Tories benefit prosperous

THE right wing press, together with the three Jewish newspapers and even The Guardian, are in the vanguard expressing fears of a Jeremy Corbyn premiership.

Over the past years especially, the capitalist system has been generous to those who are rich but, for the majority, the years of austerity have been a damaging and destructive experience.

It is no surprise that those who have benefited so much (the prosperous minority) from these past years are fearful of the changes required to bring about more equal treatment, with Labour’s progressive policies aimed at benefiting ‘the many, not the few.’

It’s inevitable that Jeremy Corbyn is the target from such maligned sources and from the two ex-Labour Party MPs Austin and Woodcock, whose vengeful hatred towards Corbyn, wrapped in abusive language telling voters to support Boris Johnston and the Conservatives, tells us all we need to know about their characters (M.E.N.,

November 8). If they are so enamoured with the Conservatives why did they not join them in Parliament?

Many did join other parties but vituperative comments were absent.

It is not without significance that, while these two were members of Labour Friends of Israel, Jeremy Corbyn is a member of Labour Friends of Palestine.

How strange that these two are prepared to accept Islamophobia in the Tory Party, which Baroness Warsi claimed has existed in the Conservative party for years.

But despite this, they state that Jeremy Corbyn is not fit to be Prime Minister, whereas the leader of the Conservatives is fit to hold office. Tom Jackson, Stockport
