Owen Jones – Idiot.

Ah, yes, the teenage trot is at it again.

Corbyn’s no anti-British traitor: the Tory press is playing a risky game

The thrust of his latest piece of risible bullshit is that it was all a long time ago, and so what if he talked to some nasty people some of whom, most definitely were, enemies of the state?

Well, yes, the cold war is over and it was all a long time ago. However, Corbyn and his equally vile shadow chancellor have cosied up to some of the most repugnant people in the world – from foreign spies who were enemies of this country to terrorists, who, again, were enemies of this country.

You can argue that this was all a long time ago. You could even argue, possibly, that he didn’t know they were spies. However, in highlighting it, those of us who oppose Corbyn and his evil hard left ideology, are pointing out that it demonstrates their lack of judgement, it demonstrates that they will talk to anyone who is likely to support their aims, no matter how repugnant. So, yes, he is an enemy of the state and no, he cannot be trusted and, no, pointing this out is not some sort of right-wing conspiracy, nor is it a smear and it is definitely not undermining democracy.

  1. My hope is that Corbyn’s surprisingly good showing in the last election was just an anomaly. I think that many voted for him to piss off May thinking that it was a harmless thing to do as they thought that he couldn’t possibly win. The fact that him winning has been shown to be a possibility means that no one is likely to do anything so stupid next time around. People who genuinely support him will vote for him of course but I think that they are probably a really small minority.

    • I think you are right to some extent. A vote for Labour in 2017 was a free protest vote, because as you say, everyone thought the Tories were set for a big majority. All those voters will have to decide if they REALLY want Corbyn as PM before voting Labour next time.

      Having said that Labour are still neck and neck in the polls so it doesn’t look like many are that put off by his behaviour/character at the moment.

      • I suspect that the polls are a response to Theresa May’s ineptitude. A decent Tory PM would be way ahead in the polls as Corbyn is presenting them with an open goal..

  2. What is so amusing about Jones is his ability to suddenly start pompously lecturing the world about things he knows ansolutely nothing about. In the case of Corbyn, I am reminded that Jones wasn’t even born until the final months of the Thatcher administration. Those of us who actually lived before 1991 have a very different recollection of events.

    Corbyn was always well known as a trot. Any accusation that he colluded with Czech agents back in those days may or may not be true, but regardless dissolves into insignificance against other instances where Comrade Corbyn chose not only to give succur to our nation’s enemies but in many cases actually voted accordingly as an MP.

    In Corbyn’s case, the irony is that I don’t even care about this alleged Czech spy business. This is a man who not only voted against reclaiming the Falklands, but even as recently as 2013 was tabling parliamentary motions to demand talks with Argentina with a view to handing the Islands over and betraying the Falklanders and those who died defending them.

    This is the man who spent many years chumming up with Martin McGuinness & Gerry Adams during the same years that the IRA were laying bombs to kill British civilians in London, Birmingham, Brighton, Manchester, Leeds, Bournemouth, Guildford and Warrington.

    This is the man who is a continuing friend to the abhorrent Hamas, and presides over a party which clearly has no problem with anti-semetism on an organisational scale.

    So the Czech thing is small potatoes really. Any of these other acts of treachery should be enough to preclude this vain man from office of any kind, not for the masses of elderly trots, ignorant millenials and Guardian writers who form Momentum none of that matters any more because it was a long time ago (or some other bollocks excuse)

    I remember – and I will never forgive this man’s ability to sell out our country and it’s people on the alter of his own vanity. Ever.

    • Agree, well said.

      Don’t forget, his support of McGuinness & Adams encouraged others to do same. This caused increased mayhem, suffering and murder in Northern Ireland.

      I was born and lived in NI; it was not Iraq/Syria, but far worse than most in GB could imagine. In 1994 the 1,000lb car bomb at Stormont Hotel was “normal” and not reported in GB MSM.

      Yes, I was there, all windows on one side of house broken, debris from car flew over house and embedded in front garden.

  3. When I saw your header, I didn’t notice the spaces, so I thought maybe he had effected a name-change by deed poll to give himself a double-barrelled surname.

    Owen Jones-Idiot has a certain ring to it.

