RIP Labour

30 years ago, Tony Benn, the grandfather of the far left in Britain, almost broke the Labour party in two.

Thankfully, for the party at least, Dennis Healy, saved the party from oblivion.

Now the party faces a new threat of being ripped apart, but with an old face, Jeremy Corbyn.

Jeremy is doing what Benn couldn't all those years ago, he tearing the party in two, and I have to give credit where it's due, he's doing it very well.

Ever since he became leader of the Labour party, I have new found respect for many Labour MP's I once despised.

Yvette Cooper, Hilary Benn, Chris Lesley, Ben Bradshaw, John Mann, Mary Creagh, are to name but a few.

They've all taken a leap out of their new leaders book, they're standing by their views, and rebelling against Mr Corbyn, and they're rebelling loudly.

Funnily enough, it seems now the shoe is on the other foot, he's not so keen on rebelling as he used to be at the beginning of the year, strange that isn't it?

Labour Is Dying A Painful Death

In just over 2 months, Jeremy Corbyn has managed to split the Labour party in two, just like in the good old days of when Tony Benn tried to reign supreme, and luckily for Labour, failed.

But this time, the Bennite's won, and they have placed the party into some violent death throws.

Firstly their stance on Trident, strong but not with the majority of the party.

Then there's their pasts coming back to haunt them on a regular basis.

Firstly, Jeremy's connections with the IRA, and his friendship ex-IRA leader Gerry Adams.

As well as McDonnell getting stung from his past words on the IRA, saying that they should have been awarded for their efforts during their siege against Britain.

More words that came back to haunt McDonnell were him claiming that if he could go back in time, he would "assassinate Thatcher." What a nice man!

Another thing to come a hang over Corbyn is his closeness with groups such as Hamas, and Hezbollah, calling them "friends", and inviting them for talks with parliament.

Even speaking at some rallies where, quite visibly and clearly, signs of violence were being held up/

Then there's his and McDonnell's actual problem of leadership itself.

Their first ever Parliamentary Labour  Party meeting was a complete disaster, with one female MP telling Diane Abbott to "f*ck off" by new Labour MP Jess Phillips.

Ben Bradshaw MP said the meeting was "a complete f*cking shambles."

Of course it's not all down to just Corbyn and his Shadow Chancellor who are scuppering Labour's few credentials that they had.

Ex lover of Corbyn, Diane Abbott has also had her fair share of shambles.

Most recently today, although we do go back to McDonnell being the reason, when it was pointed out that McDonnell was picture holding a poster for Socialist Campaign for a Labour victory.

It's headline reads "Our Demands"

In the list is disbandment of the MI5, disarmment of the police, and scrapping Trident.

At first McDonnell denied he signed such a thing, and when Diane Abbott was asked by BBC's Daily Politic's presenter, she said it's probably not true that he signed anything of the sort, and was then quickly shown a picture of him holding the said poster of demands.

Which left Diane Abbott slightly red faced, and unable to answer.

Now he's claiming he didn't read it before being pictured with it.

And of course we have Corbyn's weak stance against ISIS. 

Firstly he doesn't want to bomb ISIS at all, he wants to get a political settlement for the innocent people of Syria, by stopping the funding that ISIS receive.

Which would entail making an enemy out of Saudi Arabia, something we don't need to do, or should want to do.

Saudi is a strong country, and one we need to keep onside.

Also, in doing so, we'd need to get Russia, and the USA to agree to do the same, as well as the rest of Europe, an impossible task.

Then there's his stance on shooting to kill, at first he was against shooting suicide bombers, despite the fact that they would of course kill or injure more people, than if police/ army were allowed to just shoot them dead.

Of course he's u-turned (not his first), and said he does back shooting to kill if the bomber represents a threat to others.....

Corbyn is a threat to the Labour party, let alone our national security.

How Can Syria Reach A Political Settlement Without A War Mr Corbyn?

Political Settlement, that’s what Corbyn wants to help the people of Syria.

Of course everyone would prefer that, I’m sure even some ISIS members would prefer that, however, that’s not going to happen without the war first.

Let’s take a look at the state of Syria in its current status: 

1.  It’s government, lead by the dictator Assad, is chemical bombing its own peopl

2. ISIS, the rebels, are burying women and children alive, crucifying men for not being correct type of Muslim, and burning people in a medieval fashion.

3.  Boat smugglers are asking for €1000’s to get across to Greece, on unsecure boats, that ended up in the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands of women, children, and men.

So out of that mess, how can you come to a political settlement without a war?

