[kj] OT: Jeremy Corbyn

[Were Wolf]

**“I’ve been forbidden to go into politics by my youngest daughter, and she’s right about that. **Jeremy Corbyn seems like an okay guy, but they all start out with high ideals, don’t they? Until they get into the machine of the establishment… You think British Aerospace would let someone like him get into power, someone who wants to get rid of Trident? It wouldn’t be very good for business, would it? And people here think they live in a democracy… I just hope I live long enough to see Tony Blair tried for war crimes. He knew there was no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, as those recent email links have clarified. Those war crimes rather put David Cameron getting a blowjob off a pig in the shade.”

Thinking Out Loud: Killing Joke's Jaz Coleman | Louder<https://www.loudersound.com/features/thinking-out-loud-killing-joke-s-jaz-coleman-1>

Jaz Coleman is not your average common-or-garden rock singer. A fiercely intellectual polymath, Killing Joke’s redoubtable frontman has scored symphonies, conducted orchestras, lectured on permaculture and environmental sustainability, acted in films and worked with the United Nations, all the while channelling the veteran West London quartet’s bleak, compelling post-punk fury, an ...

I too initially liked some of Jezza's ideas and his stand for the common man the many not the few but it does seem to be one thing after another with JC these days. He was always opposed to the Common Market/EEC/European Project during the 1970's/1980's but appeared to be warming to a Remain in the European Union position before the Referendum, but since the vote for Brexit says he wouldn't want Britain to stay in the European Single Market while many Labour members want a Second Referendum with the option to stay in the EU. To be honest as well I was surprised given KJ's enthusiasm for the European Project that Jaz said in an interview a while back that EU membership wasn't suitable for Britain while supporting  EU membership for European countries on the Continent...perhaps he can see what lies ahead? It remains to be seen whether we leave the EU next year.

I think he should go because he lied about the wreath-laying and
generally behaved like a totally tedious politician, which he's meant
to be an antidote to (to some extent - I know he is a career
politician but he presents himself as something of an outsider with
strict morals and principles) and because he has successfully called
on others to resign for this (admittedly to parliament, which is
worse). I also think he should go because he hasn't opposed Brexit
forcefully enough (because he supports it, obviously - it's just his
party that doeasn't) and we desperately need an effective opposition
when it comes to this heartbreaking disaster unfolding before our
eyes.

Shame, as he was a breath of fresh air at first and has many good
qualities, and I also don't think he actually is antisemitic - he's
just handled the whole thing terribly.
