectivisation (3-6 times as many as Nazi 6,000,000 murders) by claiming that only the murders of political rebels recorded in the Soviet Archives should be remembered: "the real records of repression now available from the Soviet archives are horrific enough (799,455 people were recorded as executed between 1921 and 1953 and the labour camp population reached 2.5 million at its peak) without engaging in an ideologically-fuelled inflation game". This is similar to David Irving's Jewish holocaust denial stunt, relying on incomplete official records and ignoring the hard facts of the holocaust established from the other records of population decrease. The 1972 edition of The Guinness Book of Records on page 201 states that the 1936-8 purge (the Yezhovshchina) by the NKVD (later called the KGB) led to evidence in: "population statistics which show a deficiency of males from before the outbreak of the 1941-45 war" and explains that this source of data (which is so callously ignored altogether by Milne) gives 8,000,000-10,000,000 dead as a probable minimum, to which must be added the "forced labour" deaths (again omitted from all official records, but estimated from population data) of 19,000,000 murders. So Milne is just a nasty, callous holocaust denier, and on a far bigger scale than David Irving, because the true fascism of the 1939 joint invasion of Poland by the USSR and Nazis (which lasted until June 1941) is being abused for his own personal political prejudices, which Jeremy Corbyn buys into. Later editions of the Guinness Book of Records gave more detailed statistical estimate of Stalin's total murders of 40 million. Milne is not refuting the details of these estimates, just ignoring them altogether (holocaust denial). The 1990 book The great terror: a reassessment by the great Robert Conquest, who had originally exposed a glimpse of the scale of the Soviet holocaust in 1968, shows that in the early 1930s over 14 million innocent Soviet citizens were murdered and by early 1939, 5% of the entire population of the Soviet Union had been arrested, 8 million innocent people were in concentration camps and prisons, and 90% of those died (2 million had already died in Soviet camps and prisons in 1937-8, and 1 million had been shot). Milne ignores all of this evidence: Jeremy Corbyn thus employs a terrible holocaust denier.
Extract (click on photo for larger view) from Leo McKinstry's brilliant article on shadow Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn's terrorism connections in the Daily Express, 15 May 2017, page 12. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who could become Britain's Prime Minister on 8 June 2017 in the general election, has repeatedly shown solidarity with terrorists like the IRA bomber Patrick Magee, who murdered five people in 1984 with a bomb in Brighton and crippled the wife of Norman Tebbit. Jeremy Corbyn was actually arrested in 1986 outside the Old Bailey when he protested against the prosecution of terrorist Magee. Will Corbyn do the same thing as Prime Minister, or not?
I'm all for supporting minority groups achieve freedom of speech, but that's not the same thing as supporting groups that murder innocent people with bombs or any other means. Corbyn is also anti-nuclear deterrence and even, as we have shown, anti-civil defence: he is obsessed with using contrived weasel words to try to attack every practical, proof-tested course of peaceful action that can mitigate and deter dictatorial aggression and terrorism. Chamberlain thrice tried talks and handshakes with terrorists in Germany in 1938, and it just encouraged aggression which is down to actions, not words.
1. Jeremy Corbyn claims he is anti-violence yet he has friends as terrorists, e.g. IRA and other terrorists.
2. Jeremy Corbyn claims he is anti-violence yet he supports terrorists, e.g. he supports Hamas.
3. Jeremy Corbyn claims he is anti-violence yet he is friend of Red Ken, cheerleader for anti-semites.
4. Jeremy Corbyn claims he is anti-violence yet he funded Holocaust deniers.
5. Jeremy Corbyn claims he is anti-violence yet he tolerated anti-semitism in the Labour party.
6. Jeremy Corbyn claims he is anti-violence yet he has been on the payroll of state-funded Iranian media.
17 May 1987 cutting from the Sunday Express's front page showing how Jeremy Corbyn supported terrorists (full transcript below; note that the article has been misquoted in fake news by terrorism -friends of Corbyn):
17 May 1987 Sunday Express, page 1:
“MP hails IRA dead
“A Labour MP stood in silence for a minute yesterday to honour the eight IRA gunmen shot dead in an SAS ambush nine days ago.
“Mr Jeremy Corbyn, 38, joined a 200-strong audience at London’s Conway Hall in paying tribute to the terrorists shot as they bombed Loughall police station in County Armagh, Ulster.
“Mr Corbyn, MP for Islington North, attacked the government’s Ulster policy and said troops should be pulled out of the Province.
"Then Mr Corbyn, MP for Islington North, attacked the Government's Ulster policy and said that troops should be pulled out of the province [thereby giving a free hand to the IRA terrorists and preventing the Good Friday peace agreement, which in 1999 occurred only after the terrorists had been disarmed].
“He told a meeting of the Wolfe Tone Society: ‘I’m happy to commemorate all those [terrorists] who died fighting for an independent Ireland’.”

Jeremy Corbyn is criticised by victims' families after failing to condemn the IRA
The sister of one IRA victim said Corbyn's refusal amounted to an “insult to all our dead loved ones"
"Mr Corbyn first met with Gerry Adams in London in 1984, well before the IRA campaign ended in 1994 [IRA terrorism ended in 1994 due to the British Army's disarming actions against terrorists, precisely what Jeremy Corbyn had opposed to loudly during the 1980s, when he believed like Chamberlain in 1938 in dialogue with terrorists prior to disarming them and as an alternative to disarming them, rather than disarming them first and talking afterwards which was the policy that proved to be successful with the IRA in the 1990s!]"
Above: the 1984 Jeremy Corbyn politics in support of talks with terrorists before disarming the terrorists. The IRA's 1984 slogan, "Give Ireland Peace and there will be no war," is just a copy-cat of Adolf Hitler's infamous 1938 tactics, fully explained by Genevieve Tabouis in her February 1938 Penguin books special, Blackmail or War, where she writes on page 8: "Perhaps war does not pay, but blackmail, based on the threat of war, certainly does." This is Jeremy Corbyn's shameful legacy. Everytime politicians go face to face and "negotiate" with terrorists who are violent coercive thugs and are in effect pointing a loaded gun at peace, you simply appease them and encourage more terrorism, more war! Jeremy Corbyn also showed contempt to the Jewish Chronicle by refusing the answer vital questions concerning racism.
"Just weeks after the Brighton bombing, Corbyn invited Gerry Adams, the president of Sinn Fein, and two convicted IRA terrorists to the House of Commons. ... In a disgraceful speech last Friday he stated that Britain had not fought a single just war since 1945 ... Corbyn said on Friday that he is not a pacifist. He certainly isn't. He is an apologist for terror movements and thuggist dictatorships all over the world, once describing both Hamas and Hezbollah as his "friends". [Jeremy Corbyn tries to exhonerate himself by using gibberish, Chamberlain-style weasel words to try to distance himself from the scorn of the victims of terrorists by denouncing all of the bloody murders done by the "political comrades in revolution", but he is in fact expressing hatred for capitalist integration and a love for the division of multi-cultural civil wars] ... he nauseatingly described the death of Osama Bin Laden as "a tragedy". ... A member of CND [campaign of anti-nuclear deterrence], he prevaricates feebly ... thereby rendering the whole concept of deterrence useless."
- Leo McKinstry, Daily Express, 15 May 2017, page 12.
Update (24 May 2017):
February 1938 Penguin book by Genevieve Tabouis, Blackmail or War.
In February 1938, a female French journalist, Genevieve Tabouis, the diplomatic editor of French newspaper l'Oeuvre, published the third Penguin special (S3), Blackmail or War, 246 page in length. The date page of my second printing shows that it was first printed in February 1938, and reprinted the same month. She warned clearly that the terrorist regime in Germany was using the threat of war to blackmail the appeasement-obsessed democracies into the defeatist policy of surrendering to racist terrorism:
"Italy had already seen during her Ethiopian adventure how prone the democracies were to yielding to blackmail of this kind. A year later, on March 7th, 1935, Germany received confirmation of it when ... she decided upon the re-militarisation of the Rhine ... Japan had set them both an example of these methods in 1932. All these victories were gained without any risk [the terrorists could have changed tactics if opposed, which didn't happen], without any fighting ... Perhaps war does not pay, but blackmail, based on the threat of war, certainly did. ... In France ... Public Opinion takes the point of view that war, which may perhaps be inevitable, would involve the utter ruin of our civilisation."
- Genevieve Tabouis, Blackmail or War, Penguin special S3, February 1938, pages 7-8.
Fear of terrorism was used, just as Tabouis warned in February 1938, against Chamberlain later that year when he flew to Germany three times to plead with a bigoted, racist terrorist, shaking his hand and obtaining his autograph on worthless paper "peace-deals". Tabouis also explains how terrorists use the propaganda tactics of internationalism and "uniting people" to start civil wars, just as terrorists use the same tactics now in bombing Britain and other countries to advance their agenda:
"In the name of 'racial science', which is simply imperialism in a new guise, he demanded that 100 million persons of German race and culture who are scattered throughout the world should be united ..."
- Genevieve Tabouis, Blackmail or War, Penguin special S3, February 1938, page 33.
This is precisely the tactic being copied today by the so-called "Islamic State" or "ISIS" terrorists when they claim to want to unite Sunni and Shia religions in a jihad against liberty and freedom. Commenting on the origins of Jeremy Corbyn's brand of extremism, Tabouis states on page 48 that support for communism, such as "the Commune of 1871 in France, can be traced to a nationalism which has been provoked beyond endurance." She notes on the same page (page 48) that fascist Mussolini turned from his communist firebrand origins into a nationalist dictator in October 1922, at roughly the same time that Hitler was trying to organise his early failed terrorist revolution.
"In France, the English have often been reproached for having welcomed fascism with the simple and short-sighted remark that every dictatorship in Europe is useful if it contributes to the maintenance of order. Such was undoubtedly Sir Austen Chamberlain's [British Foreign Minister and the half-brother of the 1938 Nazi-appeasing ideologue Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain] idea when he proceeded to Rome in 1925, at a moment when Mussolini was in considerable difficulties. The British Foreign Minister took the view that the fall of Mussolini would involve Italy in a fresh bout of anarchy and internal disturbances which would form a pretext for further unrest in Europe and would, above all, be likely to harm British commercial interests.
"Sir Austen took advantage of a summer cruise in the Mediterranean to meet the Duce [Mussolini] at Leghorn. ... The following year, Sir Austen tried to do Primo de Rivera [of Spain] the same favour by going on a cruise to Barcelona. He imagined that he was acting in the interests of order and peace, whereas both in Italy and Spain, these moves were interpreted as granting a free hand to the joint ambitions of the two Latin dictators."
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain wasn't so "naive" in the way usually described, flying to Germany to visit Hitler three times in 1938, first shaking Hitler's hand at Berchtesgaden, when a week later going to Godesberg to do the same, and finally meeting Hitler for a third time in Munich at the end of September 1938. His half-brother, Sir Austen Chamberlain, had masterminded the "let's talk to terrorists and dictators"-appeasement strategy more than a decade earlier, leading to a secure dictatorship of fascism in Italy and a Civil War in Spain. This is fact. Chamberlain wanted fascism.
The idea that Britain should have a blathering, fascist supporting Prime Minister who shakes hands with terrorists like Hitler in the name of reducing our defence budget is not a far-fetched fantasy but is a real threat, since it has happened previously.
UPDATE (26 May 2017): Jeremy Corbyn will today exploit the Manchester terrorist attack to make a ranting speech against so-called British imperialism, which he blames for the suicide attacks of 9/11
Taking offense at anti British terrorism and anti British racism: Leo McKinstry in the Daily Express, 25 May 2017, page 12.
Jeremy Corbyn will today make a ranting speech attacking Britain for combatting the 9/11 terrorist network, blaming British "imperialist" military anti-terrorist actions, and effectively siding with the terrorist network which hates liberty and freedom, while trying to censor any disclosure of his own involvement in backing murders by terrorists!
The police will not arrest Jeremy Corbyn again, as they did in 1986 when he tried to prevent the prosecution of the terrorist Patrick Magee at the Old Bailey court in London. They will permit him to incite hatred and violence because he is politically powerful and has the backing of the Guardian and BBC.
Update (26 May 2017): Jeremy Corbyn's hate speech blaming terrorism on British opponents of terrorism
“I
have spent my political life working for peace and human rights and to bring an
end to conflict and devastating wars. [No, mate, you opposed the disarming of
the IRA which led to peace in Northern Ireland , and you sided with the
murderers, getting arrested outside the Old Bailey in 1986 when trying to stop
the just prosecution of the inhumane bomber Patrick Magee!] That will almost
always mean talking to people you profoundly disagree with. [No, mate, that was
what Sir Austen Chamberlain did with Mussolini in 1925, what Neville
Chamberlain did with Hitler three times in 1938, and what you did with the IRA
in 1984 leading them to intensify their murderous bombing spree until the brave
SAS disarmed them!] That’s what conflict
resolution is all about. [No, mate, the peace talks come after you win the
war to stop the thugs, not the other way around.] … Democracy will prevail. We must defend
our democratic process, win our arguments by discussion and debate, and stand
united against those who would seek to take our rights away, or who would
divide us. [No, you liar, you are not a
democrat and you don’t win the arguments by discussion because you REFUSED TO
EVEN TAKE A SINGLE QUESTION after you gave this very speech! Duh!
Your speech was a democratic as a Nuremberg Rally speech by Hitler, or
as democratic as a pontificating rant by Fidel Castro or Joseph Stalin!]”

Jeremy Corbyn, hate speech favouring negotiations with terrorists, 26 May 2017 .
Jeremy Corbyn blames terrorist attacks such as Manchester bombing on UK foreign policy
"Intelligence experts [Corbyn's CND liars presumably, and their fascist European Union friends] have linked ‘wars our government has supported or fought in other countries and terrorism here at home’, Labour leader claims"
Rob Merrick Deputy Political Editor
"Jeremy Corbyn has taken the hugely controversial step of blaming Britain’s foreign wars for terror attacks such as the Manchester suicide bombing....
" “It is also a dereliction of duty to allow jihadis to return to this country, including it seems, Monday night’s terrorist,” said Ukip leader Paul Nuttall."
Update (27 May 2017):
Extract from the article, "Now Corbyn uses human suffering for political ends" by Chris Roycroft Davis, Daily Express 27 May 2017, page 12. Jeremy Corbyn has consistently voted in the House of Commons against measures to halt terrorists, including the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act of 2001 and the 2006 Terrorism Act, and in 2011 he voted against the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Act, and 18 months ago he abstained from voting for the Investigative Powers Bill, but he now blames everybody but himself for the results of his terrorism support in Manchester.
One thing he has consistently supported is communism, addressing the 40th Annual Congress of the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1989 to attack the deterrence of terrorism as being an "obscenity" and pledging "unwavering commitment to unilateral disarmament" while standing in front of a hammer and sickle USSR flag, as reported and photographed in the communist paper, Morning Star. The 40th Annual Congress was hosted in his constituency of North Islington, a hotbed for anti-British racists and hate inciters. Corbyn supported race war, cultural war, class war and religious war as part of the USSR's "divide and rule" assault on Britain in the Cold War, and he maintains these principles.
Update, 31 May 2017
29 May 2017 Daily Express page 12: newspaper editorial about Diane Abbott's claim that "every defeat of the British state is a victory for us all." She also deliberately incited hate and tried to start a race war by saying in the 15 November 1985 issue of Socialist Challenge: "all white people are racist".
The same page contains Leo McKinstry's article on the problem of Corbyn's Marxist shadow chancellor John McDonnell who rants in front of communist banners: in the 1970s Britain's Marxist unions controlled Labour prime minister James Callaghan, forcing endless strikes, particularly after Britain's IMF bailout when nationalised industries simply went on strike for higher pay (believing that the money should be spent on them, not used as Callaghan wanted to pay interest on Britain's debt mountain).
I remember having to repeatedly walk home from school as a young child in the dark, to a cold house - the electric heaters were off for the same reason as the street lamps - and try to do homework by candle light (when the shops hadn't sold out of candles), because of the coal strives which cut the power generators. There was one factory with lights on the the town, and they had their own small generator. That was the "joy" of Britain's flirtation with 1970s Marxism. In the 1980s, Thatcher turned to nuclear power to keep the lights on, and to prevent the coal miners holding the heavily debt ridden country to ransom. The danger is like this: nationalising everything the way Corbyn wants costs money (the government sells bonds to investors to get the cash - but the government has to promise to buy the bonds back paying extra i.e. interest, to get people to buy them).
We already have a colossal £1.7 trillion national debt, more per head than even bankrupt states like Greece. The only reason we aren't bankrupt like Greece, despite our greater debt, is that we attract lots of job-creating businesses in the competitive world by offering relatively attractive corporation tax rates, etc. Corbyn wants to raise corporation tax to get money, but we have already tried that in the 1970s and it failed: companies went away taking their money, their jobs, etc. People moved away to tax havens. Like the USSR or Greece, you end up with a reduced productive private sector, and a massively bloated state sector which is funded essentially by tax from the reduced private sector. The state sector becomes filled with union controlled workers whose main role ends up as militancy and strikes. A recipe for bankrupcy. When the debt reaches the point where investors become scared of your country's impending bankrupcy, they demand more interest or they invest elsewhere. So you pay higher interest rates on the debt mountain, which means that your main expenditure becomes debt interest. Eventually, you begin borrowing just to pay interest on existing debt. Then, even the dumbest investor runs. At that point, the country is insolvent, inflation kicks in, and the country is ruined for decades, as it was by 1979. In a good case, the country then comes to its senses and backs a return to private industry, but that leads to riots, hatred and division state jobs are lost to save money.
McKinstry ignores the 1970s episode in Britain, and gives a more recent example where Corbyn backed the 1999 Marxist revolution in Venezuela by Hugo Chavez which nationalised and taxed the country into bankrupcy: "Inflation is running at 1660 percent. Shops are empty. Riots are endemic." Corbyn welcomed this destruction of Venezuela with the Marxist blather: "Success for radical policies in Venezuela is being achieved by providing for the poorest." The problem is that democracy got Hitler elected in 1933 on false promises: Hitler's massive "national socialist" state spending for full employment was done on the back of a debt bubble that mortgaged Germany's future, and the borrowed money had ran out by 1939. War ensued. Jeremy Corbyn has recently been trying to promote a friendly image of himself by claiming he campaigned for the release of South African terrorist movement supporters, e.g. Nelson Mandela. However, at the time Corbyn was supporting all the terrorist groups like the IRA and ANC, they were killing people. It wasn't terrorism or violence that solved the problems, it was reconciliation, and that didn't result from appeasement, but from de-radicalising terrorism supporters and turning them into peaceful, reasonable people. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev, negotiating from a position of strength, not from a position of weakness.
"... it is surprising that many of our politicians ... eulogised about a mass murderer [Martin McGuinness's IRA murdered 1,778 British nationals and 162 Irish "informers"] ... Cheerleader-in-Chief - naturally - was the BBC. ... In reality, it was the death of a man who authorised murder on a staggering scale and condoned executions, torture, knee-cappings, beatings and intimidation of supposed informers ... McGuinness [by age 22] was second in command. That coincided with the Bloody Sunday protest, which was the sibject of the £200 million inquiry that concluded, amongst other findings, that McGuinness had definitely 'engaged in paramilitary activity' on the day. ... As one of the group's seven man Army Council, McGuinness would have authorised horrific terror attacks ... Yet for so many last week, he was a hero ... For Tony Blair he was 'a thoughtful, reflective and committed individual.' Blair's right-hand man Alistair Campbell called him 'a very, very warm human being and very likeable', and 'a great guy'. Even former US president Bill Clinton waxed lyrical. 'Martin was calm, courageous and direct,' he said. ...
"The unpalatable truth is this: when this killer decided to be a peacemaker, the game was up for his beloved IRA. The British Army, MI5 and the Royal Ulster Constabulary had defeated the thuggish terrorists [using raids, detentions, disarmament of the terrorists by force, anti-terrorist ambushes to deter raids, and the anti-blast "peace walls" to provide security to communities and make serious terrorist attacks harder to accomplish; all vital tactics to use against so-called "Islamic State", unlike making friends with terrorists as Jeremy Corbyn wants to do, and falsely claims was what was done in Northern Ireland]. All that was left for him was to flee to safety and secure a deal that would guarantee him immunity from any prosecutions. That so many were taken in [by BBC pro terrorist propaganda "fake news"] with his new stance simply shows their naivety. The BBC breathlessly informed us that, when he died, he was surrounded by his loved ones. How many of his victims could say the same?"