  4. Rather amusingly, Guido quoted a Guardian editorial from 1996 which read as follows:

    “Every few years, the London Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn indulges his romantic support for Irish republicans by using his parliamentary privileges to give them a publicity platform. These occasions always also provide a showcase for Mr Corbyn’s abiding qualities: his lack of wider political and moral judgment, his predilection for gesture politics, his insensitivity to the feelings of most Londoners and his indifference to the policies of his party… Mr Corbyn’s actions do not advance the cause of peace in Northern Ireland and are not seriously intended to do so. It is surprising that a politician as clever and important as the Sinn Fein leader should be bothered with him. Grown-up people ought to keep this childish sideshow in perspective. Mr Corbyn is a fool, and a fool whom the Labour Party would probably be better off without.”

  5. By his deeds shall you know him. Either way you want to cut this, this odious reptile has never had the interests of Britain or its people at heart. He may or may not have passed information to the StB (I reckon he almost certainly did), but in my eyes he’s a traitor.

  6. Does nobody here remember the same accusations were levelled at both Michael Foot and Neil Kinnock and I’m fairly sure Harold Wilson as well. It is fairly standard practice for the tory press to do this whenever it looks like the tories are falling out of favour. Anyone who buys into this nonsense….I have a bridge to sell you.
    When they did this to Foot, he sued Murdoch and the paper the accusations were printed in and won. Remember that before you all grab your pitchforks….

    • Corbyn’s meeting with known terrorists is a matter of record. I don’t give a toss about the Czech allegations, but as I mentioned, he has demonstrated a lack of judgement. The man is unfit for public office. That’s why this story is important.

      You can say pretty much the same about Kinnock and Foot. Wilson, not so much.

      • Just for a bit of balance, I don’t believe the allegations that the Russians interfered with Brexit, or the Trump campaign, or had any connections with Nigel Farage, all of which have been made recently with just as much evidence. I think the problem with these things is that people that oppose the politics of the above named people want the allegations to be true and that colours their judgement on such things.
        As for his (Corbyn) meeting with unsavoury characters well even Churchill is quoted as saying that, “Jaw jaw is better than war war” and that means sometimes dealing with unsavoury people. What it definitely doesn’t mean is that anyone doing so is a traitor otherwise most of the politicians from the last half century would probably be in gaol.

        • It may be the role of government to talk to unsavoury people when negotiating a peace treaty – not opposition back-benchers.

          Corbyn has a record of meeting just about anyone who is an enemy of Britain (which is why I’ve generally taken a “meh, so what?” approach to the revelations themselves) – including Hamas and there is evidence of this. You can’t really compare the two situations.

          This man is on the hard left and the hard left will do anything and cosy up to anyone if it furthers their aims. And if the bastards ever got into power, they would bankrupt the country with the usual tax and spend. They would make that idiot Brown look vaguely competent. He hasn’t changed and nor has McDonnell.

          One of the worst examples of this was the utterly vile, evil Eric Hobsbawm. An unapologetic soviet who was content to brush aside the piles of dead bodies as the greater good.

          …otherwise most of the politicians from the last half century would probably be in gaol.

          Which is where most of them belong.

          • Not only did Corbyn snuggle up to the Irish Republicans at the same time they were killing people regularlty both in the UK and NI, but he now tries to claim smugly that his efforts kept the IRA and the table by “talking to them” and tries to claim via some distorted logic that his interventions played a major part in the Good Friday Agreement.

            Which of course is as bollocks-on-stilts as Tony Blair’s claims that he brought it about and all that “hand of history on my shoulder” cobblers.

            In fact most of the work on the Good Friday Agreement was done by John Major’s Government. And far from Corbyns claims of bringing the Republicans to the negotiating table, the truth was the IRA had been heavily penetrated by informants, the ground was shrinking under them politically, the new generation of young Irish were proving less and less supportive of Sinn Fein, and crucially Bertie Ahern made it increasingly clear that Republican terrorists would have no hiding place in the Republic.

            But Corbyn continues to perpetuate this myth that like he, like some version of Kofi Annan, was instrumental. He’s a liar.
