Labour Party/government Watch

What can we do to change the minds of decision makers and people in general to actually do something about preparing for the forthcoming economic/energy crises (the ones after this one!)?

Whoosh :D .

It's just that one of my colleagues asked me what was this about hard right Dave Cameron, and no one else seemed to know, so I was in explaining mode,

The Independent has now swung firmly behind Corbyn:

First defection from LibDems to Labour. You there, John Hemming? :lol:

http://m.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co. ... ?ref=fbshr
A Liberal Democrat councillor has defected to Labour in support of Jeremy Corbyn, becoming Richmond's first Labour councillor in more than 13 years.

Teddington Councillor Jennifer Churchill, partner of the borough's former Lib Dem leader and fellow Councillor Stephen Knight, said new party leader Tim Farron "doesn't seem to stand for anything".

She also criticised her former party for "parroting Tory economic propaganda".

Indeed.

Cameron - "Initiation ceremony to exclusive dining club...."

Corbyn - "Bizarre sex act with dead animal...."

Jeremy Corbyn has become the first Labour leader to score a negative poll rating on his debut, Ipsos-MORI has confirmed.
The left-wing firebrand scored minus three - worse than every other party leader since 1980, including Ed Miliband.
His rating was also worse than the Conservatives Iain Duncan Smith and William Hague.
To be fair it is in the Telegraph, but ...

British Jews challenge community leaders over Corbyn

On Thursday 17th September 2015, The Guardian published a piece that unquestioningly reproduced demands from so-called leaders of the Jewish community that Jeremy Corbyn clarify claims that originated with a self-confessed Holocaust denier. Jeremy has answered these allegations numerous times, but our self-appointed spokespersons simply repeat them again and again, and The Guardian seems happy to be a willing vehicle for this attempted witchhunt.

This is the letter Jews for Jeremy sent in response to that article. We have included some additional names that arrived late, and it has now been signed by 88 people. We know that other individuals also wrote responses to that article.

The Guardian has chosen not to expose itself to questioning or criticism, so we are publishing our letter here and on our Facebook page, and encourage people to share it as widely as possible.

Dear Letters Editor,

The UK Jewish “leaders” who “seek clarification” from Jeremy Corbyn know that he has already answered their questions, again and again – in the Jewish Chronicle, The Guardian, Channel 4 News and elsewhere. But in their desperate attempt to undermine him, they continue to repeat these smears like mantras.
One such mantra is that “…15 years ago he attended meetings of a group called Deir Yassin Remembered, founded by Holocaust denier Paul Eisen.” Since Eisen didn’t reveal himself as a Holocaust denier until 2005, Jeremy Corbyn and the many other audience members, including rabbis and MPs, would have had to be psychic to know this in 2001. Indeed, in going to the press, Eisen himself seems to share the intention of these Jewish “leaders”, to taint him with the accusation of antisemitism.
Jeremy Corbyn is well able to answer this mischief-making on his own behalf, but we want to challenge the assumption that the Board of Deputies and the Jewish Leadership Council speak for all Jews in Britain.
The article claims that the “Community wants ‘straight answers to straight questions’.” Apart from the patronising and insulting tone towards the leader of Her Majesty’s Official Opposition, these so-called leaders are not “the community”. They do not speak for British Jews who are critics of Israel, oppose the Occupation, or support secular, rather than faith schools.
Many Jews are delighted that Jeremy Corbyn has won such a clear democratic mandate to lead the Labour Party. In contrast, we have no recollection of being invited to participate in any democratic process to elect these people who claim to represent us.

I swear to God, the last few months of naked propaganda on our MSM causes me to doubt my own bloody sanity sometimes. The utter, utter lies and bullshit being spewed by the MSM at the moment is quite unprecedented. But not just on Corbyn either. It's on a whole swathe of issues.
