Not content with running a smear campaign all through his bid to become labour Leader here in the UK, now that their campaign has failed they're going far overboard with following him at 1:30 in the morning when he clearly is not going to answer any of their questions at that time, and opening the man's taxi after he has closed the door behind him is completely disgusting behaviour. If the media want to be treated with respect they should show some in kind.

The commie?


If wanting a fair society means that a person is a 'commie' then brand me and Jeremy as Bloody Communists. There is no excuse whatsoever though to be treating any individual this way.

I hear you. The media can be responsible for a lot of damage.
What ever happened to respect? Anything goes to feed the gossip hungry minions who live off the garbage spewed from 'the press'.
True journalism has my respect, not 'the press'.

You just had an election.

The conservatives won a landslide victory even after Miliband went as far left as Labour has been since it's early days.

He lost very badly.

Europe is already full of welfare states that are failing. The socialists in Greece and Hollande in France are perfect examples of how insane these ideas are.

I know the Germans would love to see a socialist in 10 Downing...

Believe that..

In the same edition that carried the story about Sanders' run for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Washington Post ran a story, "The Bernie Sanders of Britain," about the Marxist who has taken over leadership of the British Labor Party. The online version carried the softer headline, "Leftist Jeremy Corbyn elected leader of Britain's Labour Party." Corbyn "has previously called for Britain to leave NATO, favors unilateral nuclear disarmament and champions the nationalization of vast sectors of the economy, including the railways and the energy industries," the paper reported. Corbyn admires Russia's Vladimir Putin and excuses the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Some of Jeremy's policies:

He wants to end Austerity.
Create a National Education Service
Re-Nationalise public services and utilities
Eradicate zero hour contracts

Fight back against the victimising of the poorest in society.(This is the one that brands him Communist).
Because majority of Benefit claimants are not on benefits because they want to be. For whatever reason some people struggle to find and keep work. Calling these people lazy is cruel and only succeeds to create a divide in society, a divide that has been around for thousands of years and is just plain unnecessary in what today, should be a modern society.

Raise Taxes for the richest: ooh.. must be a communist for that, no democratic, or republican party has ever raised taxes for the rich right?

Quantitative Easing: This one I'm not convinced on. It's a risky move, but bankers have said it could work.

Is there some Marxist ideals in here. sure, but what is wrong with that?

More to the point. What does it matter if he's communist anyway? Write about that if you want to, but following him around at 1 a.m. when he's on his way home and invading his personal space is totally unacceptable. (When he's behind a closed door, only an idiot would open up that door unless he was authorised to do so. In some parts of America that would get you shot)

Being a communist, is what makes him a pinko commie.

Perhaps, your country's media is growing tired of the communist b.s..

Satirical video editors Cassetteboy have released a new video poking fun at the Conservative Party’s 'attack ad' against newly-elected Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Cassetteboy, who has over 100,000 followers on YouTube, is famous for cutting and editing speeches to turn seemingly innocuous phrases into politically cutting videos.

In the latest outing, Cassetteboy has spliced together speeches from David Cameron’s speeches to create a witty critique of the Conservative Party’s scare movie that took Jeremy Corbyn’s words on the death of Osama Bin Laden out of context.

'Is David Cameron a threat to context?' remixes the PM’s words to make it appear as though Cameron holds "contempt for the poorest in the country" and wants to "kick the sick."

According to the video, Cameron thinks "you’re either rich or you’re dead."

In a reference to the 1.21 minute attack ad released by the Tories shortly after Corbyn became Labour leader, Cassetteboy claims the PM "takes opponents words out of context."

The video adds that Cameron "turns video black and white to make it look scary" and "insults the electorate with shoddy attack ads."

The Conservatives were left red-faced after being forced to temporarily remove their YouTube video attacking Corbyn because it breached copyright rules.

Freelance videographer Adrian Cousins lodged a copyright claim stating his material had been featured in the film without his permission.

The video, titled 'Labour: a threat to our national security', selectively quotes the Islington MP calling Palestine's Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah "friends," and points out he once called the 2011 assassination of Osama Bin Laden at the hands of US special forces a 'tragedy'.

It also highlights his well-known opposition to the renewal of Britain's Trident nuclear weapons arsenal and claims he would see Britain's armed forces disbanded.

The video uses sinister music and black-and-white footage to create a 'scary' atmosphere.

A number of Conservative figures, including Prime Minister David Cameron, tweeted on Sunday that Labour is now a threat to "our national security, our economic security and your family's security."

The suggestion was ridiculed on social media, with public figures including activist and Queen guitarist Brian May asking if it was some kind of joke.

Corbyn has insisted that when he referred to delegations from Hamas and Hezbollah as 'friends,' he did so in the context of discussing a resolution to the Middle East conflict.

The Labour leader's comments concerning Bin Laden were also taken out of context by the Tory video.

Corbyn told Press TV at the time of Bin Laden's death: "No attempt whatsoever that I can see to arrest [Bin Laden] and put him on trial, to go through that process."

"This was an assassination attempt, and is yet another tragedy, upon a tragedy, upon a tragedy," he added.