Update (3 June 2017):
The last Revolutionary Communist infiltration of Britain's Labour Party
"Even for the 1980s, when Labour was in the wilderness, his [Jeremy Corbyn's] views were extreme, as reflected in his demand for 'the overthrow of capitalism' or his support for violent Irish Republicanism. ... Corbyn is often praised for strong, unchanging convictions, but there is nothing laudable in this [honest people admit when they are wrong]. Josef Stalin, Pol Pot and Chairman Mao all had strong convictions ... Corbyn's far-left radicalism is the antithesis of liberal democracy ... like an old Soviet relic from the Cold War era. This is a man who wants us to abandon our nuclear deterrent and hand the Falkland Islands to Argentina. ... His approach is a recipe for a return to the dark, chaotic days of the 1970s when the country was wrecked by bullying unions and expensive state socialism ... Corbyn's defenders call him 'a breath of fresh air.' In truth, he represents the fetid, dying gasp of rotten Labour."
- Leo McKinstry, Daily Express, 14 September 2015, page 12.
WOODROW WYATT'S 1977 "WHAT'S LEFT OF THE LABOUR PARTY?" (MARXISM!)
Woodrow Wyatt's 1977 book, What's Left of the Labour Party? (Marxism!), reviews the infiltration tactics used by Communists to get into the Labour Party and in Trade Unions to turn them into Marxist puppets of the Soviet Union, causing Britain's descent into economic bankrupcy (requiring an IMF bailout) in the 1970's. Wyatt was a Labour MP who served as Under Secretary for War in Attlee's second government. Attlee took extreme measures to proscribe communists from taking over the Labour Party, but subsequent leaders, propped up with Marxist trade union cash, succumbed. In 1956, Wyatt warned about Communists falsifying ballots to gain control of the Electricians' Union, which funded the Labour Party. The book's jacket blurb explains the Orwellian doublethink involved clearly:
"The capturing of important official posts in the Labour Party and the trade unions by tiny, unrepresentative and malevolent minorities is called expressing the people's will. The prevention of secret postal ballots in union affairs is called protecting union members from undemocratic outside interference. Block votes wielded at Labour Party Conferences by a handful of trade union leaders who have not consulted their members, or ascertained their wishes [Corbyn wants to repeal laws forcing democracy upon trade union strike decisions, etc.], are described as the epitome of representative democracy. The selection of ultra-Left Wing Labour candidates by tiny local caucuses who have views alien to 90% of Labour voters is called acting in the people's name."
This book was published two years before the 1978-9 winter of discontent when the strikers refused to bury the dead, collect rubbish, provide coal for electric power stations, and disrupted life for millions of people. Wyatt explains on page 137 what the basic problem is: Russians were in 1977 allowed ownership of 1/3 acre, amounting to 1% of the total arable acre, the other 99% being collective state farms. The 1% of the farmland owned privately generated 33% of all Russian foodstuffs. In other words, private farming in Russia was over 30 times more efficient than collective state farms: communism was a disaster compared to private enterprise! On page 164, Wyatt recommended that the communist ridden Labour Party be sent into the wilderness for a long time to cleanse itself of toxic ideologues (something which occurred on 4 May 1979 and lasted until 1997):
"The Labour Party must have the shock of going into the wilderness for a long time - at least for two Parliaments. The Social Democrats in it would then apprehend that the tactic of appeasing the Marxists and the extreme Left Wing in order to present itself an apparently united Party to win elections has exhausted itself. ... Social Democrats do not believe that the power of the State is more powerful than the liberty of the individual. The Marxists, Trotskyists, and other extremes in the Labour Party, on the contrary, believe that the people are not competent to choose what is best for them, but must have a Socialist system imposed upon them. Hence, they are little different from outright members of the Communist Party."
Wyatt starts his book by a review of what really happened when Karl Marx, writing his evil doctrine of communist in British Library of London, turned anarchist gibberish into a religion. In 1870, five years before Marx's infamous rant, 47 anarchists issued a declaration after being arrested for an attempted uprising at Lyon: "From each according to his faculties, to each according to his needs." All that Karl Marx did in 1875 was to change the anarchist's word "facilities" to "abilities". The roots of Britain's Marxism had been laid by Chamberlain's government when it nationalised coal royalties in 1938, the idea being to safeguard the price of coal (a basic necessity) from profiteering. (Attlee later nationalised the actual coal mines.)
Conservatives also first nationalised electricity distribution in 1926 by creating the Central Electricity Board which owned the National Grid of power cables. During World War II, Churchill created Britain's "Social State" including social workers and state funded health care, which had to be set up to care for millions of children, disabled people and mothers evacuated from bombing target areas before the Blitz, and the injured and homeless in air raids. This wartime civil defence network of state hospitals and social services provided a testing ground and nucleus for Attlee's National Health Service or Welfare State of 1948, initially done on an economic, sound budget. While civil defence hating Marxists like Corbyn choose to ignore the wartime British social state, and claim that Attlee was elected in 1945 to create what was already begun (Churchill's 1945 manifesto also provided for a welfare state), the truth is that Attlee just took the credit for extending the WWII welfare system, and he was only elected because by 1945 people wanted a change after 14 years of Conservative rule.
The problems of nationalisation soon became clear: the government, as state employer for millions of health workers and other nationalised industry workers, is constantly fighting union blackmail by strikes for higher wages. Taxation to pay those wages then chokes the private industry which is paying the tax, pushing up its costs, making its exports too expensive to be competitive in the world.
While some of Attlee's nationalisation program made sense and has never been reversed (Attlee nationalised the Bank of England), much of it has later been re-privatised (sold off) in part or whole by Conservative governments (for example, water companies, telecommunications, and the railways). Corbyn wants to re-nationalise, at tremendous expense. While the wholesale nationalisation in 1960-90's Britain was defended as preventing exploitative private cartels of greedy big businesses, "state control" (aka Trade Union Marxist strike-blackmail control) had its own set of problems. Prior to the privatisation of Britain's only and state-owned telecommunications company, "Post Office Telecommunications" (which was later renamed British Telecom, or BT), my commerce teacher used to debunk the notion of private telephone companies by explaining that the idea would lead to roads being repeatedly dug up by the different companies, each to lay their own cables, while the unnecessary duplication of head offices (for all the private companies) would be inefficient compared to state control. However, sometimes the advantages of competition and consumer choice outweigh those disadvantages. The Labour Party was committed to nationalisation through the infamous communist type "Clause 4" of its constitution, which demanded "common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange".
This communist type "Clause 4" was fought bravely by the great Labour Leader Hugh Gaitskell at the 1959 Blackpool conference of the Labour Party, but he was outvoted, Labour lost the next election, and "Clause 4" for communist-type nationalising remained until 1995. Its final death in 1995 led to the landslide Labour victory in 1997, led by CND member Tony Blair, who started terrible wars instead of deterring them or defending people with a peaceful, disaster mitigating Civil Defence Corps (which Attlee had set up in 1948 but Marxist Harold Wilson had abolished in 1968).
By 1974, the Labour Party Manifesto was driven almost entirely by its Marxist Union paymasters and had an agenda virtually copied straight from Karl Marx:
"We shall introduce an annual wealth tax on the rich; bring in a new tax on major transfers of personal wealth ... To achieve far greater economic equality ... To increase social equality ... To bring about a fundamental and irreversible shift in the balance of power and wealth in favour of working people and their families."
Wyatt comments on page 103 of his 1977 book that this led to a Catch-22 that made Marxist influence dominate in the Labour Party and bankrupt the country: "All Labour Governments have begun by overspending and have been forced to draw back. Each time they have drawn back, the protests of their Left Wing have become more influential, and the cutbacks less effective. Each Labour Government leaves us with a total public spending higher than when it took office and which weighs down productive industry still further. By uneven jerks, the economy grows weaker."
The problem is that, just as the fact that 70% of immigrants today vote Labour, drives Labour to welcome excessive immigration (which drives up hospital waiting lists, house prices, rent costs, pollution, overcrowding, social deprivation, etc.) for the extra votes, the majority of state employed voters also vote Labour, which encourages Labour Governments to expand the state payroll for political vote gain, as Wyatt explains on page 101:
"The larger the government payroll can be made, the greater the voting strength of Labour. Labour is the champion of public expenditure, however wasteful. ... In June 1976 there were some 2,900,000 local government employees ... an increase of ... 1,200,000 over the figure for June 1964 ... There are some 850,000 workers in the National Health Service ... Their numbers have multiplied exceedingly without any improvement in the quality ... Add the totals employed in the Civil Service, local government and National Service ... 4,500,000. When wives and adult dependants are included, the voting figure at general elections is gigantic. By the nature of their work, none of these employees can be connected to a profit motive, or have any direct interest in whether industry does well or badly."
Wyatt points out on page 102, that reducing the number of state employees to the 1964 level would save £6 billion a year and be a terrific boost to bankrupt 1977 Britain, but it would be political suicide for the Labour Party to sack so many Labour voters, and Marxists loved making Britain bankrupt as it provided an added excuse to flog a dead horse (or kill a golden goose, if you prefer): "An added attraction to the extremist is that this wasteful expenditure entails an unnaturally high rate of taxation. It enables him to say that, in order for justice to be done, those with incomes beyond £10,000 a year or with assets beyond £50,000 should be annihilated by taxation. ... The less money the individual is allowed to keep, the less democratic an expression can he give to his wishes, and the more he becomes a slave to the State; and eventually he accepts his fate because he can see no way of escaping it." Putting that another way, it was Britain's enormous Marxist orientated state sector expansion by Harold Wilson after 1964 which caused the financial crisis of the 1970's. Thatcher had to use draconian tactics after 1979 to stabilise and begin rebuilding Britain's economy, cutting down state sector spending and thereby reducing private sector taxation back to levels that made private business profitable again.
A Gallup Poll in January 1977 showed that 54% of British people stated that the most powerful man in England was not the relatively harmless puppet Prime Minister James Callaghan, but the man who pulled his strings, the infamous Marxist Jack Jones, the General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union (which in 1977 had two million members, and a large Labour Party block vote). Wyatt explains on page 104: "According to the BBC's overseas monitoring service, Jack Jones himself said on East German radio on 26 June 1976 that he felt at home in East Germany. There is no reason to doubt him." In the same way, Jeremy Corbyn, while a vile hater of liberty in his own right, is also just a puppet on a string controlled by the big union paymasters, which effectively influence Labour. So with a Marxist Labour government, the control of the country by the Prime Minister becomes just a front for the freedom hating extremists (militant trade unionists).
Wyatt puts this clearly in the title of chapter 9 of his 1977 book: "The Marxist Minority in the Labour Party controls the Minority Labour Government", where he explains on page 104 that less than 30% of the electorate actually voted for Labour when it got 39% of votes cast and won the election in October 1974. Wyatt goes on to explain on pages 111-112 that, in accordance with General Secretary Jack Jones' love of communist East Germany, Labour's Programme for Britain 1976: "sets out the plan for creating an Eastern European style society in Britain. At the 1976 Labour Party Conference in Blackpool, care was taken to see that this plan was endorsed by a card vote ... This makes the whole document of 147 pages the confirmed and actual policy of the Labour Party. ... As an addition to this document, which was first published on 28 May 1976, Labour's National Executive ... announced the impending nationalisation of the four big banks - National Westminster, Lloyds, Barclays and Midland."
Britain was only spared turning into another East Germany by this Marxist crap because the money promptly ran out! In 1976, Callaghan had to beg the IMF (International Monetary Fund) for a bailout of $4 billion. The IMF insisted then (like Germany does now, when bailing out Greek debts) that Callaghan made severe cuts to Britain's wasteful expenditure, and this condition on the IMF loan killed off Jack Jones' dreams for forcing USSR communist system upon Britain: we didn't have the money to nationalise everything. As Thatcher put it, socialism had run out of other people's money!
"Nor should it be assumed that having achieved Labour's Programme for Britain 1976 the Marxists would be satisfied. They would go on and on until Clause 4 had been turned into a reality by State takeover ... Just as in Eastern European countries the government would make the plans for industry and order industries to carry them out, however unsuitable they may be for the economy. Strangled by regulations and inappropriate instructions, what was left of free enterprise would be bankrupted and thus could be taken over by the Marxist-dominated Labour Party at little cost, until the State owned everything, however profitless and inefficient it had become."
- Woodrow Wyatt, What's Left of the Labour Party?, Sidgwick and Jackson, London, 1977, pages 113-114.
Wyatt's analysis then becomes as bleak as Orwell's 1984. Wyatt explains on pages 122-3 how the 1976 Marxist Labour Party planned to nationalise, and bring into government control, the press (TV was already fully infiltrated by Marxists):
"The Marxists know very well that it is impossible to run a Marxist state if a free press continues to operate within it. The repression which is inseparable from a Marxist State requires that the citizen should not know the facts about what is going on in his own country or abroad. It requires that the citizen should have no place, other than in controlled Party circles, to voice any criticism of the way the country is being run.
"Isolation from fact and opinion is essential in curbing discontent and refusal to cooperate with the authorities. It is not by chance that as the Marxist influence has grown in the Labour Party, so has concern with ways, which it is hoped can be made to look respectable [e.g. clamping down on misinformation, fear mongering, enemy propaganda, or faked news], to end the freedom of the press. ...
"Hitler obligingly set out his plans in Mein Kampf but the world did not read this instructive work for fear of being bored. The Marxist extremists controlling the Labour Party have with equal frankness set out their plans. It is not witch hunting to point out the similarity of their ideas to the systems operating in Eastern Europe. It is merely recording the facts from their own published proposals. ... the Labour Government would have collapsed during 1975, 1976 and 1977 if the International Monetary Fund had not helped."
Wyatt on pages 125-6 shows why Britain was going bankrupt by examining the number of administrators in the NHS, National Health Service. In 1966 there was one administrator for 9.5 hospital beds, while ten years later in 1976 there was one administrator for every 4.8 beds. This example led to cycle of expansion and sacking of the number of administrators in hospitals: nurses and doctors would ask for administrators to free them from paperwork and allow them to spend more of their time on patients. Then a vast amount of the NHS budget would be spent on administrators, leading to cut backs on nurses and doctors. The next government would then pledge to cut the administrators, and the cycle of hiring and firing would begin all over again! (My mother, an immigrant state registered staff nurse in NHS hospitals from the start of her career in 1951 until retirement, saw endless cycles of hiring and firing of NHS administrators for political agendas. It cost a great deal of money to fire administrators due to redundancy pay-offs, and system changes. The original Matron system left the administration responsibility in the hands of a senior nurse. Efforts to cheapen the administration cost led to some tragic, irresponsible errors in paperwork, with examples of patients being given the wrong medication, or even having the wrong leg amputated.)
"It would seem unthinkable that the Marxists and Trotskyists and ultra-Left Wing fanatics should be able to foist their ideas on the British people. But in the same speech in which Callaghan welcomed Labour's Programme for Britain 1976 he said: 'I also draw the Party's attention to a new factor creeping into the Party, which I warn against - namely those elements which misuse the word 'Socialist' and who seek to infiltrate our Party and use it to their own ends. They are almost all recognisable by their jargon and their intolerance'."
- Woodrow Wyatt, What's Left of the Labour Party?, page 128.
Wyatt explained on pages 151-153 that genuine, carefully rational Marxist-fascist witch-hunting is encouraged as a fun and moral sport: "Between 1956 and 1972 the nationalised industries, despite their monopolistic position, lost £1,168,000,000. Between 1962 and 1972 the nationalised industries received over £6,500,000,000 in subsidies, with which they were still unable, overall, to make a profit. ... The idea that the nationalised industries can ever be as efficient as the private sector is a joke. While the nationalised industries paid only £81 million in taxes between 1962 and 1972, the private sector companies paid £13,729,000,000. Yet investment in the nationalised industries between 1948 and 1972 was about 1/5 of the entire total of national investment in fixed assets in the United Kingdom. ... Pouring money into the nationalised industries and getting low productivity, and inferior results, has helped to hold back rises in the standard of living which would have taken place but for nationalisation."
Wyatt also explains on page 43 the history of communist party thugs, as wolves in sheep's clothing, infiltrating Labour due to the electorate's hatred of communist (owing to the communist aggressive inhumanity of the Cold War in Eastern Europe, Korea, etc.):
"In 1950, all the Communist Party's 100 candidates were defeated, including two Communist MPs who had sat in the 1945 Parliament. This heightened the determination of the Communists to control the Labour Party by indirect means, since they would not establish themselves in Parliament under their own name. Already the Communists had been for some years the masters of the Electricians' Union, by rigging the ballots. This gave them a minor say at Labour Party conferences. They now concentrated on capturing the important Engineers' Union either through open Communists or through those who for tactical or other reasons did not disclose themselves as Communist sympathisers [likewise, communists simply took out cheap Labour Party memberships to elect Jeremy Corbyn to party leadership, and they apply for admission as TV audience members on political TV debates, claiming to be undecided, Labour or even Conservative, in order to be accepted in large numbers to falsely "represent" another party, so they can clap for Marxist causes and shout down or heckle reason]. Some of the extremists in the Parliamentary Labour Party since 1945 were actually undercover Communists, others were very close to the Communist viewpoint [this includes the whole Labour shadow Cabinet today in 2017]. ... The importance of deception to the Communists can be seen by their fury when a low-profile Communist is publicly identified as such."
Wyatt's chapter 5 is titled, "[Nye] Bevan and [Harold] Wilson find useful the Support of Marxists and Extremists", and states at pages 51-3:
"One side, led by Nye Bevan and Harold Wilson, was relying on the support of Marxists and extremists ... Accordingly, as pressures grow, the leaders of the Labour Party feel obliged to put more and more nonsense into their Party programme, in order to placate their internal enemies [an example of Irving Janis's "groupthink"]. ... After the 1952 Labour Conference, Hugh Gaitskell made a speech at Stalybridge. In it, he openly alleged that there had been distinct Communist infiltration among the delegates to the 1952 Labour Party Conference at Morecambe. He went on to say, 'It is time to end the attempt at mob rule by a group of frustrated journalists, and restore the authority and leadership of the solid, sound, sensible majority of the movement."
On page 59, Wyatt tells the sorry story of how the communists abused him for exposing communist infiltration of the Electricians' Union, in his television broadcasts about the problem:
"The Communists were still in command and retaining their hold by cooking the union elections. It was thought very disloyal of me to restore democracy to the Electricians's Union. I was expelled from the local Labour Party to which I belonged in London [the usual Communist tactic of ganging up like thugs to intimidate whistle-blowers], which recommended that I should not be allowed to stand as a Labour candidate again. Fortunately, Gaitskell, unhelped by Wilson, persuaded the National Executive to take no notice. Communists and extremists are considered all right because they are on the Left. Those who attack, expose and root them out are reprehensibly on the Right. Doing so ensured that I had no political future."
Wyatt explains the sick "CND" anti-nuclear deterrence psychology of Communist thugs on page 65:
"Productivity was never of any interest to the extremists. They would rather control men's lives in uniform misery according to their definition of the public good, than allow them to flourish freely. In 1960, the most promising cause for overthrowing the Labour leadership was that of unilateral nuclear disarmament. Many well-meaning but intellectually backward people, especially among the young, had been persuaded that their nuclear destruction was imminent. Futile protest marches, from the atomic research centre at Aldermaston to Trafalgar Square, were undertaken and were very popular at Easter. Those like Michael Foot, Barbara Castle, Tony Greenwood, and [Union boss and 1964-6 Minister for Technology in Harold Wilson's Labour Government] Frank Cousins, anxious to curry favour ... joined in the demonstrating. That they could not have been very sincere [like Tony Blair's CND membership] was evidenced by their happily taking office subsequently in Labour Governments more heavily armed with the power of nuclear destruction than any that went before them.
"Not that they were alone in their hypocrisy. Others of their comrades flaunted themselves at unilateral nuclear disarmament meetings, and later satisfied themselves that their consciences were in order when they received and accepted the call to office. Judith Hart, Peter Shore, and others all thought their passionate support for unilateral nuclear disarmament was of secondary importance to ministerial position."
Famously, at the 1957 Labour Party Conference where anti-nuclear deterrence hatred had culminated in a motion for unilateral nuclear disarmament, Bevan responded that such a stupid, defeatist policy would send Britain's Foreign Secretary naked into the conference chamber. But the nuclear haters persisted when Bevan died in July 1960, and union boss Frank Cousins denounced Hugh Gaitskell's pro-nuclear deterrent views as contrary to Socialism. This eventually reached a head in the 1983 and 1987 general elections, where Labour was led to defeat, respectively, by anti-nuclear Michael Foot and by anti-nuclear Neil Kinnock. Woodrow Wyatt shows that income tax levels reached 83% in 1975, and on page 133 he explains how the British communist nuclear disarmament plan to allow blackmail or invasion by Russian communists fitted into the taxation plan to create slaves in a dictatorship:
"all taxation is a limitation of an individual's rights to deal as he wishes with the money he has earned or accumulated. All taxation carried beyond a certain point must diminish the will, by effort and ingenuity, to earn more. ... Slowly we have grown to accept the view that none of our money is our own, that the State owns all of it and is graciously pleased to allow us to spend an ever-smaller part of it. We are grateful for tax reliefs, as though they were a present, instead of a diminution in the amount confiscated. ... the greater the taxation, the less the liberty. Not only is the taxpayer made more dependent on the State, but he has less freedom of choice as to what to do with his money. The decisions are increasingly removed from him, inducing a servile state of mind."
Wyatt's final chapter 12, "What is to be done?" at page 165 offers brilliant advice that is fully applicable today to sort out Marxist Jeremy Corbyn's divided Labour Party:
"The real home for the Marxists and their allies is in a separate Communist Party in which they could openly declare their true beliefs instead of dissembling about them as they do today. ... A prerequisite is a landslide, or massive, victory for the Conservatives at the next election. A narrow anti-Labour majority would not destroy the extreme Left Wingers. It would stimulate them to argue more fiercely that the reason Labour lost was because the manifesto was not Socialist enough."

