Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[binka]

Is Corbyn a bit thick or am I giving him too much credit?

 

[killer b]

If nothing else, I'm amazed no-one has laundered his facebook for shit like this yet. He's been leader for three years.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

If this is legit (and it certainly looks it) then he’s toast.

it is legit, and I bet he isn't.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

it is legit, and I bet he isn't.

Why not? Looks dodgy as fuck.

I hope you’re right as I won’t be able to live through the Tory glee this would unleash.

 

[scifisam]

Someone has posted Labour's response on that Twitter thread. It says the mural was anti-Semitic and Corbyn should not have defended it. But every fucking arsehole on that thread is saying "you won't get a response" and "he'll say his account was hacked" etc. The response is RIGHT THERE. Oh and accusing him outright of being a Nazi. They call themselves moderates, heh.

 

[killer b]

I dunno, half the arseholes on that thread are attacking Berger and talking about 'so-called antisemitism'.

 

[killer b]

I think it's probably reasonable to be critical of Corbo over this and his piss-weak defence tbh.

I assumed it was a trick to draw out those responses... I am totally shocked it is actually him

 

[rutabowa]

I genuinely did not think he was anti semitic at all, and that post is so blatant that if it exists it is difficult to believe that there is not loads more really blatant stuff?

 

[Kaka Tim]

is that definitely corbyns comment?

if it is - well - yeah - i think that could finish him.

 

[killer b]

yeah.

 

[killer b]

the guardian have a story with his response if you need further clarification

Corbyn criticised after backing artist behind antisemitic mural

 

[Kaka Tim]

jsut seen that orginal post is from october 2012 - which means it probably is i guess.

 

[killer b]

'i guess.'

 

[agricola]

This is exactly the same allegation that first got an airing in 2015 after he became leader.

 

[Threshers_Flail]

It might not finish him but it's proper daft.

 

[killer b]

it isn't really an allegation is it? There's no doubt that he posted that supportive message of the racist mural. It's right there. That it's been raised before (and forgotten about) isn't really that relevant.

 

[stethoscope]

He's just sacked Owen Smith. It's all happening today!

 

[agricola]

Saying he posted a message asking why the mural was going to be painted over and comparing it to the destruction of another mural wouldn't be an allegation, no.

Saying that he posted "a supportive message of the racist mural" would be.

 

[killer b]

lol whatever

 

[mojo pixy]

I don't know but if that was a message Corbyn himself posted then I'd expect him to spell Rockefeller right.

 

[killer b]

HE DID POST IT HIMSELF AND HAS ADMITTED AS MUCH IN A STATEMENT RELEASED TODAY, WHICH IS REPORTED IN ALL NEWS OUTLETS.

 

[mojo pixy]

Then his spelling is rubbish. Fuck him.

 

[killer b]

Jesus Christ. It's not as if this particular blind spot hasn't been abundantly clear for years. Just because it's been weaponised by his enemies doesn't make it not real.

 

[mojo pixy]

IT'S NOT BEEN ON RADIO 4 (which is the only news I've encountered the last day or two) SO THAT'S A BIT SLACK OF SAID ENEMIES.

Corbyns just sacked that rodent man Owen Smith
A most disgusting MP of the highest order
Always sneering and looking down his nose, for me a horrible man
Wanted a Second referendum and going against policy
"Get on the back bench" Well done Mr Corbyn

Owen Smith_MP
Just been sacked by @jeremycorbyn for my long held views on the damage #Brexit will do to the Good Friday Agreement & the economy of the entire U.K. Those views are shared by Labour members & supporters and I will continue to speak up for them, and in the interest of our country.

 

[bemused]

it is legit, and I bet he isn't.

Telfon Jeeza, I love it for the same reason I love how stuff slides off Trump; the screams of frustration from those trying to catch him out.

Let's be honest if any Tory MP has done this people would be labelling them Nazi this very minute.

 

[bemused]

Corbyns just sacked that rodent man Owen Smith

I never liked Smith since the very moment he threw Angela Eagle under the bus, he's the most disingenuous leadership candidate I can remember.

 

[andysays]

Nice bit of hyperbole from Peter Hain...

Labour peer Lord Hain, a former Northern Ireland secretary, called the sacking a "Stalinist purge" - and said Mr Smith was widely respected for his work on Northern Ireland.
