catch yourself on, ffs
do you think the mass media exists to propagate anarchist ideas or capitalist ideas?
Are you sure?
Perhaps it's more likely they'll see a sweary old man and his mates confroting a man and in front of his kids and consider that while rejecting the more substantive point.
I doubt she's that smart. I think it quite likely she lumps them in as corbynistas

Proper daft that.
Not wanting to sound like a blind Corbyn cultist but how the beeb are leading with the above story (however daft) yet have chosen not to cover the EU Tory group's backing of that fascist Orban is ridiculous.

Sad but not surprising to see student left style conspiracy theory is where the trade union bureaucracy has collapsed to.
What bollocks from Serwotka there
(Thought there should a link to be this BBC story).
I'm PCS. Mark Serwotka has in union-specific terms been pretty good generally (IMO).
But he should never have come out with this shit. PCS, being a Civil Service union, isn't even Labour Party affiliated
... not that that's particularly relevant, just saying though.Hope for major social security ‘brutality’ campaign after ‘breakthrough’ Labour meeting
This is is great, John McDonnell helped co-ordinate it, 5 shadow ministers in attendance.
But is that the Canary editor/owner next to him?
btw, some real hero's in that picture, dedicated activists like John McArdle, Black Triangle Campaign

Back to Corbyn as font of all the evils of the world. After all he has form ruining Xmas and you don't get lower than that
What? Is this Stephen Pollard (no idea who he is) equating criticism of bankers/austerity by Corbyn with criticism of Jewish people? Is that not kind of anti-semitic or am I missing something?

Editor of the Jewish Chronicle, so probably not. Though almost a tacit admission of a throw enough shit and see what sticks approach.

Pollard is a right wing cunt, I’m no fan of Corbyn and think he is ill advised by the clique around him, and I think McClusky and Serwotka have added fuel to the fire but make no mistake Pollard is building a head of steam to paint critics of bankers as anti semites, not the first time someone has done that.
From the Jeremy Gilbert article I posted before.
"This is a crucial point to take on, because there can be little doubt as to what the next stage of the right-wing attempt to weaponise antisemitism and claim the mantle of cosmopolitanism will be. A couple of weeks ago, I remarked to my partner that I thought the next stage would see the right-wing attempting to claim that any criticism of finance capital in general - any reference to ‘parasites’ or ‘greedy bankers’ - should be characterised as implicitly anti-Semitic. It is certainly true that anti-Semites have often tried to win support by eliding mistrust of financiers, speculators and rentiers with hatred of Jews. This doesn’t mean we should deny the fact that financiers, speculators and rentiers deliberately exert influence when they can, to maximise their own interests at the expense of others. Quite the opposite: it means that we should stress very strongly that the problem with capitalists is their complicity with capitalism, and not their religious or ethnic identity."

Christ, even by his low standards, Pollard really has made an arse of himself there

Absolutely right. The end game is where every and any anti capitalism comment is smeared as antisemitic