Update: 6 June 2017, some good news at last after the recent terrorist attacks
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express (page 7): martial arts expert, kick boxer and journalist Geoff Ho of the Sunday Express bravely fought the London terrorists in the 3 June 2017 attack, and this story is useful because it proves that something can be done against this low-technology (truck hit-and-run followed by knife attack) terrorism:
"Geoff had been watching the Champions League final in the bar with friends. He quickly saw what was happening and stepped in to try and stop them killing people, but they stabbed him. He is a hero, and we are all praying for his speedy recovery."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express page 8 on need for fighting extremists not merely appeasing or paying them off with fine words. Col Richard Kemp, Former Chairman of the government's Cobra Intelligence Group states: "We must confront this violent challenge to our way of life with the same defiance as our fathers met Nazi aggression ... the spirit of ordinary citizens who ran at the terrorists, hurling missiles at them to save their fellow Londoners. It is the fighting spirit that we must all adopt, not candles, illuminations, teddy bears and group hugs. The gloves must come off ... The threat these enemies pose to the lives of our people morally outweighs any risk to their own human rights. ... One of the greatest dangers is from people from this country who have fought with the Islamic State in Iraq, Syria or elsewhere. They have been bloodied in battle and involved in mass murder, torture and rape. That makes it easy for them to kill again and they are trained, motivated and under orders ... Four hundred have already returned ... we must destroy the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Our action against IS has been feeble, allowing them to direct attacks worldwide including in the UK."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express (page 9) Corbyn now accepts - far too late - laws against terrorists, although he arrogantly opposed every anti-terror law since 1983, boasting in 2011: "I've been involved in opposing anti-terror legislation ever since I first went into Parliament in 1983."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express (page 2) Editorial endorses Donald Trump's criticism of politically correct crap from British politicians regarding terrorism: "Being hung, drawn and quartered is nothing more than they deserve after throwing men off tall buildings just for being gay, lowering people in cages into swimming pools to drown them, cruelly stoning victims to death and now causing havoc on our streets. How dare they. Donald Trump ridicules our politicians for being politically correct [the old Chamberlain problem of shaking hands with terrorists] in our reaction to these outrages. He is right."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express page 16 Leo McKinstry explains how the standard response of appeasing pro jihadi unity is precisely what terrorists expect and want: "Every new act of Islamic terrorism is now followed by the same ritual ... they are dangerous because they rob us of the ability to defend ourselves and retaliate against our enemies. ... We are being groomed to accept Islamic terrorism in the UK as normal. The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan even said that these atrocities are 'part and parcel' of modern urban life. That is the attitude that runs through the establishment. ... In 1940 there was a genuine sense of unity, forged by a shared national identity. Just as importantly, Winston Churchill's government starkly spelt out the nature of the threat ... and took heroic action against it. There has been little such defiance from the British state against militant Islam. As Theresa May admitted yesterday, there has been 'far too much tolerance of extremism in our country'. ... 23,000 jihadi fanatics in Britain .... at least 500 Islamist plots. MI5 has only 4,000 officers ... Internment without trial, controversially used in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s, has an ugly history, but it might be a necessary emergency measure. The government also needs to ... [be] excluding Muslims who have committed the treasonable offence of fighting for our enemies [like ISIS] abroad. ...
"In the wake of every Islamic massacre, politicians blather that the terrorists will not 'divide us' But the reality is because of mass immigration and [divisive] multiculturalism we ... slide towards self-imposed Muslim segregation through Sharia courts, separatist schools and fundamentalist Mosques. ... integration will provoke the usual cries of Islamophobia ... we have pandered to this kind of divisive victimhood for too long. The time for candles and cowardice is over."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express page 12 Former Guardian journalist Seumas Milne advising Jeremy Corbyn to avoid nuclear deterrent questions until after election: "A secret recording has emerged of Jeremy Corbyn's spin doctor teaching his boss how to shut down debate on Britain's nuclear deterrent. On the recording, former Guardian journalist Seumas Milne, who has been described as on the 'far left' of the Labour Party, can be heard talking to Mr Corbyn about how to find a 'form of words' to 'shut down' the outrage over the Labour leader's refusal to use Trident to defend Britain. Mr Milne told Mr Corbyn: 'We need, without looking defensive, to seal down the Trident thing so it doesn't keep intruding in the next few days. We just need a form of words to shut down the nuclear question'. ... Mr Milne, who went to top public school Winchester College, is the son of former BBC director general Alasdair Milne. Labour former minister Tom Harris claimed that Mr Corbyn chose Mr Milne 'because of his political views' not because of his skills as a communicator."
Update (9 June 2017, 4.07pm London time):
Just a quick note about results in this nuclear weapons and Brexit based election. Conservatives, despite an awfully weak election campaign (Prime Minister May refused to address crowds or go face to face with Jeremy Corbyn in a TV debate, she refused to give details of Brexit in her manifesto, and she even failed to commission and publish a full dossier on her opponent's support for terrorism groups and his employment of communists in key posts), won 318 seats and Corbyn's labour won only 261 seats, despite offering the earth and more (e.g. an increase in the £1.7 trillion national debt to pay for "free" student university tuition - which unlike Corbyn's propaganda, won't be paid for by taxing Microsoft and Google with so much Corporation Tax, since they would probably move away from Britain to a tax haven, taking thousands of jobs with them - and massive increases in NHS and other spending to appease the Marxists and communist unions which backed him). Despite this result, a resounding win for May's Conservatives, Corbyn made everyone laugh on TV this morning by claiming to have "won" the election and offering to become Prime Minister. The fact is that even if he could have made a coalition with the SNP and Liberal Democrats (who have said they won't go into coalitions again after their 2010-15 experience with Mr Cameron), Corbyn would only have had 261 + 35 + 12 = 308 seats, compared to 318 seats won outright by May. In addition she has 10 seats from the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, which has a very similar manifesto to the Conservatives (unlike the dissimilar Labour, SNP and Liberal Democrat manifestos - e.g., Labour wanted Brexit whereas the SNP and Liberal Democrats both rejected Brexit), making 318 + 10 = 328. which is over the 326 seats that are needed by one side to fully outvote the others in their combined force! The BBC Corbyn lobby made an issue out of the failure of May to increase her vote to strengthen her hand to negotiate for a hard Brexit, but the election wasn't actually about Brexit, but about Marxism. (Marxism as far as Corbyn was concerned, plus terrorism - given his exploitation of the two unpredictable and horrendous terrorist attacks during the last three weeks of the campaign. If May was guilty of anything, it was neglecting the human greed that sucks up to false Marxist promises. She underestimated the villainy of her opposition, which gave false promises for votes.)
Only last week Corbyn again made another lying speech urging a surrender to terrorism, a continuation of his anti-deterrence, anti-civil defence CND lie. The BBC has a proved, admitted history of using censorship as a device for enforcing one-sided propaganda and fake news in election "debates". They permit Corbyn to use "fake news" to dismiss criticisms with no further probing, while falsely presenting endless hate attacks on opponents of international climate communism like Trump (who opposes the fear-mongering based fascist hate attacks on anyone who questions the stupidity of spending billions on a half ass effort to halt capitalism for the alleged saving of a 0.2C increase in global temperature, when there are civil wars raging which need walls to stop, walls which are again opposed by the communists).
Stephen Pollard explained in a Daily Express article on 26 April 2017 (page 12) that Corbyn is in effect acting as a communist terrorism stooge infiltrating the Labour Party with hatred and racism: "Take his endorsement yesterday by the Communist Party ... it's no joke. We sometimes need to remind ourselves that communists are not pie-in-the-sky idealists but proponents of an ideology that leads to mass slaughter and the destruction of freedom and democracy. Communism is merely another form of totalitarianism. For every Hitler there is a Stalin. For every Idi Amin there is a Hugo Chavez. ... [Jeremy Corbyn's] presence at a celebration in 2014 of the 35th anniversary of the ayatollahs seizing power in Iran. Mr Corbyn spoke on 'the case for Iran', alongside the British representative of the Mahdi Army militia, a group which between 2004 and 2008 killed at least 70 British soldiers in Iraq. ... He has described members of the terrorist group Hamas as 'friends'. He has praised British representatives of Hezbollah, the Iranian funded terror outfit.
"And in November 2012 he hosted a meeting in Parliament with Mousa Abu Maria, a member of the banned terrorist group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad. He has attended events run by Paul Eisen, a notorious Holocaust denier. ... And he sponsored the visit to Britain of anti-Semitic hate preacher Sheikh Raed Salah. Salah says that 9/11 was a Jewish plot ... he calls Jewish people 'monkeys' and 'bacteria'. ... When the government tried to have Salah barred from Britain, Mr Corbyn described him as 'a very honoured citizen ...' ."
With another violent terrorist related bomb attack yesterday, this time in Manchester rather than Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan (where similar attacks occur regularly), it's worth re-examining the prospects for openly pro-terrorism movement supporter (but allegedly anti-violence) Jeremy Corbyn to become Prime Minister.
True screen shot taken from a video of Corbyn in the article in Business Insider linked here, which explains: "Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn accepted up to £20,000 (about $27,000) for appearances on the Iranian state broadcast network Press TV — a channel that was banned in the UK for its part in filming the detention and torture of an Iranian journalist." We're all aware that Jeremy Corbyn has employed the son of a former BBC Director General and communist Guardian newspaper journalist and Stalinist-holocaust denier, Seaumas Milne as his propaganda director. Milne began his career working for the Communist Party of Great Britain's Straight Left, and in his 16 February 2006 Guardian newspaper article, he denied Stalin's holocaust of 20,000,000-40,000,000 people due to 1930s collectivisation (3-6 times as many as Nazi 6,000,000 murders) by claiming that only the murders of political rebels recorded in the Soviet Archives should be remembered: "the real records of repression now available from the Soviet archives are horrific enough (799,455 people were recorded as executed between 1921 and 1953 and the labour camp population reached 2.5 million at its peak) without engaging in an ideologically-fuelled inflation game". This is similar to David Irving's Jewish holocaust denial stunt, relying on incomplete official records and ignoring the hard facts of the holocaust established from the other records of population decrease. The 1972 edition of The Guinness Book of Records on page 201 states that the 1936-8 purge (the Yezhovshchina) by the NKVD (later called the KGB) led to evidence in: "population statistics which show a deficiency of males from before the outbreak of the 1941-45 war" and explains that this source of data (which is so callously ignored altogether by Milne) gives 8,000,000-10,000,000 dead as a probable minimum, to which must be added the "forced labour" deaths (again omitted from all official records, but estimated from population data) of 19,000,000 murders. So Milne is just a nasty, callous holocaust denier, and on a far bigger scale than David Irving, because the true fascism of the 1939 joint invasion of Poland by the USSR and Nazis (which lasted until June 1941) is being abused for his own personal political prejudices, which Jeremy Corbyn buys into. Later editions of the Guinness Book of Records gave more detailed statistical estimate of Stalin's total murders of 40 million. Milne is not refuting the details of these estimates, just ignoring them altogether (holocaust denial). The 1990 book The great terror: a reassessment by the great Robert Conquest, who had originally exposed a glimpse of the scale of the Soviet holocaust in 1968, shows that in the early 1930s over 14 million innocent Soviet citizens were murdered and by early 1939, 5% of the entire population of the Soviet Union had been arrested, 8 million innocent people were in concentration camps and prisons, and 90% of those died (2 million had already died in Soviet camps and prisons in 1937-8, and 1 million had been shot). Milne ignores all of this evidence: Jeremy Corbyn thus employs a terrible holocaust denier. |

