O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[i961pie]

Admittedly I wasnt a fan of Corbyn but as a person he was miles ahead of Boris for integrity.His policies were good enough but He was destroyed by the press and if people cant see beyond their own nose we get the leader we deserve.
Yes probably Tory voters voted tory aswell as those that bought into the levelling up lies.
Has anyone heard about anti semitism lately or has it suddenly become irrelevant to all and sundry?

Integrity?? he might have been ahead of Boris but this is the man who as slated off the EU all is political life and wanted out but didn't have the guts to say so at the time.
Do you think people who are are anti semitic have changed their views just because they have a new leader. Do you think racists change their views because it is against the law. They just keep quiet. Only a Jewish person can answer your question if it's gone away or not.

My point about anti-Semitism is that you couldn't move without it being held with a big stick to hit Corbyn and the labour party with (off course the Tories and Boris are not racist in the slightest) !
Since the election you never hear about it at all , it's as if the public couldn't give a damn about it at all and were only outraged about it in the first place because the press kept accusing Corby of being Racist and the voters bought it with Bells on.
I agree with you about Corbyn and his inactivity around Brexit and blame him and labour for not defending REMIAN long or loud enough. However his and the parties policies in general were good and for the benefit of the country but were slaughtered by the media and the public bought the T shirt on it.

The press and the Tories did jump on it, but it was the Jewish MPs and members of the Labour party that first bought the subject up about racism in their own party. Neil Kinnock spent years kicking out the socialist worker party supporters who had infiltrated the party in the 80s allowing Blair to benefit and win 3 elections. Then first Milliband and then Corbyn let them back in making them unelectable in the public's eyes. Hopefully Starmer can sort it out but I would like to see Andy Burnham become leader, he would thrash Johnson in an election imo.

Burnham does nothing to impress that he could be a leader of the Country - he just seems to throw his dummy out of the pram if things don’t go his way. If Labour see him as a potential leader then they are forever doomed to the opposition benches. Starmer is a decent chap and he has integrity however, IMO he lacks leadership qualities and that added thing called ‘charisma’. Just a shame we can’t convince David Milliband to come back to the fold.