How do you stop a barbaric group like ISIS from beheading people like they’re butchers carving a a slice of meat off without fighting them?

How do you stop a brutally evil government from chemical bombing its own people without a war?

How do you stop smugglers from exploiting those genuine refugees from fleeing without a war?

If Mr Corbyn can answers these questions, I’ll hold my hands up and say I am wrong, a war was never needed, but in reality Corbyn himself knows he can’t answer these questions.

Corbyn is living in a dream world, where John Lennon’s Imagine is the national anthem, and we’ve created a utopia.

Well we haven’t, there are tyrant leaders like Kim Jong-un, Raul Castro, Assad, King Salman of Saudi Arabia.

Right now our biggest threat is Syria, and the innocent people of Syria deserve our help from both of these atrocities.

Firstly, ISIS need to be taken out, then something has to be done to Assad and his regime, which will hopefully slow the pouring of people fleeing, and risking their lives, and the lives of their children, for Europe.

If Mr Corbyn, or his Stop The War Coalition group, have a solution to all their problems without a war? Please by all means, start sharing, otherwise, stop talking nonsense, and let us get on with it.

#ParisAttacks

For those who are claiming that the Paris Attacks have nothing to do with Islam are burning their heads in the sand.

Just like the West Boro Baptist church in America, they're interpreting Islam to what they want it to say.

Majority of Christian's believe the Bible is teaching of love, the West Boro Baptist church believes it is teaching of hate.

We largely ignore these Christian extremists, however, ISIS/IS/ISIL are out doing them in the acts of extremism.

Beheading aide workers who have dropped everything to go out there and help people they have never met before, and leave their comforts and loved ones behind.

Crucifying other Muslim men for not being the right type of Muslim, burying women and children alive as they are easy targets.

Raping young girls, marrying young girls, killing young girls.

Brainwashing young men into committing suicide, and killing others in the process.

So if you honestly believe it has nothing to do with religion, you are either burying your head in the sand, or you know deep down your are talking bulls*t.

It's all about interpretation, and their interpretation is a bloody one, that we all have to try and stop.

Jihadi John, Good Riddance To Bad Rubbish

"Ding dong the witch is dead!" Let's hope he suffered a little before he died.

For those who are saying it would have been better for him to have been arrested, brought back here, and tried, here's why I say you are wrong.

Firstly, the aim of getting him arrested would have cost lives, they wouldn't have given him up easily, and he wouldn't have gone easily.

Is he worth arresting that much that more people have to die because of him?

Secondly, if we did catch him, and arrest him, who's to say that ISIS/ ISIL/ IS wouldn't try and get him back, again more lives would be taken because of him.

Thirdly, what would we gain by putting him in a British prison where we have TV, pool tables, gyms, the chance that he could possibly recruit people who are vulnerable within the prison, or even causing havoc on his own.

Fourth, what would those families gain by hearing him explain, and again blame other people for his actions?

What would we gain as a nation hearing his rubbish that it's David Cameron who has blood on his hands?

How would it help combat Islamophobia by giving him further platforms to spew his vile, nonsensical crap about Islam and the Muslim way of life?

What would we gain, as tax payers, by feeding him, watering him, making sure he had a comfy bed at night, most likely counselling (attention)?

What could have possibly be gained by trying him at all?

Freedom of Speech and Expression

Two reasons why I love this country, we have freedom of speech and expression.

However, we do abuse it when someone does something we don't agree with.

For instance, Jeremy Corbyn's nod of the head on Remembrance Sunday, or non nod of the head should I say?

The Sun went into overdrive about a nod, not about what the occasion stood for, but a nod, and I have to agree with a few people, it's pathetic.

We should be ignoring the politicians, the royal family even, and watching those men and women walk past remembering those who they stood with and were either killed, or who have since died the second world war.

David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn, even the Queen should be overshadowed by the remembrance of those who fought for our rights of freedom of speech.

Sometimes the nodding of the head can be seen as a religious act, maybe that is why Corbyn didn't bow as much as they others, but who cares?

Then again, as he is standing to become our next prime minister, we have every right to scrutinise his movements, maybe not a frugally as The Sun, but in a Twitter sort of way.

If people have the right to protest against a government, surely people have the right to criticise the leader of the opposition too?

So, let's all get off our high horses, did Jeremy bow his head enough? I honestly don't care.

Was it wrong of Number 10 to photoshop a poppy onto an old picture of David? I honestly don't care.

Here's what I care about:

"When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today."

Lest we forget.