Above: the 1984 Jeremy Corbyn politics in support of talks with terrorists before disarming the terrorists. The IRA's 1984 slogan, "Give Ireland Peace and there will be no war," is just a copy-cat of Adolf Hitler's infamous 1938 tactics, fully explained by Genevieve Tabouis in her February 1938 Penguin books special, Blackmail or War, where she writes on page 8: "Perhaps war does not pay, but blackmail, based on the threat of war, certainly does." This is Jeremy Corbyn's shameful legacy. Everytime politicians go face to face and "negotiate" with terrorists who are violent coercive thugs and are in effect pointing a loaded gun at peace, you simply appease them and encourage more terrorism, more war! Jeremy Corbyn also showed contempt to the Jewish Chronicle by refusing the answer vital questions concerning racism. |

Update (24 May 2017):
February 1938 Penguin book by Genevieve Tabouis, Blackmail or War. |
In February 1938, a female French journalist, Genevieve Tabouis, the diplomatic editor of French newspaper l'Oeuvre, published the third Penguin special (S3), Blackmail or War, 246 page in length. The date page of my second printing shows that it was first printed in February 1938, and reprinted the same month. She warned clearly that the terrorist regime in Germany was using the threat of war to blackmail the appeasement-obsessed democracies into the defeatist policy of surrendering to racist terrorism:
"Italy had already seen during her Ethiopian adventure how prone the democracies were to yielding to blackmail of this kind. A year later, on March 7th, 1935, Germany received confirmation of it when ... she decided upon the re-militarisation of the Rhine ... Japan had set them both an example of these methods in 1932. All these victories were gained without any risk [the terrorists could have changed tactics if opposed, which didn't happen], without any fighting ... Perhaps war does not pay, but blackmail, based on the threat of war, certainly did. ... In France ... Public Opinion takes the point of view that war, which may perhaps be inevitable, would involve the utter ruin of our civilisation."
- Genevieve Tabouis, Blackmail or War, Penguin special S3, February 1938, pages 7-8.
Fear of terrorism was used, just as Tabouis warned in February 1938, against Chamberlain later that year when he flew to Germany three times to plead with a bigoted, racist terrorist, shaking his hand and obtaining his autograph on worthless paper "peace-deals". Tabouis also explains how terrorists use the propaganda tactics of internationalism and "uniting people" to start civil wars, just as terrorists use the same tactics now in bombing Britain and other countries to advance their agenda:
"In the name of 'racial science', which is simply imperialism in a new guise, he demanded that 100 million persons of German race and culture who are scattered throughout the world should be united ..."
- Genevieve Tabouis, Blackmail or War, Penguin special S3, February 1938, page 33.
This is precisely the tactic being copied today by the so-called "Islamic State" or "ISIS" terrorists when they claim to want to unite Sunni and Shia religions in a jihad against liberty and freedom. Commenting on the origins of Jeremy Corbyn's brand of extremism, Tabouis states on page 48 that support for communism, such as "the Commune of 1871 in France, can be traced to a nationalism which has been provoked beyond endurance." She notes on the same page (page 48) that fascist Mussolini turned from his communist firebrand origins into a nationalist dictator in October 1922, at roughly the same time that Hitler was trying to organise his early failed terrorist revolution.
"In France, the English have often been reproached for having welcomed fascism with the simple and short-sighted remark that every dictatorship in Europe is useful if it contributes to the maintenance of order. Such was undoubtedly Sir Austen Chamberlain's [British Foreign Minister and the half-brother of the 1938 Nazi-appeasing ideologue Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain] idea when he proceeded to Rome in 1925, at a moment when Mussolini was in considerable difficulties. The British Foreign Minister took the view that the fall of Mussolini would involve Italy in a fresh bout of anarchy and internal disturbances which would form a pretext for further unrest in Europe and would, above all, be likely to harm British commercial interests.
"Sir Austen took advantage of a summer cruise in the Mediterranean to meet the Duce [Mussolini] at Leghorn. ... The following year, Sir Austen tried to do Primo de Rivera [of Spain] the same favour by going on a cruise to Barcelona. He imagined that he was acting in the interests of order and peace, whereas both in Italy and Spain, these moves were interpreted as granting a free hand to the joint ambitions of the two Latin dictators."
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain wasn't so "naive" in the way usually described, flying to Germany to visit Hitler three times in 1938, first shaking Hitler's hand at Berchtesgaden, when a week later going to Godesberg to do the same, and finally meeting Hitler for a third time in Munich at the end of September 1938. His half-brother, Sir Austen Chamberlain, had masterminded the "let's talk to terrorists and dictators"-appeasement strategy more than a decade earlier, leading to a secure dictatorship of fascism in Italy and a Civil War in Spain. This is fact. Chamberlain wanted fascism.
The idea that Britain should have a blathering, fascist supporting Prime Minister who shakes hands with terrorists like Hitler in the name of reducing our defence budget is not a far-fetched fantasy but is a real threat, since it has happened previously.
UPDATE (26 May 2017): Jeremy Corbyn will today exploit the Manchester terrorist attack to make a ranting speech against so-called British imperialism, which he blames for the suicide attacks of 9/11
Taking offense at anti British terrorism and anti British racism: Leo McKinstry in the Daily Express, 25 May 2017, page 12. |
Jeremy Corbyn will today make a ranting speech attacking Britain for combatting the 9/11 terrorist network, blaming British "imperialist" military anti-terrorist actions, and effectively siding with the terrorist network which hates liberty and freedom, while trying to censor any disclosure of his own involvement in backing murders by terrorists!
The police will not arrest Jeremy Corbyn again, as they did in 1986 when he tried to prevent the prosecution of the terrorist Patrick Magee at the Old Bailey court in London. They will permit him to incite hatred and violence because he is politically powerful and has the backing of the Guardian and BBC.
Update (26 May 2017): Jeremy Corbyn's hate speech blaming terrorism on British opponents of terrorism
Jeremy Corbyn blames terrorist attacks such as Manchester bombing on UK foreign policy
" “It is also a dereliction of duty to allow jihadis to return to this country, including it seems, Monday night’s terrorist,” said Ukip leader Paul Nuttall."
One thing he has consistently supported is communism, addressing the 40th Annual Congress of the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1989 to attack the deterrence of terrorism as being an "obscenity" and pledging "unwavering commitment to unilateral disarmament" while standing in front of a hammer and sickle USSR flag, as reported and photographed in the communist paper, Morning Star. The 40th Annual Congress was hosted in his constituency of North Islington, a hotbed for anti-British racists and hate inciters. Corbyn supported race war, cultural war, class war and religious war as part of the USSR's "divide and rule" assault on Britain in the Cold War, and he maintains these principles.
The same page contains Leo McKinstry's article on the problem of Corbyn's Marxist shadow chancellor John McDonnell who rants in front of communist banners: in the 1970s Britain's Marxist unions controlled Labour prime minister James Callaghan, forcing endless strikes, particularly after Britain's IMF bailout when nationalised industries simply went on strike for higher pay (believing that the money should be spent on them, not used as Callaghan wanted to pay interest on Britain's debt mountain).
I remember having to repeatedly walk home from school as a young child in the dark, to a cold house - the electric heaters were off for the same reason as the street lamps - and try to do homework by candle light (when the shops hadn't sold out of candles), because of the coal strives which cut the power generators. There was one factory with lights on the the town, and they had their own small generator. That was the "joy" of Britain's flirtation with 1970s Marxism. In the 1980s, Thatcher turned to nuclear power to keep the lights on, and to prevent the coal miners holding the heavily debt ridden country to ransom. The danger is like this: nationalising everything the way Corbyn wants costs money (the government sells bonds to investors to get the cash - but the government has to promise to buy the bonds back paying extra i.e. interest, to get people to buy them).
We already have a colossal £1.7 trillion national debt, more per head than even bankrupt states like Greece. The only reason we aren't bankrupt like Greece, despite our greater debt, is that we attract lots of job-creating businesses in the competitive world by offering relatively attractive corporation tax rates, etc. Corbyn wants to raise corporation tax to get money, but we have already tried that in the 1970s and it failed: companies went away taking their money, their jobs, etc. People moved away to tax havens. Like the USSR or Greece, you end up with a reduced productive private sector, and a massively bloated state sector which is funded essentially by tax from the reduced private sector. The state sector becomes filled with union controlled workers whose main role ends up as militancy and strikes. A recipe for bankrupcy. When the debt reaches the point where investors become scared of your country's impending bankrupcy, they demand more interest or they invest elsewhere. So you pay higher interest rates on the debt mountain, which means that your main expenditure becomes debt interest. Eventually, you begin borrowing just to pay interest on existing debt. Then, even the dumbest investor runs. At that point, the country is insolvent, inflation kicks in, and the country is ruined for decades, as it was by 1979. In a good case, the country then comes to its senses and backs a return to private industry, but that leads to riots, hatred and division state jobs are lost to save money.
McKinstry ignores the 1970s episode in Britain, and gives a more recent example where Corbyn backed the 1999 Marxist revolution in Venezuela by Hugo Chavez which nationalised and taxed the country into bankrupcy: "Inflation is running at 1660 percent. Shops are empty. Riots are endemic." Corbyn welcomed this destruction of Venezuela with the Marxist blather: "Success for radical policies in Venezuela is being achieved by providing for the poorest." The problem is that democracy got Hitler elected in 1933 on false promises: Hitler's massive "national socialist" state spending for full employment was done on the back of a debt bubble that mortgaged Germany's future, and the borrowed money had ran out by 1939. War ensued. Jeremy Corbyn has recently been trying to promote a friendly image of himself by claiming he campaigned for the release of South African terrorist movement supporters, e.g. Nelson Mandela. However, at the time Corbyn was supporting all the terrorist groups like the IRA and ANC, they were killing people. It wasn't terrorism or violence that solved the problems, it was reconciliation, and that didn't result from appeasement, but from de-radicalising terrorism supporters and turning them into peaceful, reasonable people. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev, negotiating from a position of strength, not from a position of weakness.
"... it is surprising that many of our politicians ... eulogised about a mass murderer [Martin McGuinness's IRA murdered 1,778 British nationals and 162 Irish "informers"] ... Cheerleader-in-Chief - naturally - was the BBC. ... In reality, it was the death of a man who authorised murder on a staggering scale and condoned executions, torture, knee-cappings, beatings and intimidation of supposed informers ... McGuinness [by age 22] was second in command. That coincided with the Bloody Sunday protest, which was the sibject of the £200 million inquiry that concluded, amongst other findings, that McGuinness had definitely 'engaged in paramilitary activity' on the day. ... As one of the group's seven man Army Council, McGuinness would have authorised horrific terror attacks ... Yet for so many last week, he was a hero ... For Tony Blair he was 'a thoughtful, reflective and committed individual.' Blair's right-hand man Alistair Campbell called him 'a very, very warm human being and very likeable', and 'a great guy'. Even former US president Bill Clinton waxed lyrical. 'Martin was calm, courageous and direct,' he said. ...
"The unpalatable truth is this: when this killer decided to be a peacemaker, the game was up for his beloved IRA. The British Army, MI5 and the Royal Ulster Constabulary had defeated the thuggish terrorists [using raids, detentions, disarmament of the terrorists by force, anti-terrorist ambushes to deter raids, and the anti-blast "peace walls" to provide security to communities and make serious terrorist attacks harder to accomplish; all vital tactics to use against so-called "Islamic State", unlike making friends with terrorists as Jeremy Corbyn wants to do, and falsely claims was what was done in Northern Ireland]. All that was left for him was to flee to safety and secure a deal that would guarantee him immunity from any prosecutions. That so many were taken in [by BBC pro terrorist propaganda "fake news"] with his new stance simply shows their naivety. The BBC breathlessly informed us that, when he died, he was surrounded by his loved ones. How many of his victims could say the same?"

