It's quite poor really how the media do that. An election springs up and the tories only tactic is to attack jeremy bloody corbyn. It's nothing short of pathetic. It comes across as quite desperate to be honest. Let's hear about Tory policy instead, what will it involve, costings the future etc.

There's a stack of evidence that he's, at least, turned a blind eye to the fierce antisemites in his party. And a number of Jewish people including MP's have resigned as a result. I expect this to be revisited in the coming weeks

I once turned a blind eye to a kid pinching a penny sweet in the shop. Now I'm a thief also

Great point. The islamophobia expressed on this thread by the very people claiming that Corbyn is anti semitic is unreal. I'm pro-Palestine but I'm not anti Israel or anti Jewish in any way.

Apparently Labour were holding a Halloween trick or treat thing in our town last night.... first it was on, then off, then on again, then off. They couldn't make up their minds? In the end they just went off and abused some jewish family for not given them a treat. <laugh>

This is not a case of being sensitive - I suppose he has absorbed a great deal of Marx's ideas but he does not act on those ideas exclusively. I could be described as a Kropotkinist or a Marxist but that is theoretical - I do not act on those ideas 24 hours per day. If he starts to create revolutions then you can start to worry - but he is not the calibre of man that such a revolution would need. The Labour Party is a broad church and Corbyn likes it that way - there is still a Christian Socialist society within the Labour Party, but is the party as a whole a religious party ? Some of the contradictions really are amazing - apparently Corbyn is a Marxist and an anti Semite ? Rather forgetting the ethnic origins of Marx, and so many other Marxists.

There was what looks like a good programme on Marx on BBC4 last week. Haven’t seen it all yet but looks interesting.
