Dear Colleagues,
As expected Jeremy Corbyn won the leadership election in the Labour
Party...by an overwhelming majority. This was despite one of the worst
negative campaigns I have seen in some years, carried out by his
opponents in the Parliamentary Labour Party and by the mass media. All
the old leadership ganged up against him, all the previous failures,
like Blair and Kinnock said he made the Labour Party unelectable. With
the exception of Blair, none of the others got the Labour Party
elected...and look at the mess he made of it with his running mate the
President of the United States, George Bush.
He isn't photogenic. He doesn't have charisma...He is a hypocrite, he
is contradictory. He doesn't have any policies. The Labour Party
doesn't have any policies...well, ones that will work, because they
don't know which sector of the population they represent anymore...if
they ever did. He is a deceiver, he is useless. Above all...he is one
of them left wingers...a secret socialist, an opponent of Israel
wonderful policies for making the Palestinians happy and peaceful. It
wouldn't be surprising if he was a member of a conspiratorial world
communist party ready to take over the country and gain the fruits of
the successes of previous Conservative and Labour governments policies
in the UK, and of course the tremendous success of capitalism in
producing wealth for the masses, and producing such intellectual power
horses such as Trump and Hilary Clinton, and Theresa May and such like
politicians. And every little mistake he made got plenty of reporting
in the media. He is of course, always wrong, and doesn't have the
support of the British people or the Labour party...and above all,
according to his detractors in the Parliamentary Labour Party, incapable
of winning a general election so that they can all get nice jobbies in
Parliament. What an interesting scenario painted by his detractors and
opponents.
Is it true? Well, he did win the Labour Party election by a handsome
majority, overwhelming support from those who voted, which was 77%. Has
he got any policies...nope. Has his detractors and opponents...nope.
He knows where he stands on Brexit, but the Labour Party PLP doesn't,
neither does its national executive committee, neither do most of the
trade union leadership. Most of its grass roots is Brexit, the rest of
its bureaucracy and paid employees including M.P.s are Remainders. Is
he a deceiver...no more than his accusers. Is he charismatic? Nope. Do
charismatic politicians like charismatic priests make for a better
world...Nope. They usually charismatically line their own pockets at
the expense of the rest of the world, and then fuck the world up so that
it is difficult for the rest of us to live in it. And the uncharismatic
spend their time, putting it all back together again, so that the
charismatics can cream off the fat for themselves and pour shit on the
rest of us.
What will the Parliamentary Labour Party M.P.s do now? You see, if they
don't sort themselves out, they will be deselected at the next general
election, and they don't want that. It is OK being all mouth and
trousers when the money is coming in, but when the money disappears the
principles tend to disappear also. Will they all resign their jobs and
go and do a proper job for less money? Of course not...principles are
good things to have provided they don't cost any money! Will they form
another political party and stand for election in the next parliament.
Of course not...They wouldn't get elected, they support the Remainders,
most of the British people are Brexiteers. For the same reason they
can't join UKIP. Will they leave the Labour Party and join other
political parties, like the Conservatives, or UKIP or the Libdems? They
could join the Scottish National Party, but would the SNP have
them...and they don't live in Scotland. Well, they might join the
Conservative Party, and bring their great wisdom and electability to the
media moguls and think tanks of Conservatism...if the Conservatives will
have them...though they have plenty of misfits of their own. And the
Conservative Government is pledged to Brexit, which is somewhat against
their principles! So, after their failed civilian coup in the Labour
Party, one doesn't know next what they are going to do...but I am sure
that they will think of something...:-D

Dougie.
