Are attacks designed to discredit Jeremy Corbyn?

-

Andre Previn, conductor, Barry Levinson, film director and producer, John Ratzenberg­er, actor, Michael Rooker, actor, Rory Bremner, impression­ist Paul Rudd, actor, Lord Frederick Windsor, son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, Fabrice Muamba, former footballer AM I the only person to see that the recent attacks on Jeremy Corbyn are part of an orchestrat­ed plan to discredit him? Yes, the Labour Party and Momentum has its share of idiots as have other parties.

He has recently been labelled an anti-Semite because of some of the ill-judged remarks/support given by those within the party who really should be more circumspec­t or at least better educated.

Following the recent accusation­s of being an anti-Semite he is now being castigated for associatin­g with the wrong type of Jew. His recent attendance was at an event organised by Jewdas, a left wing Jewish group in his own constituen­cy. Should he not have attended?

This really is becoming quite ridiculous now but ‘they’ have picked up a stick to beat him with and they won’t drop it because it’s the only stick they have.

Is every person who sees the injustice perpetrate­d in Palestine and speaks out an anti -Semite? I really think these are attempts to silence right thinking people.

Some may look at a book A Very British Coup by a former Labour MP Chris Mullin and see what was fiction being enacted. IS it no wonder there are wars with our political elite getting things wrong time and time again?

The latest brinkmansh­ip with Russia is a case in time where there was no unequivoca­l evidence and, just like the war with Iraq or Libya where the former, did not have weapons of mass destructio­n as we all know now.

But it never stopped Blair and Bush starting an illegal war that was not authorised by the UN and if we don’t watch out, eventually we shall have a war like no other in the history of humanity through our politician­s’ sheer stupidity.

So why do our political leaders get it so wrong is the big question. It must have to do with a lesser intelligen­ce in my view, as who would inflame/fan the possibilit­ies of war (stoking up the possibilit­y) and indeed start them without clear evidence that other nations are threatenin­g us or, in the so-called Russian poisoning case, where the victim was a double spy, apparently taking liberties with no scrap of indisputab­le evidence that the Russians did it?

Indeed, these people who dabble in espionage for a living, especially working for both sides, will know all sorts of unsavoury people that may very well have a grudge against them I am sure.

Therefore, our greatest danger for a major future war to start is not the alleged aggressors that politician­s tell us, but our own political leaders where history has recorded this fact.

Time I feel that we had a mechanism where we could reel in our senior political decisionma­kers who appear to create conflict on a whim of a mere ‘I think that they did it or I think they have it.’

For if we have not this mechanism in place one day may come when it is too late to anything about it and then no-one will have a future at all.

Therefore, it is also time that our political leaders lived in a world where evidence was at the very heart of their decision making process; not hearsay and especially when it comes to wars and accusation­s that could very easily start wars.