Update (3 June 2017):
The last Revolutionary Communist infiltration of Britain's Labour Party
"Even for the 1980s, when Labour was in the wilderness, his [Jeremy Corbyn's] views were extreme, as reflected in his demand for 'the overthrow of capitalism' or his support for violent Irish Republicanism. ... Corbyn is often praised for strong, unchanging convictions, but there is nothing laudable in this [honest people admit when they are wrong]. Josef Stalin, Pol Pot and Chairman Mao all had strong convictions ... Corbyn's far-left radicalism is the antithesis of liberal democracy ... like an old Soviet relic from the Cold War era. This is a man who wants us to abandon our nuclear deterrent and hand the Falkland Islands to Argentina. ... His approach is a recipe for a return to the dark, chaotic days of the 1970s when the country was wrecked by bullying unions and expensive state socialism ... Corbyn's defenders call him 'a breath of fresh air.' In truth, he represents the fetid, dying gasp of rotten Labour."
- Leo McKinstry, Daily Express, 14 September 2015, page 12.
WOODROW WYATT'S 1977 "WHAT'S LEFT OF THE LABOUR PARTY?" (MARXISM!)
Woodrow Wyatt's 1977 book, What's Left of the Labour Party? (Marxism!), reviews the infiltration tactics used by Communists to get into the Labour Party and in Trade Unions to turn them into Marxist puppets of the Soviet Union, causing Britain's descent into economic bankrupcy (requiring an IMF bailout) in the 1970's. Wyatt was a Labour MP who served as Under Secretary for War in Attlee's second government. Attlee took extreme measures to proscribe communists from taking over the Labour Party, but subsequent leaders, propped up with Marxist trade union cash, succumbed. In 1956, Wyatt warned about Communists falsifying ballots to gain control of the Electricians' Union, which funded the Labour Party. The book's jacket blurb explains the Orwellian doublethink involved clearly:
"The capturing of important official posts in the Labour Party and the trade unions by tiny, unrepresentative and malevolent minorities is called expressing the people's will. The prevention of secret postal ballots in union affairs is called protecting union members from undemocratic outside interference. Block votes wielded at Labour Party Conferences by a handful of trade union leaders who have not consulted their members, or ascertained their wishes [Corbyn wants to repeal laws forcing democracy upon trade union strike decisions, etc.], are described as the epitome of representative democracy. The selection of ultra-Left Wing Labour candidates by tiny local caucuses who have views alien to 90% of Labour voters is called acting in the people's name."
This book was published two years before the 1978-9 winter of discontent when the strikers refused to bury the dead, collect rubbish, provide coal for electric power stations, and disrupted life for millions of people. Wyatt explains on page 137 what the basic problem is: Russians were in 1977 allowed ownership of 1/3 acre, amounting to 1% of the total arable acre, the other 99% being collective state farms. The 1% of the farmland owned privately generated 33% of all Russian foodstuffs. In other words, private farming in Russia was over 30 times more efficient than collective state farms: communism was a disaster compared to private enterprise! On page 164, Wyatt recommended that the communist ridden Labour Party be sent into the wilderness for a long time to cleanse itself of toxic ideologues (something which occurred on 4 May 1979 and lasted until 1997):
"The Labour Party must have the shock of going into the wilderness for a long time - at least for two Parliaments. The Social Democrats in it would then apprehend that the tactic of appeasing the Marxists and the extreme Left Wing in order to present itself an apparently united Party to win elections has exhausted itself. ... Social Democrats do not believe that the power of the State is more powerful than the liberty of the individual. The Marxists, Trotskyists, and other extremes in the Labour Party, on the contrary, believe that the people are not competent to choose what is best for them, but must have a Socialist system imposed upon them. Hence, they are little different from outright members of the Communist Party."
Wyatt starts his book by a review of what really happened when Karl Marx, writing his evil doctrine of communist in British Library of London, turned anarchist gibberish into a religion. In 1870, five years before Marx's infamous rant, 47 anarchists issued a declaration after being arrested for an attempted uprising at Lyon: "From each according to his faculties, to each according to his needs." All that Karl Marx did in 1875 was to change the anarchist's word "facilities" to "abilities". The roots of Britain's Marxism had been laid by Chamberlain's government when it nationalised coal royalties in 1938, the idea being to safeguard the price of coal (a basic necessity) from profiteering. (Attlee later nationalised the actual coal mines.)
Conservatives also first nationalised electricity distribution in 1926 by creating the Central Electricity Board which owned the National Grid of power cables. During World War II, Churchill created Britain's "Social State" including social workers and state funded health care, which had to be set up to care for millions of children, disabled people and mothers evacuated from bombing target areas before the Blitz, and the injured and homeless in air raids. This wartime civil defence network of state hospitals and social services provided a testing ground and nucleus for Attlee's National Health Service or Welfare State of 1948, initially done on an economic, sound budget. While civil defence hating Marxists like Corbyn choose to ignore the wartime British social state, and claim that Attlee was elected in 1945 to create what was already begun (Churchill's 1945 manifesto also provided for a welfare state), the truth is that Attlee just took the credit for extending the WWII welfare system, and he was only elected because by 1945 people wanted a change after 14 years of Conservative rule.
The problems of nationalisation soon became clear: the government, as state employer for millions of health workers and other nationalised industry workers, is constantly fighting union blackmail by strikes for higher wages. Taxation to pay those wages then chokes the private industry which is paying the tax, pushing up its costs, making its exports too expensive to be competitive in the world.
While some of Attlee's nationalisation program made sense and has never been reversed (Attlee nationalised the Bank of England), much of it has later been re-privatised (sold off) in part or whole by Conservative governments (for example, water companies, telecommunications, and the railways). Corbyn wants to re-nationalise, at tremendous expense. While the wholesale nationalisation in 1960-90's Britain was defended as preventing exploitative private cartels of greedy big businesses, "state control" (aka Trade Union Marxist strike-blackmail control) had its own set of problems. Prior to the privatisation of Britain's only and state-owned telecommunications company, "Post Office Telecommunications" (which was later renamed British Telecom, or BT), my commerce teacher used to debunk the notion of private telephone companies by explaining that the idea would lead to roads being repeatedly dug up by the different companies, each to lay their own cables, while the unnecessary duplication of head offices (for all the private companies) would be inefficient compared to state control. However, sometimes the advantages of competition and consumer choice outweigh those disadvantages. The Labour Party was committed to nationalisation through the infamous communist type "Clause 4" of its constitution, which demanded "common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange".
This communist type "Clause 4" was fought bravely by the great Labour Leader Hugh Gaitskell at the 1959 Blackpool conference of the Labour Party, but he was outvoted, Labour lost the next election, and "Clause 4" for communist-type nationalising remained until 1995. Its final death in 1995 led to the landslide Labour victory in 1997, led by CND member Tony Blair, who started terrible wars instead of deterring them or defending people with a peaceful, disaster mitigating Civil Defence Corps (which Attlee had set up in 1948 but Marxist Harold Wilson had abolished in 1968).
By 1974, the Labour Party Manifesto was driven almost entirely by its Marxist Union paymasters and had an agenda virtually copied straight from Karl Marx:
"We shall introduce an annual wealth tax on the rich; bring in a new tax on major transfers of personal wealth ... To achieve far greater economic equality ... To increase social equality ... To bring about a fundamental and irreversible shift in the balance of power and wealth in favour of working people and their families."
Wyatt comments on page 103 of his 1977 book that this led to a Catch-22 that made Marxist influence dominate in the Labour Party and bankrupt the country: "All Labour Governments have begun by overspending and have been forced to draw back. Each time they have drawn back, the protests of their Left Wing have become more influential, and the cutbacks less effective. Each Labour Government leaves us with a total public spending higher than when it took office and which weighs down productive industry still further. By uneven jerks, the economy grows weaker."
The problem is that, just as the fact that 70% of immigrants today vote Labour, drives Labour to welcome excessive immigration (which drives up hospital waiting lists, house prices, rent costs, pollution, overcrowding, social deprivation, etc.) for the extra votes, the majority of state employed voters also vote Labour, which encourages Labour Governments to expand the state payroll for political vote gain, as Wyatt explains on page 101:
"The larger the government payroll can be made, the greater the voting strength of Labour. Labour is the champion of public expenditure, however wasteful. ... In June 1976 there were some 2,900,000 local government employees ... an increase of ... 1,200,000 over the figure for June 1964 ... There are some 850,000 workers in the National Health Service ... Their numbers have multiplied exceedingly without any improvement in the quality ... Add the totals employed in the Civil Service, local government and National Service ... 4,500,000. When wives and adult dependants are included, the voting figure at general elections is gigantic. By the nature of their work, none of these employees can be connected to a profit motive, or have any direct interest in whether industry does well or badly."
Wyatt points out on page 102, that reducing the number of state employees to the 1964 level would save £6 billion a year and be a terrific boost to bankrupt 1977 Britain, but it would be political suicide for the Labour Party to sack so many Labour voters, and Marxists loved making Britain bankrupt as it provided an added excuse to flog a dead horse (or kill a golden goose, if you prefer): "An added attraction to the extremist is that this wasteful expenditure entails an unnaturally high rate of taxation. It enables him to say that, in order for justice to be done, those with incomes beyond £10,000 a year or with assets beyond £50,000 should be annihilated by taxation. ... The less money the individual is allowed to keep, the less democratic an expression can he give to his wishes, and the more he becomes a slave to the State; and eventually he accepts his fate because he can see no way of escaping it." Putting that another way, it was Britain's enormous Marxist orientated state sector expansion by Harold Wilson after 1964 which caused the financial crisis of the 1970's. Thatcher had to use draconian tactics after 1979 to stabilise and begin rebuilding Britain's economy, cutting down state sector spending and thereby reducing private sector taxation back to levels that made private business profitable again.
A Gallup Poll in January 1977 showed that 54% of British people stated that the most powerful man in England was not the relatively harmless puppet Prime Minister James Callaghan, but the man who pulled his strings, the infamous Marxist Jack Jones, the General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union (which in 1977 had two million members, and a large Labour Party block vote). Wyatt explains on page 104: "According to the BBC's overseas monitoring service, Jack Jones himself said on East German radio on 26 June 1976 that he felt at home in East Germany. There is no reason to doubt him." In the same way, Jeremy Corbyn, while a vile hater of liberty in his own right, is also just a puppet on a string controlled by the big union paymasters, which effectively influence Labour. So with a Marxist Labour government, the control of the country by the Prime Minister becomes just a front for the freedom hating extremists (militant trade unionists).
Wyatt puts this clearly in the title of chapter 9 of his 1977 book: "The Marxist Minority in the Labour Party controls the Minority Labour Government", where he explains on page 104 that less than 30% of the electorate actually voted for Labour when it got 39% of votes cast and won the election in October 1974. Wyatt goes on to explain on pages 111-112 that, in accordance with General Secretary Jack Jones' love of communist East Germany, Labour's Programme for Britain 1976: "sets out the plan for creating an Eastern European style society in Britain. At the 1976 Labour Party Conference in Blackpool, care was taken to see that this plan was endorsed by a card vote ... This makes the whole document of 147 pages the confirmed and actual policy of the Labour Party. ... As an addition to this document, which was first published on 28 May 1976, Labour's National Executive ... announced the impending nationalisation of the four big banks - National Westminster, Lloyds, Barclays and Midland."
Britain was only spared turning into another East Germany by this Marxist crap because the money promptly ran out! In 1976, Callaghan had to beg the IMF (International Monetary Fund) for a bailout of $4 billion. The IMF insisted then (like Germany does now, when bailing out Greek debts) that Callaghan made severe cuts to Britain's wasteful expenditure, and this condition on the IMF loan killed off Jack Jones' dreams for forcing USSR communist system upon Britain: we didn't have the money to nationalise everything. As Thatcher put it, socialism had run out of other people's money!
"Nor should it be assumed that having achieved Labour's Programme for Britain 1976 the Marxists would be satisfied. They would go on and on until Clause 4 had been turned into a reality by State takeover ... Just as in Eastern European countries the government would make the plans for industry and order industries to carry them out, however unsuitable they may be for the economy. Strangled by regulations and inappropriate instructions, what was left of free enterprise would be bankrupted and thus could be taken over by the Marxist-dominated Labour Party at little cost, until the State owned everything, however profitless and inefficient it had become."
- Woodrow Wyatt, What's Left of the Labour Party?, Sidgwick and Jackson, London, 1977, pages 113-114.
Wyatt's analysis then becomes as bleak as Orwell's 1984. Wyatt explains on pages 122-3 how the 1976 Marxist Labour Party planned to nationalise, and bring into government control, the press (TV was already fully infiltrated by Marxists):
"The Marxists know very well that it is impossible to run a Marxist state if a free press continues to operate within it. The repression which is inseparable from a Marxist State requires that the citizen should not know the facts about what is going on in his own country or abroad. It requires that the citizen should have no place, other than in controlled Party circles, to voice any criticism of the way the country is being run.
"Isolation from fact and opinion is essential in curbing discontent and refusal to cooperate with the authorities. It is not by chance that as the Marxist influence has grown in the Labour Party, so has concern with ways, which it is hoped can be made to look respectable [e.g. clamping down on misinformation, fear mongering, enemy propaganda, or faked news], to end the freedom of the press. ...
"Hitler obligingly set out his plans in Mein Kampf but the world did not read this instructive work for fear of being bored. The Marxist extremists controlling the Labour Party have with equal frankness set out their plans. It is not witch hunting to point out the similarity of their ideas to the systems operating in Eastern Europe. It is merely recording the facts from their own published proposals. ... the Labour Government would have collapsed during 1975, 1976 and 1977 if the International Monetary Fund had not helped."
Wyatt on pages 125-6 shows why Britain was going bankrupt by examining the number of administrators in the NHS, National Health Service. In 1966 there was one administrator for 9.5 hospital beds, while ten years later in 1976 there was one administrator for every 4.8 beds. This example led to cycle of expansion and sacking of the number of administrators in hospitals: nurses and doctors would ask for administrators to free them from paperwork and allow them to spend more of their time on patients. Then a vast amount of the NHS budget would be spent on administrators, leading to cut backs on nurses and doctors. The next government would then pledge to cut the administrators, and the cycle of hiring and firing would begin all over again! (My mother, an immigrant state registered staff nurse in NHS hospitals from the start of her career in 1951 until retirement, saw endless cycles of hiring and firing of NHS administrators for political agendas. It cost a great deal of money to fire administrators due to redundancy pay-offs, and system changes. The original Matron system left the administration responsibility in the hands of a senior nurse. Efforts to cheapen the administration cost led to some tragic, irresponsible errors in paperwork, with examples of patients being given the wrong medication, or even having the wrong leg amputated.)
"It would seem unthinkable that the Marxists and Trotskyists and ultra-Left Wing fanatics should be able to foist their ideas on the British people. But in the same speech in which Callaghan welcomed Labour's Programme for Britain 1976 he said: 'I also draw the Party's attention to a new factor creeping into the Party, which I warn against - namely those elements which misuse the word 'Socialist' and who seek to infiltrate our Party and use it to their own ends. They are almost all recognisable by their jargon and their intolerance'."
- Woodrow Wyatt, What's Left of the Labour Party?, page 128.
Wyatt explained on pages 151-153 that genuine, carefully rational Marxist-fascist witch-hunting is encouraged as a fun and moral sport: "Between 1956 and 1972 the nationalised industries, despite their monopolistic position, lost £1,168,000,000. Between 1962 and 1972 the nationalised industries received over £6,500,000,000 in subsidies, with which they were still unable, overall, to make a profit. ... The idea that the nationalised industries can ever be as efficient as the private sector is a joke. While the nationalised industries paid only £81 million in taxes between 1962 and 1972, the private sector companies paid £13,729,000,000. Yet investment in the nationalised industries between 1948 and 1972 was about 1/5 of the entire total of national investment in fixed assets in the United Kingdom. ... Pouring money into the nationalised industries and getting low productivity, and inferior results, has helped to hold back rises in the standard of living which would have taken place but for nationalisation."
Wyatt also explains on page 43 the history of communist party thugs, as wolves in sheep's clothing, infiltrating Labour due to the electorate's hatred of communist (owing to the communist aggressive inhumanity of the Cold War in Eastern Europe, Korea, etc.):
"In 1950, all the Communist Party's 100 candidates were defeated, including two Communist MPs who had sat in the 1945 Parliament. This heightened the determination of the Communists to control the Labour Party by indirect means, since they would not establish themselves in Parliament under their own name. Already the Communists had been for some years the masters of the Electricians' Union, by rigging the ballots. This gave them a minor say at Labour Party conferences. They now concentrated on capturing the important Engineers' Union either through open Communists or through those who for tactical or other reasons did not disclose themselves as Communist sympathisers [likewise, communists simply took out cheap Labour Party memberships to elect Jeremy Corbyn to party leadership, and they apply for admission as TV audience members on political TV debates, claiming to be undecided, Labour or even Conservative, in order to be accepted in large numbers to falsely "represent" another party, so they can clap for Marxist causes and shout down or heckle reason]. Some of the extremists in the Parliamentary Labour Party since 1945 were actually undercover Communists, others were very close to the Communist viewpoint [this includes the whole Labour shadow Cabinet today in 2017]. ... The importance of deception to the Communists can be seen by their fury when a low-profile Communist is publicly identified as such."
Wyatt's chapter 5 is titled, "[Nye] Bevan and [Harold] Wilson find useful the Support of Marxists and Extremists", and states at pages 51-3:
"One side, led by Nye Bevan and Harold Wilson, was relying on the support of Marxists and extremists ... Accordingly, as pressures grow, the leaders of the Labour Party feel obliged to put more and more nonsense into their Party programme, in order to placate their internal enemies [an example of Irving Janis's "groupthink"]. ... After the 1952 Labour Conference, Hugh Gaitskell made a speech at Stalybridge. In it, he openly alleged that there had been distinct Communist infiltration among the delegates to the 1952 Labour Party Conference at Morecambe. He went on to say, 'It is time to end the attempt at mob rule by a group of frustrated journalists, and restore the authority and leadership of the solid, sound, sensible majority of the movement."
On page 59, Wyatt tells the sorry story of how the communists abused him for exposing communist infiltration of the Electricians' Union, in his television broadcasts about the problem:
"The Communists were still in command and retaining their hold by cooking the union elections. It was thought very disloyal of me to restore democracy to the Electricians's Union. I was expelled from the local Labour Party to which I belonged in London [the usual Communist tactic of ganging up like thugs to intimidate whistle-blowers], which recommended that I should not be allowed to stand as a Labour candidate again. Fortunately, Gaitskell, unhelped by Wilson, persuaded the National Executive to take no notice. Communists and extremists are considered all right because they are on the Left. Those who attack, expose and root them out are reprehensibly on the Right. Doing so ensured that I had no political future."
Wyatt explains the sick "CND" anti-nuclear deterrence psychology of Communist thugs on page 65:
"Productivity was never of any interest to the extremists. They would rather control men's lives in uniform misery according to their definition of the public good, than allow them to flourish freely. In 1960, the most promising cause for overthrowing the Labour leadership was that of unilateral nuclear disarmament. Many well-meaning but intellectually backward people, especially among the young, had been persuaded that their nuclear destruction was imminent. Futile protest marches, from the atomic research centre at Aldermaston to Trafalgar Square, were undertaken and were very popular at Easter. Those like Michael Foot, Barbara Castle, Tony Greenwood, and [Union boss and 1964-6 Minister for Technology in Harold Wilson's Labour Government] Frank Cousins, anxious to curry favour ... joined in the demonstrating. That they could not have been very sincere [like Tony Blair's CND membership] was evidenced by their happily taking office subsequently in Labour Governments more heavily armed with the power of nuclear destruction than any that went before them.
"Not that they were alone in their hypocrisy. Others of their comrades flaunted themselves at unilateral nuclear disarmament meetings, and later satisfied themselves that their consciences were in order when they received and accepted the call to office. Judith Hart, Peter Shore, and others all thought their passionate support for unilateral nuclear disarmament was of secondary importance to ministerial position."
Famously, at the 1957 Labour Party Conference where anti-nuclear deterrence hatred had culminated in a motion for unilateral nuclear disarmament, Bevan responded that such a stupid, defeatist policy would send Britain's Foreign Secretary naked into the conference chamber. But the nuclear haters persisted when Bevan died in July 1960, and union boss Frank Cousins denounced Hugh Gaitskell's pro-nuclear deterrent views as contrary to Socialism. This eventually reached a head in the 1983 and 1987 general elections, where Labour was led to defeat, respectively, by anti-nuclear Michael Foot and by anti-nuclear Neil Kinnock. Woodrow Wyatt shows that income tax levels reached 83% in 1975, and on page 133 he explains how the British communist nuclear disarmament plan to allow blackmail or invasion by Russian communists fitted into the taxation plan to create slaves in a dictatorship:
"all taxation is a limitation of an individual's rights to deal as he wishes with the money he has earned or accumulated. All taxation carried beyond a certain point must diminish the will, by effort and ingenuity, to earn more. ... Slowly we have grown to accept the view that none of our money is our own, that the State owns all of it and is graciously pleased to allow us to spend an ever-smaller part of it. We are grateful for tax reliefs, as though they were a present, instead of a diminution in the amount confiscated. ... the greater the taxation, the less the liberty. Not only is the taxpayer made more dependent on the State, but he has less freedom of choice as to what to do with his money. The decisions are increasingly removed from him, inducing a servile state of mind."
Wyatt's final chapter 12, "What is to be done?" at page 165 offers brilliant advice that is fully applicable today to sort out Marxist Jeremy Corbyn's divided Labour Party:
"The real home for the Marxists and their allies is in a separate Communist Party in which they could openly declare their true beliefs instead of dissembling about them as they do today. ... A prerequisite is a landslide, or massive, victory for the Conservatives at the next election. A narrow anti-Labour majority would not destroy the extreme Left Wingers. It would stimulate them to argue more fiercely that the reason Labour lost was because the manifesto was not Socialist enough."

