Yes: the press WERE pretty hard on Ed too, weren't they? ๐ (Though he, unlike Corbyn, is no socialist!)
The press WERE pretty antisemitic towards Ed, bacon sandwich jokes and all, not that the Jewish Chronicle called them out on it.. And they were antisemitic towards Ed's late father Ralph Miliband, though it was all under the rubric "your dad was a Communist"! They were SO horrible about it, that Jeremy Corbyn felt obligated to step in and set the record straight. This was of course long before he stood for leader. And shows the integrity amd loyalty of JC! ๐
But at the time, I had no idea why people didn't vote for Ed rather than Cameron.. Even though Ed wasn't firmly anti-austerity. Of course, the Scots deserting "New Labour" for the SNP didn't help either.. But I knew New Labour was a busted flush really anyway by 2010, I suppose.. But STILL that wing of the party hung in and has now taken it over. Arrogantly thinking that the British public will love them, as they are, yes, that word again, "electable", ha ha! ๐๐
The irony really is that "electable" Starmer really might get in in a couple of years, due to nothing but the Tories imploding... So by default. ๐คทโโ๏ธ But nobody will love him! Why would they?

The trouble with free speech is, isn't it, that SO many people seem to want it for themselves, and "their side" exclusively.
Look at how the left, both Marxist and liberal, recently cheered on the online silencing of Trump. THEN, a couple of weeks later, many of THEIR Facebooks etc I were taken offline. ๐
#Censorship, once resorted to, is used against all sides. Jimmy Dore on his YouTube show has been making this point for weeks.
Also: private companies such as Twitter, Facebook should not be the ones to decide who has access. Independent journalist Gordon Dimmack has made this point.
Twitter and Facebook are now public utilities like phone companies and should be made to operate as such. (Jimmy Dore, again.)
Yes the UK does need a First Amendment - but until we get some control over those corporations... ๐
Anyway: Wetwipe Keir Starmer should stop trying to rewrite the rules of the Labour Party; and let's get rid of him and be #AgainstAllCensorship. ๐๐

Fancy equating Covid and Corbyn in the same sentence!! ๐ก Mandelson should wash his lying mouth out!!! ๐๐๐๐
Anyway - it's the usual excuses, from the Blaireites! ๐
Somebody should tell Mandy, that when the Democrats in the US started all this "the working class has nowhere else to go" - they ended up doing very badly!! They had to promise something "different": and that's why they let Obama have a go. When he proved not to be, the workers, particularly in the rust belt states, just weren't buying Hilary Clinton any more. ๐
So they voted for Trump. (Though polling showed Bernie woulda won, if the DLC or whatever it was had let him through in 2016. In that*, the usually rather illiterate (by my impressions) working masses, *proved that they were being much more intelligent than their British rust belt equivalents! Because the Yanks had the brains that they would have voted for a democratic socialist populist, had he been offered on the presidential ballot .
Whatever goes wrong in the North, part of it surely is the North's own fault!! If you believe the Sun and the Mail; if you "live on past glories", as my immigrant mother used to put it (of nostalgia and past days of Empire)... If you're a bloody idiot who thinks that Corbyn is an IRA anti-Semite or whatever -
Then you DESERVE to be ruled and exploited by an evil clown!! ๐คก
