When Corbyn's fans stop trying to debate & simply have a go at whoever posted something that doesn't reflect well on him, that's when you know they're soundly beaten.

PS - I think you're confused on the difference between a rant and when someone exults in a lowlife like Corbyn being shown up for the liar he is :j

I posted in another thread about Lord Sugar saying Corbyn should resign.

10/10 for belligerence - on a variety of threads too and from one who requests people stay on topic.
You really do seem to be trying very hard today.
Any particular reason why?

A snippet of attempted on-topic followed by forumonics. You're in no position to preach.

Moving on...

We all want and need a strong and a critical media, but maybe we do not need an attack dog that kills off anyone who challenges the status quo

That article plys a line that's been trotted out several times: That being critical of Corbyn for things such as his extremist views or his support of terrorists & their causes is unfair.

It's similar to the line that criticising Dianne Abbott for being monumentally stupid is somehow unfair or even bullying. It's not.

There's nothing unfair about pointing out the truth. Corbyn does not receive nearly enough critical coverage and if he was on the extreme right as opposed to the extreme left the coverage would have been a thousand times worse.

A nasty man who supports very nasty organizations. And who politicizes terrorism & other tragedies to boot.

Maybe that's part of the 25% of reporting that's representing him fairly?

It's in the language I suppose. I agree Abbott is lacking competence and credibility but being monumentally stupid is a stretch. Can't have been that many girls born to Jamaican parents (a welder and nurse) at Cambridge in the '70's.

No but whether or not he get enough critical coverage is an opinion. I googled 'Corbyn' and there was nothing much to speak of. I don't think the PM gets enough critical coverage - where's she disappeared to lately. She's in charge - Corbyn isn't and likely never will be.

cogito

The media gave Corbyn a free pass during the election campaig. It won't happen again now that his policies are coming under some long overdue scrutiny.

After the student loans fiasco, there is now the question of his position on the EU. He's trying to satisfy both the Remainers in his party who are basically the Islington thinkers and the Leavers who are his core working class vote and finds himself speaking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.

Good news for the Tory party.

This means the LP's ability to destabilise the Conservatives is non-existent. If Mr Corbyn’s party were to take a firm position in favour of remaining linked to either the customs union or the single market, it could table a vote in parliament that would split the Conservatives down the middle. That, in turn, might take the country closer to a general election.
But, that would also split the LP in two. So, Mr Corbyn prefers to see his party wallow in confusion.

Key ally of Jeremy Corbyn caught on video making pledge to wipe off student debts

JC was hit by a growing tuition fees crisis today after it emerged that one of his shadow ministers promised before the election that “every existing student will have all their debts wiped off” if Labour gained power. The Labour leader has been accused of backtracking on scrapping the existing debt of students run up due to tuition fees of up to £9,000-a-year.
Mr Corbyn insists he did not make a promise to axe this debt which is estimated to total more than £100 billion and scrapping it would blow a huge hole in Labour’s financial plans.

However, now an election campaign video has emerged of shadow justice minister Imran Hussain make a firm pledge on student debt.
He said: “Just this morning Jeremy Corbyn has announced that the tuition fees will be abolished straight away from September if there’s a Labour government, and that we will bring back immediately EMA and also that every existing student will have all their debts wiped off.”

Shadow Minister for Public Health Sharon Hodgson also tweeted on June 2: “Jeremy Corbyn: Labour could write off historic student debts| All those in early 20’s with student debt #VoteLabour”

Totally agree. She's simply moved to far up the ladder and been ruthlessly exposed. Corbyn is using her for his own means. Has to as simply doesn't have enough close supporters of calibre around him. Will be his downfall eventually.