Update: 6 June 2017, some good news at last after the recent terrorist attacks
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express (page 7): martial arts expert, kick boxer and journalist Geoff Ho of the Sunday Express bravely fought the London terrorists in the 3 June 2017 attack, and this story is useful because it proves that something can be done against this low-technology (truck hit-and-run followed by knife attack) terrorism:
"Geoff had been watching the Champions League final in the bar with friends. He quickly saw what was happening and stepped in to try and stop them killing people, but they stabbed him. He is a hero, and we are all praying for his speedy recovery."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express page 8 on need for fighting extremists not merely appeasing or paying them off with fine words. Col Richard Kemp, Former Chairman of the government's Cobra Intelligence Group states: "We must confront this violent challenge to our way of life with the same defiance as our fathers met Nazi aggression ... the spirit of ordinary citizens who ran at the terrorists, hurling missiles at them to save their fellow Londoners. It is the fighting spirit that we must all adopt, not candles, illuminations, teddy bears and group hugs. The gloves must come off ... The threat these enemies pose to the lives of our people morally outweighs any risk to their own human rights. ... One of the greatest dangers is from people from this country who have fought with the Islamic State in Iraq, Syria or elsewhere. They have been bloodied in battle and involved in mass murder, torture and rape. That makes it easy for them to kill again and they are trained, motivated and under orders ... Four hundred have already returned ... we must destroy the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Our action against IS has been feeble, allowing them to direct attacks worldwide including in the UK."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express (page 9) Corbyn now accepts - far too late - laws against terrorists, although he arrogantly opposed every anti-terror law since 1983, boasting in 2011: "I've been involved in opposing anti-terror legislation ever since I first went into Parliament in 1983."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express (page 2) Editorial endorses Donald Trump's criticism of politically correct crap from British politicians regarding terrorism: "Being hung, drawn and quartered is nothing more than they deserve after throwing men off tall buildings just for being gay, lowering people in cages into swimming pools to drown them, cruelly stoning victims to death and now causing havoc on our streets. How dare they. Donald Trump ridicules our politicians for being politically correct [the old Chamberlain problem of shaking hands with terrorists] in our reaction to these outrages. He is right."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express page 16 Leo McKinstry explains how the standard response of appeasing pro jihadi unity is precisely what terrorists expect and want: "Every new act of Islamic terrorism is now followed by the same ritual ... they are dangerous because they rob us of the ability to defend ourselves and retaliate against our enemies. ... We are being groomed to accept Islamic terrorism in the UK as normal. The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan even said that these atrocities are 'part and parcel' of modern urban life. That is the attitude that runs through the establishment. ... In 1940 there was a genuine sense of unity, forged by a shared national identity. Just as importantly, Winston Churchill's government starkly spelt out the nature of the threat ... and took heroic action against it. There has been little such defiance from the British state against militant Islam. As Theresa May admitted yesterday, there has been 'far too much tolerance of extremism in our country'. ... 23,000 jihadi fanatics in Britain .... at least 500 Islamist plots. MI5 has only 4,000 officers ... Internment without trial, controversially used in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s, has an ugly history, but it might be a necessary emergency measure. The government also needs to ... [be] excluding Muslims who have committed the treasonable offence of fighting for our enemies [like ISIS] abroad. ...
"In the wake of every Islamic massacre, politicians blather that the terrorists will not 'divide us' But the reality is because of mass immigration and [divisive] multiculturalism we ... slide towards self-imposed Muslim segregation through Sharia courts, separatist schools and fundamentalist Mosques. ... integration will provoke the usual cries of Islamophobia ... we have pandered to this kind of divisive victimhood for too long. The time for candles and cowardice is over."
Above: 5 June 2017 Daily Express page 12 Former Guardian journalist Seumas Milne advising Jeremy Corbyn to avoid nuclear deterrent questions until after election: "A secret recording has emerged of Jeremy Corbyn's spin doctor teaching his boss how to shut down debate on Britain's nuclear deterrent. On the recording, former Guardian journalist Seumas Milne, who has been described as on the 'far left' of the Labour Party, can be heard talking to Mr Corbyn about how to find a 'form of words' to 'shut down' the outrage over the Labour leader's refusal to use Trident to defend Britain. Mr Milne told Mr Corbyn: 'We need, without looking defensive, to seal down the Trident thing so it doesn't keep intruding in the next few days. We just need a form of words to shut down the nuclear question'. ... Mr Milne, who went to top public school Winchester College, is the son of former BBC director general Alasdair Milne. Labour former minister Tom Harris claimed that Mr Corbyn chose Mr Milne 'because of his political views' not because of his skills as a communicator."
Update (9 June 2017, 4.07pm London time):
Just a quick note about results in this nuclear weapons and Brexit based election. Conservatives, despite an awfully weak election campaign (Prime Minister May refused to address crowds or go face to face with Jeremy Corbyn in a TV debate, she refused to give details of Brexit in her manifesto, and she even failed to commission and publish a full dossier on her opponent's support for terrorism groups and his employment of communists in key posts), won 318 seats and Corbyn's labour won only 261 seats, despite offering the earth and more (e.g. an increase in the £1.7 trillion national debt to pay for "free" student university tuition - which unlike Corbyn's propaganda, won't be paid for by taxing Microsoft and Google with so much Corporation Tax, since they would probably move away from Britain to a tax haven, taking thousands of jobs with them - and massive increases in NHS and other spending to appease the Marxists and communist unions which backed him). Despite this result, a resounding win for May's Conservatives, Corbyn made everyone laugh on TV this morning by claiming to have "won" the election and offering to become Prime Minister. The fact is that even if he could have made a coalition with the SNP and Liberal Democrats (who have said they won't go into coalitions again after their 2010-15 experience with Mr Cameron), Corbyn would only have had 261 + 35 + 12 = 308 seats, compared to 318 seats won outright by May. In addition she has 10 seats from the Democratic Unionist Party of Northern Ireland, which has a very similar manifesto to the Conservatives (unlike the dissimilar Labour, SNP and Liberal Democrat manifestos - e.g., Labour wanted Brexit whereas the SNP and Liberal Democrats both rejected Brexit), making 318 + 10 = 328. which is over the 326 seats that are needed by one side to fully outvote the others in their combined force! The BBC Corbyn lobby made an issue out of the failure of May to increase her vote to strengthen her hand to negotiate for a hard Brexit, but the election wasn't actually about Brexit, but about Marxism. (Marxism as far as Corbyn was concerned, plus terrorism - given his exploitation of the two unpredictable and horrendous terrorist attacks during the last three weeks of the campaign. If May was guilty of anything, it was neglecting the human greed that sucks up to false Marxist promises. She underestimated the villainy of her opposition, which gave false promises for votes.)

Nigel:
You have failed to explain Jeremy Corbyn's rationale for supporting terrorists.
1. Jeremy Corbyn defines criminals and terrorists as being "victims themselves".
2. Jeremy Corbyn then "shows solidarity with victims (criminals and terrorists)."
What annoys me is that the TV "news media", e.g. the BBC, endlessly restates allegations about Trump that he is trying to avoid world war 3 by making business with RUSSIA, which has thousands of nuclear warheads, yet it refuses to probe Jeremy Corbyn's terrorist connections.
It's so biased that it's effectively supporting a racist, fascist bigot who lies about civil defence. There is a guy at Harvard University who publishes deceptive nuclear weapons effects data that was discredited on this blog years ago, and also a ranting hate attack about Richard Feynman, but he's a relatively nice guy when compared to the kind of absolutely horrible people in England who are supporting fascism today.
God help the world if he is elected Prime Minister on 8 June 2017. There have been quite a few surprise election results lately, so we really don't know what will happen in the election. If the recent so-called "Islamic State" bombings lead to some retaliation attacks on the community which supported the terrorists, then Corbyn might be elected Prime Minister by promising to win a Nobel Peace Prize, walk on water, resurrect the dead, etc.
The future is unpredictable, so I think we should be prepared for every possibility.
I also hope that the MI5 files on Jeremy Corbyn's terrorist links are fully declassified and published BEFORE voting day, so democracy can be informed as fully as possible. See the following news, published on 19 May 2017 about Corbyn, MI5, and terrorism:

Exclusive: MI5 opened file on Jeremy Corbyn amid concerns over his IRA links
Claire Newell Hayley Dixon Luke Heighton Harry Yorke, online education editor
19 MAY 2017 • 9:00PM
MI5 opened a file on Jeremy Corbyn amid concerns over his links to the IRA, The Telegraph has discovered.
The Labour leader was investigated over fears that he could have been a threat to national security at a time when he was supporting convicted terrorists and campaigning for a unified Ireland.
The revelations come as a Telegraph investigation reveals Mr Corbyn’s full links to the IRA, including his support for one of the Balcombe Street gang who waged a 14-month bombing campaign across south-east England, and his links to the bomb maker believed to have been behind the Hyde Park and Regent's Park devices.
Mr Corbyn also shared a platform with a wanted IRA killer and John McDonnell, his shadow Chancellor, claimed that the pair of them used to “pin people against the wall” in the House of Commons to lobby them on behalf of Ireland.
It was against the background of his support for the Republican cause that MI5 began looking into Mr Corbyn’s activities, and a source close to the investigation confirmed that a file had been opened on him by the early Nineties.
The source told The Telegraph: "If there was a file on someone, it meant they had come to notice. We opened a temporary file and did a preliminary investigation. It was then decided whether we should open a permanent file on them".
A file would be opened on "someone who sympathises with a certain group, or is friends with a specific person" and the purpose was to “assess whether the person was a threat", the source added.
The Metropolitan Police Special Branch was also monitoring the future Labour leader at around the same time, but it is unclear if the intelligence was shared.
Peter Francis, the undercover officer turned whistle-blower, has revealed that the force secretly compiled files on Mr Corbyn and nine other MPs which detailed their political beliefs, personal background and any demonstrations that they attended.
He was personally asked to collect information on the Islington North MP as he infiltrated anti-racist groups in the Nineties, he said.
The Conservative peer Lord Tebbit said: “I think it just marks him out as what he clearly is: a hard-Left, Marxist, terrorist sympathiser. It leaves him very comfortable in the company of McDonnell, who, as we know, said that they will gain power not through Parliament but on the streets and the picket lines.”
It's worth remembering that the IRA were behind the 3,300 lb bombing of Manchester's Arndale shopping centre causing 200 casualties on 15 June 1996, long after Corbyn had been associated with IRA terrorists.
It's also worth bring up the fact that the IRA killed two children with a bomb in Warrington, England, on 20 March 1993.
On the topic of Corbyn's switch from IRA terrorism to support for so-called Islamic bombers (calling Hamas, Hezbollah "friends" and accepting money from an Iranian TV show that is banned in the UK because it used torture tactics), it's worth remembering that 52 people were murdered by by four suicide bombers in London on 7 July 2005.
I know that a lot of Corbyn's supporters don't want to think about the connection of Corbyn to terrorism, but I think the public deserves to be fully informed about what is going on.

Growing row over Jeremy Corbyn's links to the IRA as he refuses five times to condemn the militant group
Kate McCann, senior political correspondent
21 MAY 2017 • 10:00PM
Jeremy Corbyn's links to the IRA were at the centre of a growing row after he repeatedly refused to condemn the actions of Republican terrorists.
The Labour leader was asked five times to denounce the IRA yesterday but chose instead to state his opposition to "all bombing".
When asked if he could unequivocally condemn the IRA, Mr Corbyn said: " No, I think what you have to say is all bombing has to be condemned."
It can also be revealed that Mr Corbyn was heavily involved with London Labour Briefing - a hard-left magazine which celebrated the Brighton bomb and joked about the death of Conservative MPs.
Evidence emerged yesterday that Mr Corbyn was involved in the magazine, which praised the bomb designed to kill Margaret Thatcher in an article that read: "The British only sit up and take notice [of Ireland] when they are bombed into it" and "What do you call four dead Tories? A start".
On Saturday the Daily Telegraph revealed that MI5 had opened a file on Mr Corbyn amid concern over his links to the IRA.
Yesterday his refusal to distance himself from the terror organisation, coupled with the revelation that he was linked to London Labour Briefing, drew criticism from veterans, rivals and Labour candidates who fear it will distract from the party's message to voters.
Alan Barry, the co-founder of Justice for Northern Ireland Veterans, called the Labour leader an "odious individual" while the security minister Ben Wallace, who saw service in the country, said Mr Corbyn "has spent a lifetime siding with Britain’s enemies."
What is most chilling of the news reports I linked to in this blog post is the fascist-type refusal of Corbyn's racist ideologues movement, called Momentum, to even bother to answer questions or respond to critics (if they do that in Government, we're totally done-in-for):
http://uk.businessinsider.com/jeremy-corbyn-paid-iran-press-tv-tortured-journalist-2016-6
Jeremy Corbyn was paid by an Iranian state TV station that was complicit in the forced confession of a tortured journalist
Adam Payne
Jul. 2, 2016, 12:09 PM 65,331
Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn accepted up to £20,000 (about $27,000) for appearances on the Iranian state broadcast network Press TV — a channel that was banned in the UK for its part in filming the detention and torture of an Iranian journalist.
Corbyn was paid for appearances on Press TV five times between 2009 and 2012, according to his register of interests, available at this online House of Commons database.
Corbyn's final Press TV appearance was six months after the network had its broadcasting license revoked by Ofcom for airing a forced confession by Newsweek journalist Maziar Bahari. Ofcom is the government's TV regulatory body which sets rules for UK broadcasters. Bahari told Business Insider that while he was detained by Iranian authorities he was tortured and threatened with execution before he agreed to read out a pre-agreed script on Iranian television, filmed by Press TV.
A spokesperson for Corbyn told Business Insider, "We don't comment on historical matters." [EMPHASIS ADDED!]
... During the period between the year of Corbyn's first appearance and his last, for example, Iran hanged at least 1,314 people, according to Amnesty International. It is a place where the rights of women, LGBT people, and religious and ethnic minorities are harshly curtailed. In 2011, the year of Corbyn's third appearance, three Iranian men were executed for homosexuality. An Amnesty International report released last year said that Sunni Muslims and Kurdish political prisoners have been executed for bringing "corruption" to the world.
NC: Well at least we know what "human rights", "peace", "liberalism", "compassion", and "freedom" mean in Corbyn's Orwellian Doublethink Dictionary. When he - and all his pseudo-liberal friends in Brussels, the lawyers of the East Coast of the USA, and also in the terrorist-backing enclaves of his fan base - claim to be supporting human rights, peace, liberalism etc., they're up to the same propaganda tricks as the USSR gulag torture system. What they mean by "peace" is war. What they mean by "liberalism" is torture. What they mean by "human rights" is hatred towards the innocent. What they mean by "compassion" is standing shoulder to shoulder with a terrorist who has murdered innocent human beings.
Note by author of this blog post: I just want to respond to some rants I've heard from some of my "friends" who claim that Jeremy Corbyn and CND are bona fide "people of principle".
What "principle"? The principle of bombing innocent people? The principle of torture? The principle of refusing to admit to making mistakes? The principle of bigotry? The principle of intolerance to justified criticisms? The principle of fascism? What bloody principle? Tell me what "principle" you are claiming Jeremy Corbyn to be a a person of, for a start! Hitler was claimed to be a "man of principle" such as a "peacemaker" and a hater of Jews. That doesn't prove Jeremy Corbyn to be right. It's plainly gibberish, waffle, hogwash, lies.
Next, some friends have assumed my "politics" is the opposite of Jeremy Corbyn's. Again, what "politics"? I've repeatedly explained on this blog for years that party politics is no substitute for genuine democracy, which is (as in Ancient Greece where "democracy" originated) referendums on individual issues, not a once-every-five-years selection of a party with a collection of various "policies", some of which you agree with and some of which you don't. For the record, "borrowing you way out of debt" socialism party politics have proved failures in practice, because they have led to bankrupcy and misery every time.
For thugs who are obsessed with petty party politics, here's something you thugs will enjoy reading: a GUARDIAN left wing (pro Corbyn) article about current Prime Minister Theresa May - who as Home Secretary in Cameron's government struggled for years against the lawyers of the European Union's fascist EUROPEAN COURT OF "HUMAN RIGHTS" to deport terrorism preacher Abu Hamza, who was incited terrorists to murder innocent people:

