Yeah that'd be because around 80% of my posts in that forum are about him.

It's funny you specified that forum though, as my last post using that word was about James.

Oh, and as I say quite a bit, say what you're insinuating flat out, bring your evidence and stop being a coward, or don't say anything at all.

Again, I’m sorry but reading even a basic history of the Tory party would help you understand just how much nonsense this is. The Tory party is the most successful western political party in history because it changes constantly (which has always struck me as rather odd for a ‘conservative’ party, but I digress). They started out as a protectionist anti-trade party, morphed into a populist working-class party, then became a jingoistic semi-socialistic party, then muddled around for 25 years being nothing, then became a radical free-trade party, before slowly morphing into the soapy middle-of-the-road born-to-rule center-right party they are now.

The Tories never put ideology over winning - they’ve understood that you win, then change the country to think your way.

I think pragmatic change is part of conservative ideology?

Longest running smear campaign against a movement which could have changed politics in this country for years.

All to save a few Billionaires some money and control.

I disagree with that- the fight was always about who controlled the LP, these allegations were merely the most effective weapon the opposition had.

I have just rejoined.

I'm a member and Corbyn isn't lol

Hopefully the cultists will now pee off from the party and rejoin the SWP, where they should have stayed.

How you like that @davek ?

Corbyn is still a member mate but if things escalate with this and he does leave then I suspect that you will be correct. The entryists will cry foul and go back to their parties or form a new super left alliance.
 
The problem is that Corbyn repeatedly endorsed anti Semitic views, whether it was intentionally or (I suspect) otherwise.

One only has to have a read through this forum and the amount of vitriol targeted at Jewish people is evidence of that.

There was a fringe that was drawn to the Corbyn leadership that came from the Ickeian Jewish conspiracy club and unfortunately their ideas propagated. As ever, trace back where the term ‘mainstream media’ was first used and it’s quite eye opening.

Corbyn was to this mad fringe as Trump is to Qanon. The problem is that he didn’t do enough, or actually understand the issue, that was being created.
