There'll Never Be Unity If Corbyn Stays Silent On Jackie Walker

Jeremy Corbyn called for unity within the Labour party from all divisions.

From the old relics of the New Labour era, to the new Labour supporters who've since joined to make sure Corbyn was re-elected as leader.

It'll never, ever happen, and here's why.

Quite rightly Jeremy Corbyn called all forms of anti-Semitism "evil". Absolutely correct.

Yet, a day before his big speech, the vice chairman of Momentum, the pro-Corbyn think tank, had this to say about the Holocaust day:

"In terms of Holocaust day, wouldn't it be wonderful if Holocaust day was open to all peoples who experienced the Holocaust."

To which the audience shout back at her "it is." But this wasn't a good enough answer and so she carried on:

"Well actually in practice, it's not actually advocated and circulated"

Again the audience tell her "it is." Again this isn't good enough and she carried on.

Not only did she spout anti-Semitic views at the Labour conference, she continued to on social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook:



The Labour's party's silence after such a speech from Corbyn is deafening, why? Well a few days before the Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, had this to say of Jackie Walker.

Not only that a few months ago when Jackie Walker was originally suspended for her anti-Semitic views, Owen Jones, the Guardian columnist, actually campaigned for her suspension to be stopped, that the accusation of her being anti-Semitic was "ludicrous".


Nor Jeremy Corbyn, or his Shadow Chancellor have said anything on Jackie Walker's disgusting comments, and their silence is deafening.

It proves that he was just saying words, that has not intension of acting on them, that he doesn't really want unity, he just wants people who agree with him, Jackie Walker, a close personal friend of Mr Corbyn's, definitely agrees with him, and he with her.

Unity in Labour? Yeah right!

Let's Set The Record Straight

Immigration is a key issue today.

Labour's leader Jeremy Corbyn, has said he won't put any controls on the amount of immigrants entering Britain, despite the fact that we've just voted to leave the EU, with one of the main reasons being high uncontrolled levels of immigration.

Good to see you're listening Jez!

Anyway, there seems to be a myth, or an attempt by the left to put words in people's mouths.

For instance, a lot of them say we're angry at the actual immigrants entering our country.

We're not, we're angry at the government, whether it be the last Labour govt, or the Cameron led Tory govt, but for me my anger is especially directed at Labour.

Labour opened our borders to anyone and everyone, with no set limits.

Labour sent out "search parties" for more and more immigrants to come work and live here.

Labour failed to build the required infrastructure to accommodate these people, from housing, to schools, and hospitals, they didn't build enough.

Labour failed to make sure our economy was stable enough to keep on taking in the levels of immigration that we were receiving by ignoring leading economics about the 2008 crash, and carried on spending, and borrowing.

So no, I am not angry at an asylum seeker who's just come from the war torn Middle East.

Neither am I angry at someone who just wants a better life, which is something we should be able to offer.

I am angry at the uncontrolled levels of immigration, the uncontrolled borders of who may be entering or leaving our country.

I am angry that our governments would rather please everyone else, but not the people who voted for them.

I am angry that both Labour and the Tories seem to want to stick their fingers in their ears, automatically call us racists, and assume we're xenophobic because it suits their cause far better, than to listen to us, their employers.

I am angry that the left assume they know the reasons of our concerns without actually asking.

Please stop assuming and start listening, otherwise you'll anger a lot of people which is a dangerous emotion to be ignoring.

Labour Will Never Heal Itself Under Corbyn

Labour is weirdly parodying the sinking of the luxury cruise liner theTitanic.

When Corbyn first stood to become the new Labour leader, after Ed Miliband's pathetic General Election result last year, it was almost like the looks out's seeing the ice-berg too late.

When support for Corbyn grew, it was the Titanic taking far to long to turn to avoid the impending collision.

When Corbyn won, that's when disaster struck, and the Titanic and the iceberg scrapped along side each other.

Since then Labour's sinking is taking far longer than it did for the Titanic to go down, but the motions are still the same.

Currently Labour is at this stage of sinking:


This split in Labour is now far too deep to ever mend, what's been said and done on both sides of the argument are far too personal and nasty to ever stick back together, it's far to late to stick a nicely pictured plaster to heal the rift.

Corbyn doesn't really care though, he'd be glad to see the back of the "moderate" MP's such as Owen Smith, and Angela Eagle, or even Jess Philips.

But what he doesn't realise is that despite the split, as a whole Titanic sank to the bottom of the ocean taking it's captain with it, for treasure hunters, and historians to gaze at every now and then through the darkness.

Labour is heading for the same horrible, but unmissable fate.

Anyone within range, or still on board will go down, naturally, they'll end up landing in different places but as a whole, Labour will sink, and become a tragic story of the past.

How has Labour got to this disastrous stage? Well, it's not all on Corbyn's lack of response to his own ex Shadow Cabinet members.

Before Angela Eagle resigned she had apparently called, emailed and texted the leader, but had had no response at all, she was only his Shadow Foreign Secretary.

His leadership as a whole has been pretty calamitous, his first PLP meeting was, according to one MP, a "fucking shambles."

Losing the vote on Airstrikes over Syria where 60 Labour MPs' voted with the government.