UK must leave European convention on human rights, says Theresa May
Critics condemn home secretary’s remarks, which put her on collision course with cabinet colleagues
Anushka Asthana and Rowena Mason
Monday 25 April 2016 19.54 BST First published on Monday 25 April 2016 12.30 BST
Britain should withdraw from the European convention on human rights regardless of the EU referendum result, Theresa May has said, in comments that contradict ministers within her own government.
The shadow justice secretary, Charles Falconer, said he was appalled by the home secretary’s comments, which he described as “so ignorant, so illiberal, so misguided”, while the Tory MP and former attorney general Dominic Grieve said he was disappointed by the intervention.
May used a speech in central London to argue that it was the convention, rather than the EU, that had caused the extradition of extremist Abu Hamza to be delayed for years and that had almost stopped the deportation of Abu Qatada.
“The ECHR can bind the hands of parliament, adds nothing to our prosperity, makes us less secure by preventing the deportation of dangerous foreign nationals – and does nothing to change the attitudes of governments like Russia’s when it comes to human rights,” she said.
“So regardless of the EU referendum, my view is this: if we want to reform human rights laws in this country, it isn’t the EU we should leave but the ECHR and the jurisdiction of its court.”
So that's something for you to cherish, from your pseudo-liberal fascist newspaper writers. Cheers.

Seumas Milne will finish Labour off
Milne is an apologist for terror, and wrong on almost everything
Seumas Milne is Jeremy Corbyn's new communications chief
By Kate Godfrey
6:09PM BST 23 Oct 2015
I am Labour through and through. Yet over the last couple of days, thousands of people have told me that I should leave the party. What did I do to attract such attention? What was it I did that made people so angry?
I wrote something. Not an article, so much as a raggedly little statement of feeling that just happened to be shared by thousands. A statement of disappointment and of anger that Jeremy Corbyn has appointed as his key adviser a one-time Stalinist called Seumas Milne. And I stand by it. I hold no brief for Milne. It kills me that Labour does. I think Milne is an apologist for terror, and will always be an apologist for terror. I think that he never met a truth he didn’t dismiss as an orthodoxy and that nowhere in his far-Left polemic are actual people represented.

Jeremy Corbyn appoints top advisor who once defended terrorism
Seumas Milne, a left-wing journalist who commissioned articles by Osama bin Laden, is the Labour leader's new communications chief
Seumas Milne is Jeremy Corbyn's new communications chief
By Kate McCann, Senior Political Correspondent
7:12PM BST 20 Oct 2015
Jeremy Corbyn has appointed a senior aide who defended terrorists and praised the "armed resistance" which killed British soldiers in Iraq.
Seumas Milne, who is Mr Corbyn's new Executive Director of Strategy and Communications, spoke of the so-called "resistance movement" and its success at forcing "occupation troops" out of Iraqi cities in an article in 2004.
He wrote: "The resistance war can of course be cruel, but the innocent deaths it has been responsible for pale next to the toll inflicted by the occupiers", adding that armed terror groups were responsible for "Iraq's real war of liberation".
It followed his claim that Americans "can't see why they're hated", written just two days after terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers killing almost 3,000 people.
The left-wing Guardian commentator is understood to have resolved talks about his contract with the party, which had been ongoing for weeks.
A senior Labour source said that there has been opposition to the appointment from top party bosses, amid concerns that Mr Milne will be "difficult to control".
A party spokesman confirmed the appointment on Tuesday, adding: "Seumas joins the Labour Leader’s office on leave from the Guardian where he is a columnist and associate editor. He will take up his position on 26th October 2015".
The former Comment editor of the Guardian between 2001 and 2007 once gave a byline to terrorist Osama Bin Laden by reproducing text from a taped speech on the newspaper's website.
Osama Bin Laden was given a byline on the Guardian website by Milne Photo: AP
And in a post Mr Milne wrote on September 13 2001, just two days after the 9/11 terror attacks he said: "Shock, rage and grief there has been aplenty.
"But any glimmer of recognition of why people might have been driven to carry out such atrocities, sacrificing their own lives in the process - or why the United States is hated with such bitterness, not only in Arab and Muslim countries, but across the developing world - seems almost entirely absent.
"Perhaps it is too much to hope that, as rescue workers struggle to pull firefighters from the rubble, any but a small minority might make the connection between what has been visited upon them and what their government has visited upon large parts of the world."
He added: "If it turns out that Tuesday's attacks were the work of Osama bin Laden's supporters, the sense that the Americans are once again reaping a dragons' teeth harvest they themselves sowed will be overwhelming."
… In another article from 2014 titled "A real counterweight to US power is a global necessity", the left-wing columnist appeared to praise Russia's intervention in Ukraine as a check on US global power….
In a further post Mr Milne claimed soldier Lee Rigby's death wasn't "terrorism in the normal sense" because Mr Rigby had been a member of the armed forces.
He wrote: "Rigby was a British soldier who had taken part in multiple combat operations in Afghanistan. So the attack wasn't terrorism in the normal sense of an indiscriminate attack on civilians."
Stalinist Seaumas Milne also lies about Stalin's role in motivating Hitler to invade Poland in September 1939 by Stalin's agreement with Hitler to jointly invade Poland (Hitler did not take the decision to start WWII by invading Poland without Stalin's help):
"Nor did the Soviet Union launch the most bloody and destructive war in human history..."
- Seaumas Milne, "The Revenge of History", page 41.
This is of course a complete lie, but it is maintained by Stalinist "educationists" in Russian textbooks! The truth is, Stalin and Hitler both invaded Poland in September 1939, Hitler invading Poland from the West, and Stalin invading Poland from the East. It was the comradeship of Stalin which led Hitler to his biggest evil, under the terms of the August 1939 German-Soviet Pact. Milne ignores this truth, because it doesn't fit in with his lie.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland
Soviet invasion of Poland
The Soviet invasion of Poland was a Soviet military operation that started without a formal declaration of war on 17 September 1939. On that morning, 16 days after Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the west, the Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east. The invasion and battle lasted for the following 20 days and ended on 6 October 1939 with the two-way division and annexation of the entire territory of the Second Polish Republic by both Germany and the Soviet Union.[7] The joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland was secretly agreed in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, signed on 23 August 1939.[8]
The Red Army, which vastly outnumbered the Polish defenders, achieved its targets by using strategic and tactical deception. Some 230,000 Polish prisoners of war had been captured.[4][9] The campaign of mass persecution in the newly acquired areas began immediately. In November 1939 the Soviet government ostensibly annexed the entire Polish territory under its control. Some 13.5 million Polish citizens who fell under the military occupation were made into new Soviet subjects following mock elections conducted by the NKVD secret police in the atmosphere of terror,[10][11] the results of which were used to legitimize the use of force. The Soviet campaign of ethnic cleansing began with the wave of arrests and summary executions of officers, policemen and priests.[Note 5][12][13] Over the next year and a half, the Soviet NKVD sent hundreds of thousands of people from eastern Poland to Siberia and other remote parts of the Soviet Union in four major waves of deportation between 1939 and 1941.[Note 6]
At least one of the 1980s terrorist supporters in Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet now seems to be partly listening to criticism, and while failing to apologise for backing terrorism, claims to have "moved on" (presumably moved on from supporting the IRA to supporting ISIS):

"Diane Abbott has tried to distance herself from claims she supported the IRA by suggesting both her hairstyles and views have changed over the years.
"The shadow home secretary said she had "moved on" from remarks she made in the 1980s when she declared her support for the IRA and claimed "every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us"."

I'd like to add this about the complacent lying on nuclear weapons, civil defence, and peacemaking by Jeremy Corbyn:
It is the fault of the present government's obsession with secrecy, keeping the facts out of the public domain. Large sections of the public then believe in the lying Marxist claims about Reagan's W79 truly invasion-deterring tactical nuclear weapons, and civil defence to reduce the collateral damage from explosions and gas/contamination being "useless" and incapable of deterring threats like Saddam's gas and missiles in 2002, so we end up with the secrecy playing into the hands of Corbyn and his loud mouthed "peace protestor" CND fanbase.
The Conservatives motto on countering CND propaganda about deterrence and civil defence is basically: "Quoque paulo nimium sero". Too little, too late. In 1986, about 7 years too late, they tried to counter the Brezhnev era propaganda by funding publication of Paul Mercer's brilliant book, "Peace of the Dead", but it was too late then, and it's still ignored now. While Conservatives spend time doing detailed research, they keep it confidential and private for too long, and then they pay the price politically, because the quick-and-easy lies and falsehood slogans issued by CND have been unopposed for too long.
By that time, the TV screens are filled with "peace protest marches" by Communist Party of Great Britain flag waving "CND supporters" and thousands of innocent people who have been terrorised by CND propaganda into showing solidarity with Stalinist haters of democracy.
The arguments for using Belfast style "peace walls" to stop terrorist attacks, with proper civil defence in actual war zones - evacuation of innocent civilians from war targets, emergency feeding and emergency shelter against collateral damage from war - and nuclear deterrence to prevent or stop further I.S. invasions in the Middle East and North Africa, are:
1/ Refugees streaming into Europe as a result of the various insurgencies and civil wars because insufficient help is being done either to stop the wars or to help refugees. We cannot turn a blind eye to victims of violence or to the refugees streaming into Europe from the wars and terrorism. (The refugee problem is welcomed by Jeremy Corbyn's Marxist Labour Party because a majority of them are Muslim and his anti Jewish stance is supposed to turn them into future Marxist Labour Party supporters. The refugees will continue to stream into Britain from the EU at least until Britain's exit from the EU in two years time, probably longer if the exit process is extended or if free movement is retained due to trade blackmail from the EU against a pathetically enfeebled Marxist dominated British government, which will occur if Corbyn does well in the election and forms a coalition government with the pseudo-Liberal Democrats.)
2/ Alternatives to "peace walls" to stop terrorists (as used successfully in Israel and Northern Ireland), low-yield air burst tactical nuclear deterrence (as used successfully by Kennedy and Reagan against the Cold War's Warsaw Pact), and civil defence evacuation, sheltering, and emergency feeding, have all failed miserably.
3/ Efforts to bomb dictators and insurgents into submission failed in Vietnam, they failed in Afghanistan and Iraq, and so far they have failed in Syria. Even with troops on the ground, it is not possible really to "win" a war against their mindset. Every bomb dropped on them is portrayed by the propaganda as interference by Imperialist Christian Crusaders.
4/ The paucity of options means that sooner or later the ancient tactics of building walls around vital cities to help resist invasions, the use of credible deterrence to deter invasions, and the use of civil defence to ensure that deterrence is credible by protecting civilians against the collateral damage of war, will be needed if the wars are to end.
5/ There are six million displaced refugees within Syria alone. There are more in the civil war in Yemen and across large areas in Northern Africa, where various terrorist groups and insurgencies are engaged in conflict.
Writing in the Daily Express on 8 April 2017 (page 14), Ross Clark states that due to escalation risks we can't actually go very far in bombing the Russian air bases or Russian military advisers who are supporting the dictator Assad or the Iranians, or we could end up with a world war, so that really leaves us with just options like building walls, providing gas masks, shelters, emergency feeding and other related civil defence to prevent a refugee crisis worsening, and deterring further invasions and expansion of I.S. controlled areas:
"However much we might disapprove of Putin it cannot be ignored that he leads a powerful, nuclear-armed nation with the ability to overrun Eastern Europe. Anything that risks war against Russia cannot be contemplated. ... But if we turn a blind eye to dictators who crush their own people the outcome is no better. All we do is encourage other dictators. ... We should follow it up [Trump's strike on Assad's sarin nerve gas aircraft base] by increasing our efforts to help Syrian refugees, not least the six million displaced within their own country. We should also examine the possibility of establishing safe havens [i.e. walled cities, protected from air strikes by ground to air missile systems] inside Syria."
Just a reminder: Britain's current national debt of £1.7 trillion is currently costing the UK £49 billion a year in interest repayments, more than the UK defence budget. That is at a very low interest rate of 2.9%, due to the AA credit rating of the UK. With Marxist Corbyn spending like crazy to re-nationalise railways, water companies, etc., the debt will get higher, and the credit rating will be downgraded, forcing an increase in the interest rates. The base interest rate has been as high as 15% in 1988-9 and 17% in the disastrous winter of discontent of 1978-9 (just before Thatcher was elected on 4 May 1979). Such interest rates would increase UK interest payments by more than a factor of 5, from £49 billion a year to £250 billion or more. The entire UK government tax revenue last year was £744 billion, and we're currently spending £68 billion more than that (the deficit). The BBC TV news folk repeatedly allow Marxists to falsely claim that the £68 billion deficit (the acceleration of the debt) is the £1.7 trillion national debt, obfuscating the problem.
I'd also like to draw attention to additional details supporting events that I briefly mentioned in the blog post itself:
On Monday 24 April 2017, the Communist Party of Great Britain issued the following historic statement, withdrawing all communist party candidates from the forthcoming 8 June 2017 general election for the first time since the 1920s:
"Our members will be campaigning for a Labour victory as the essential first step towards the formation of a Left-led government at Westminster."
These people are hardened ideologues who are experts at subtly infiltrating the system unseen to sabotage and undermine true democratic debate with fake news and fear-mongering. It is difficult to state how easy it is to underestimate the potency of their propaganda. There is a severe danger that the real democrats will be undermined by communists and their fellow travellers, disguised as democrats. Wolves in sheep's clothing. The communists will not campaign under the hammer and sickle. They will move under false flags. Never underestimate this vicious, hypocritical, demonic enemy:
"We sometimes need to remind ourselves that communists are not pie-in-the-sky idealists but proponents of an ideology that leads to mass slaughter and the destruction of freedom and democracy. Communism is merely another form of totalitarianism. For every Hitler there is a Stalin. For every Idi Amin there is a Hugo Chavez. ... at a celebration in 2014 of the 35th anniversary of the Ayatollah's seizing power in Iran ... Corbyn spoke on 'the case for Iran', alongside the British representative of Mahdi Army militia, a group which between 2004-8 killed at least 70 British soldiers in Iraq. ... in November 2012 he [Corbyn] hosted a meeting in Parliament with Mousa Abu Maria, a member of the banned terrorist group Palestiiian Islamic Jihad. He [Corbyn] has attended events run by Paul Eisen, a notorious Holocaust denier. ... And he sponsored the visit to Britain of anti-semitic hate preacher Sheikh Raed Salah. Salah says that 9/11 was a Jewish plot ... he calls Jewish people 'monkeys' and 'bacteria'. ... When the government tried to have Salah banned from Britain, Mr Corbyn described him as 'a very honoured citizen who represents his people very well' ..."

By STEPHEN POLLARD
PUBLISHED: 07:37, Sat, Jun 3, 2017 | UPDATED: 10:52, Sat, Jun 3, 2017
MOST of the focus on Labour has been on Jeremy Corbyn. A man who has hailed terrorists as “friends”, who stood in silence to commemorate IRA murderers and who lays wreaths at the graves of the Munich Olympic terrorists has no business being in Parliament, let alone Downing Street. But the people underneath him should also concern us: the likes of John McDonnell, Diane Abbott and Emily Thornberry. ...
Ms Thornberry, who has been turned from a nonentity into shadow foreign secretary solely because the able Labour MPs have refused to serve in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet, was sacked by Ed Miliband for a sneering tweet of a home draped with a England flag.
... Mr McDonnell would have a far worse fate in mind. On May Day he spoke in front of banners of Syrian President Assad’s Baath Party and the hammer and sickle of a Stalinist faction of the Communist Party. Mr McDonnell says: “You can’t change the world through the parliamentary system.” In 2006 he made clear that his membership of the Labour Party has only ever been “a tactic” to advance his ideology of revolutionary socialism. So it should surprise no one that in 2012 he praised rioters who two years before had been arrested for “kicking the s*** out of Milbank” as “the best of our movement”. ...
Then there’s Mr Corbyn’s ex, Diane Abbott. In 1984, as a Labour councillor, she said: “Though I was born here in London I couldn’t identify as British.” In the same interview she said that the Irish struggle “is our struggle – every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.” And Ms Abbott was caught out not having a clue how much a Labour pledge would cost. Speaking to Nick Ferrari about the cost of 10,000 new police officers she first claimed it would cost £300,000 – £30 per police officer. Then she said: “Haha, no. I mean... sorry. They will cost... they will, it will cost, erm, about... about £80million.” When it was pointed out this would mean an annual salary of £8,000 she got even more confused. ...
The May 2017 Manchester bomber's mother is a nuclear scientist. The "idea" of Corbyn that "education" can combat terrorism is pathetic, because it is debunked by the hard facts:
"Peddling their narrative of Muslim victimhood they continually make excuses for the jihadists and pin the blame for terrorism on western societies. According to their warped analysis, violent radicalism is caused not by a barbaric, supremacist dogma but by deprivation, inequality, poor housing, unemployment or lack of education. In the wake of the Brussels massacre there has been a barrage of such rhetoric ...
"Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden came from an incredibly rich family, whose wealth was estimated in 2009 at more than £5 billion. The perpetrator of the massacre on the Tunisian beach [in 2015] in which 38 people died, was a university electrical engineering student ... A report from MI5 in 2011 revealed that 2/3rds of British terror suspects were from middle-class backgrounds. 'There is no simplistic relationship between poverty and involvement with Islamic extremism,' said the report. ...
"The apologists always screech that 'education' is the way to combat jihadism but that is just another attempt to evade reality. In fact, a high level of education is one of the distinguishing features of extremists. One global study found that no fewer than 48% of jihadists around the world has been through some kind of higher education. Both the killers of Lee Rigby attended Greenwich University, while Tarik Hussane ... was a medical student [for what it's worth, Syrian civil war butcher Assad is a London trained medical doctor; Stalin trained as a Priest; Mussolini was a communist newspaper editor before becoming a fascist; while Hitler won an Iron Cross in WWI]. ... Bilal Abdullah, the leader of the Glasgow airport attack in 2007, was an NHS doctor ... multiculturalism has been a disastrous failure, promoting social disintegration and the import of extremism."
- Leo McKinstry, Daily Express, 4 April 2016, page 12.
I think that the BBC should be ashamed of themselves, for endorsing this lying psychopathic lunatic.
Corbyn's lying ability is on a par with the string theorists, Hitler, Stalin, and other mad ranters who persuade themselves of their profundity. He always rants out the propaganda lies with a dressing of moral superiority, reminding you of the last Labour Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, when he ranted that his own party voter Gillian Duffy was "just a bigoted woman" merely because she proved him wrong! That says it all. Thugs are endorsed by a large fan base of nasty Nazi minded terrorists, who try to scare and threaten people into supporting the leader.
Jeremy Corbyn has a peace plan that cannot fail. It's called unilateral disarmament. For terrorism, we disarm all Christians so that terrorists will feel no threat from us. Oh, yes, removing all the arms will only prevent fist fights, so we have to remove legs to, preventing kick boxing. This will diffuse tensions and encourage other people to follow us! Utopia.
http://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/813514/london-bridge-attack-june-2017-terror-victims-political-correctness
"... It is possible to trace the birth of distorted PC multicultural thinking back to October 2000, when the liberal think tank the Runnymede Trust published a report called The Future Of Multi-Ethnic Britain. The report, commissioned by the equality and human rights guru Trevor Phillips, urged that Britain should become a “community of communities” in which each community would respect the other by avoiding causing offence. He fell for it hook, line and sinker. When one writer dared to criticise the report Phillips compared his article to the “jottings from the BNP leader’s weblog”. In other words, racism.
"But much to his credit Phillips had a Damascene conversion, assuming I’m allowed to use a Christian analogy. He dramatically called for the end of multiculturalism and demanded that “a core of Britishness” be asserted. Today he says of the report: “It would be fair to say that I made a big mistake. It was a clear statement that some groups can play by their own rules.” Inevitably, Phillips was pilloried for telling the truth. Red Ken Livingstone said Phillips had swung so far to the Right he would soon be joining the BNP. In today’s shameful PC climate good men are expected to hold their tongues and the human rights lobby holds sway."
Just a humble observation: Ken Livingstone, who hates Jews so much he was suspended from the Labour Party (after much pressure on his friend, the equally bad Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn), and who was known during Marxism crazed time as Leader of London County Council in the 1980s as "Red Ken", was elected Mayor of London afterwards. Now London has another Mayor of similar "political correctness" aka horseshit. Multiculturalism is divisive, it is the cause of civil wars around the world, it is the opposite of British integration, it breeds disrespect and hatred, it is segregation, it results in apartheid which causes racism, suspicion, fear and anger. Until someone is allowed to broadcast the facts on TV and answer back at the "racist" slurs used to defend terrorism, terrorism won't be stopped.
The BBC is too busy giving free publicity to terrorism, to tell the truth.
In the book, "Anti-Imperialism: a Guide for the Movement" (Bookmarks, 2003, 280 pages), Jeremy Corbyn claims that nuclear weapons are unnecessary because the USSR was "no real threat" (far from being a threat, he wanted Communists to replace what he called British Imperialism), and claimed:
"Branding a state as a 'rogue state' has been a pretext for undermining the state ... The declaration of North Korea as some kind of threat is, in a sense, a pretext for stepping up economic and military pressure on that country ... to weaken, if not destroy, the North Korean economy in order to ultimately force some kind of integration between North and South Korea. Then we may see the spread of free market capitalism into North Korea." (Emphasis added.)
Note the hatred by Corbyn of the idea that North and South Korea should be integrated by capitalism; he hates integration and peace, preferring instead division, fear and misery.
On 18 May 2002 in Trafalgar Square, Jeremy Corbyn together with Anjem Choudary of the now-outlawed al-Muhajiroun jihadist group (which inspired the London Bridge attackers Khuram Butt and Rachid Redouane, as well as the 2013 murders of Lee Rigby, namely Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale), both ranted anti-Israel hatred to a crowd of 8,000 (as assessed by police). The Weekly Worker newspaper stated of this 18 May 2002 event:
"Al-Muhajiroun chanted 'Skud, Skud Israel', and 'Gas, gas Tel Aviv', along with their support for Bin Laden. Two would-be suicide posers were dressed in combat fatigues with a 'bomb' strapped to their waists."
Anjem Choudary was the leader of terrorist support group al-Muhajiroun, which was outlawed in 2005.
If you want to attack one religion for failing to stop criminals, you should do the same to any other religions that provide cover. The BBC hypocritically exposes abuses in the Catholic Church as failures of "the Catholic Church", but it bends over backwards to try to put imaginary distance between the abusers of Islam and the Islamic religion itself. The hypocrisy here is the partiality, the bias and the inequality of the BBC.
As I argued to one friend recently:
"I think if you are a member of a group which has some extremists in it who carry out terrorism, then eventually you are associated with that, eventually you have to ask whether you are being tarnished and whether verbally denying support for the extremists is really enough. For example, only a small percentage of Nazis actually committed evil acts, but the whole lot were tarnished and the organisations were banned as a result."
There comes a time when "the game isn't worth the candle", to use an old expression of relevance to Britain's future if Corbyn is elected and succeeds in bringing the country back to the stone age, while he is absorbed with his collection of man-hole covers and sycophantic lunatics. When you ban criticisms of Islam on the basis that such criticisms are "offensive", or "Islamophobic", then you're paranoid, illiberal, and pandering to prejudice just the way Chamberlain did with racist terrorists in 1938. But worse than that, by banning all justified criticisms of thin-skinned racist terrorist thugs and their fellow-travelling flock of "Four legs good, two legs better"-chanting sheep (see Orwell's "Animal Farm"), you are giving justification to terrorism.
If you say that Western "imperialist" values are bad because they led to 9/11, you are justifying that terrorism. This is what Jeremy Corbyn does, although he claims using lies that he isn't justifying terrorism: the fact is, like the BBC, Jeremy Corbyn is effectively inviting terrorism by means of telling the terrorists that Western criticisms of Islam are a just cause for it. This is simply not true. The cause of terrorism is not Western resistance to terrorism. The "hate crime against liberal freedom" is the crime of killing liberal freedom by banning it on the pretext that evil-supporters are "offended" by truth; it is not true that genuine criticisms of any religion "explain" or "cause" terrorism.
https://www.spectator.co.uk/2015/11/jeremy-corbyn-isnt-anti-war-hes-just-anti-west/ :
Jeremy Corbyn isn’t anti-war. He’s just anti-West
And his inability to state his true beliefs defines his leadership of the Labour party
Nick Cohen
Before the bodies in Paris’s restaurants were cold, Jeremy Corbyn’s Stop the War Coalition knew who the real villains were — and they were not the Islamists who massacred civilians. ‘Paris reaps whirlwind of western support for extremist violence in Middle East’ ran a headline on its site. The article went on to say that the consequence of the West’s ‘decades-long, bipartisan cultivation of religious extremism will certainly be more bloodshed, more repression and more violent intervention’.
This flawless example of what I once called the ‘kill us, we deserve it’ school of political analysis takes us to the heart of Corbyn’s beliefs. Even his opponents have yet to appreciate the malign double standards of the new Labour party, though they ought to be clear for all to see by now.
I think you are wrong concerning the propaganda from Corbyn's Marxist support groups like CND, the Communist Party, and Momentum. What's really important is the divide-and-rule "cultural warfare" tactics such as one-sided comedians. The BBC commissions endless anti-Conservative comedians like Ian Hislop, Jimmy Carr, and their associates, but wouldn't dream of making fun of Corbyn's anti-Jew propaganda and Corbyn's pro-terrorist propaganda.
Imagine that Prime Minister Theresa May had, like Jeremy Corbyn, given speeches at rally's supporting the IRA and the people behind recent terrorist attacks. She would be pilloried by BBC comedians as a terrorist supporting evil monster. But that doesn't happen to Corbyn. That fact says it all about the hypocrisy behind the "cultural warfare" being waged by Corbyn's fan base. Theresa May and her advisers simply ignore it, just as they ignore the fact that over 70% of immigrant terrorist sympathisers actually end up voting for Jeremy Corbyn.
This apathy towards fighting Marxist "cultural war" is the Conservative's main problem.
Thanks, I think that's a worthwhile criticism. Cultural warfare by Marxist-fascist saturation of the "liberal arts" is probably as important as their pseudo-science such as eugenics, Marxist economics, climate fear mongering, and nuclear weapons fear mongering. The refusal of Conservatives to expose the fear-mongering agenda of the Marxist-fascist rabble-rouser is deplorable.
Frederick Forsyth wrote yesterday (Daily Express, 9 June 2017, page 13):
"The BBC stopped a torrent of flak from the rest of the media last week for the biased audience in the so-called leaders' debate. I mean the one where seven party leaders faced each other (with Amber Rudd deputising for Theresa May). The complaint was that the audience was rowdily anti-conservatice. ... It had tasked the polling agency ComRes to choose an audience that could be expected to support the seven party hierarchs in equal and balanced proportions. So why the unstinting barracking, heckling and slagging off of Ms Rudd ... The Tory voters listened politely to the left-of-centre five, even while disagreeing with them. The pro-Labour claque behaved like a pro-guillotine mob in the French Revolution [or even the October 1917 Red Revolution in Russia]. This was the reason the whole audience seemed biased. That is the shape of modern politics. Those who believe in fair play and common manners tend to vote Tory; apart from a few intellectuals, the rabble tend to vote hard-Left. ... Extremists prefer to be part of a chanting mob."
Wrong, Frederick Forsyth (he also predicted wrongly a "solid if not landslide majority in the Commons for Mrs May" in the same column, written on Wednesday 7 June and published 9 June). It is worse than he thinks:
1. The ComRes audience research has to assume that the people volunteering to be audience members in debates are really telling the truth about their voting intentions (ComRes does not spy on them in voting booths to check they are telling the truth). Thus, fanatically pro-Corbyn Momentum Marxists and unemployed Communist Party terrorists with time on their hands can easily infiltrate these debates to heckle reasoned arguments for the TV cameras.
2. The use of seven party members with equal time and equal audience fan numbers is not representative of the country, because of mob rule: the six out-of-power "leaders" and their fans simply unite and thereby gang up as a 6-against-1 majority or 6/7 mob, in other words almost 86% of the TV panel and audience against the elected leader. This means that the elected leader and their supporters are in a 1 in 7 minority on the TV show and appear weak and unstable. The "equality" of the 7 platforms in the debate and audience is not reflective of the distribution of voters between different parties in the country!
Just a bit more about Corbyn's pathetic Marxist "Manifesto". He claims that pushing corporation tax in Britain from 19% up to 26% will give him £19.4 billion extra to spend towards free university education (a trick to get young voters to vote for him).
In reality, the Conservatives proved that you get less corporation tax if you increase the tax rate because corporations move away from Britain to places with cheaper tax. This does not just reduce the actually paid amount of tax (instead of increasing it as Corbyn lies), it also COSTS JOBS!
"... to get an idea we can look at the time when corporation tax was last at the 26% proposed by Labour. That was in 2011/12, and the tax at that level raised around £41 billion. Add on inflation and that would be around £44.5 billion today. However in fact, with the rate cut to 20%, the tax revenues have now soared to almost £50 billion a year."
- Richard Teather, https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/the-effect-of-labours-corporation-tax
In other words:
26% corporation tax rate gives £41 billion/year, whereas
20% corporation tax rate gives £50 billion/year.
If you want a curve on a graph using Excel, the mathematical formula this suggests is:
Actually-collected corporation tax = 487 x {corporation tax rate in %} ^ {-0.76} £billion/year
Thus, the actually collected corporation tax is not proportional to the corporation tax rate, but is almost inversely proportional to it! This "paradox" is, of course, what did-in every single Marxist, communist, or hard Socialist regime in history, from Hitler's National Socialists to the USSR. To get more tax money collected to help the poorest, you need to cut tax rates to boost productive business, job opportunities, and capitalist enterprise.
Marxists will never understand this fact. It is contrary to their whole religious dogma.
(Mrs May couldn't even be bothered to take the time and effort needed to explain this convincing to students! In the final TV debate with a student TV audience, she simply claimed in about 2 seconds that Labour's Manifesto budget was wrong, which caused jeers, and then passed on to making some kind of 1870s style rehearsed speech designed to send voters asleep. What they wanted to hear was reasoned arguments based on facts, even if she had to keep notes with facts and figures in her hands to read out to answer questions. People simply didn't want a patronising speech in the style of eighteenth century Prime Minister George Grenville, whose carelessly imposed taxation on America set off their divisive war of independence, the greatest tragedy in British history.)
(Quick note about inflation rates. All uses of generalised "inflation" numbers are quackery, since different products undergo differing changes in prices due to supply and demand. E.g., the price of chocolate has undergone less "inflation" than houses, because mass immigration causes a severe inflation due to the supply-and-demand of houses, whereas a move in preferences away from sugar and fat reduces the demand for chocolate. A single "averaged" inflation rate conversion factor is thus misleading, depending on how it is defined. Even for house prices, the inflation rates are different in different places, being highest where immigration is greatest, e.g. in hard left Corbyn cabinet "safe seat" areas in London...).
There is much in common between Theresa May's far too "over-simplified" slogan sound bite hubris-based, patronising, arrogant, "written for idiots" style in speeches and debates, and the government's similarly poorly defended, poorly argued, self-defeating civil defence and credible nuclear deterrence information. Far more details are needed to win the public over to reason, in the face of lying, evil propaganda saturation by the BBC and friends of the enemy.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, MP, went on TV trying to downplay the current threat from Left riot mob fascist ideology by recalling that in 1832 the Duke of Wellington, the great British hero of the 1815 Battle of Waterloo, had to put iron shutters on his windows to stop them being broken by rioting mobs.
They really don't seem to appreciate the real threat of revolution from the fascists. The situation they are engineering is more like Russia, October 1917, or Paris 1789, than 1832.