McDonnell's "Mao's little red book" gag......

Anti-semitism within the party, and his failure to deal with it.

The failed campaign to remain in the EU (admittedly not as much of a failure as Cameron's campaign).

These are to name but a few of his own failings, yet of course, he and his supporters will blame the world before they take any responsibility.

Corbyn's First Year

Jeremy Corbyn's first year as Labour leader has been......... fascinating to say the least.

Let's start from the beginning, the Labour leadership bid, it was a given thing that another Blairite/ Brownite/ Milibandite/ a mix of a three New Labour type leader would win.

Then Jeremy Corbyn entered the race.

Oh how he stole the "moderates" limelight.

What the New Labour politicians seems to forget is, to my generation, they're old news, we've lived it, received it's education, listened to their drivel.

Then there was Corbyn, a man we hadn't really heard of, a man who's politics my generation aren't used to at all.

He was unshaven, he was sow at answering questions, he didn't speak the political jargon, he smiled, he looked human.

Here is his first interview with supporter Owen Jones. Look how calm and relaxed he is, despite the fact he had just completed his morning run.

In fact when he was on the radio having a good deabte with his fellow leadership bidders, he was the calmest.

Perhaps because, despite what the polls were saying, he thought there wasn't a hope in hell he would win.

Well, he did win, and it's been a rather turbulent 12 months, let's go through his successes and failures so far as leader.

1. He won with a landsliding majority to become the new Labour leader.

2. He failed to get a woman into one the "top five" shadow cabinet roles, all of them went to men.

3. His past came back to bit him: e.g his close association with ex IRA leader Gerry Adams, calling terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah "friends" and inviting them for chats at the Houses of Parliament.

4. Upsetting his MPs in his first PLP meeting as Labour leader, this ended up with one MP telling journalists the meeting was a "complete f***ing shambles", another said it was a "joke" whilst one female MP told Diane Abbott to "f**k off".

5. Losing the vote on whether or not we should airstrike Syria...... Ed Miliband won his.

6. His Shadow Chancellor, and good friend, John McDonnell's gag of "Chairman Mao's little red book" didn't exactly go well, in fact it was a bit of a lead balloon.

7. The EU referendum didn't exactly go to plan for anyone, David Cameron ended up resigning, and has today resigned as an MP, but for Jeremy Corbyn it was just the tip of the iceberg.

8. Resignation after resignation, Jeremy faced over 40 resignations from his shadow cabinet/ ministerial team, not exactly a good look.

9. After the resignations, Jeremy faced a vote of no confidence  from 172 of his MPs, bearing in mind Labour only have 232, that's a huge majority against him, only 40 voted with confidence.

10. Leadership bid against Jeremy Corbyn was launched firstly by Angela Eagle, who was quickly out of the running, but Owen Smith soon followed suit and is currently running against Jeremy to become new Labour leader.

11. Anti-Semitism has plagued the Labour leader ever since Ken Livingstone was elected to the NEC. For some reason Livingstone can't help himself but mention Hitler's name whenever he's interviewed on TV or radio. Secondly, the press release for the inquest into anti-semitism within Labour had a Jewish Labour MP leave in tears.

Sadly the only upside I can point out was his landslide win last year, and I am sure he will get that again later this month.

Other than that, he has had more failures in one year, than what most have in five, and who's to blame? Quite obviously, and self evidently, it's Jeremy himself, or his team around him.

Who can sort this out? Jeremy himself, and his team around him, so come on Labour, sort yourselves out, and give us a genuine opposition.

My Friend Claire

Dear Claire,

10 years ago today you died. 10 years ago!!

I can still remember that Thursday, a couple of hours before you passed, coming to see you like it was yesterday.

Even though it was obvious you were dying, you were all skin and bone, yet it still came to me as a shock that you died..... then again I've never been that quick have I?

Do you remember the time when, after suffering 3 different bouts of cancer in your left lung, the doctors removed it? Do you remember me coming with your parents to visit you? Do you remember what you were doing, 12 hours after surgery? Tripping other kids up with your drip!!!

You were such a nutter!

Do you remember when me and you downed a bottle of vodka before that particular operation, and you threw up in my kitchen?

Do you remember that helicopter ride?

Do you remember us all getting you into trouble at school so that the teachers treated you like they did us..... with contempt!

Do you remember fake crying at WGS because one teacher wouldn't let you go two minutes early, even the "it" girls stood up for you!

Anyway enough of the past, I thought I would bring you up to date with what's been going on!

Well some of the crew are mother's and or father's! Can you believe, some of our lot have made people!! Amazing I know!

Others have worked since we left school, whilst others went to uni.

Some of us are aunties or uncles, it's great because you can hand them back.

I did a sky dive for Helen and Douglas House five years after you passed. They treated you and your family so well I couldn't not do something for them.

Others have tattoos in memory of you, so you are literally a part of them.

You'd be turning 27 in two weeks time..... 27!!! How quick has it gone from childhood to adulthood? Too quick!

Anyway I'm going to let you go, as I am sure you're busy stalking Eminem, I'll be at your grave with a few of us later.

See you soon

Becks
