Belaboured






As a neutral I am fascinated by the comings and goings of the English Labour Party. OK I'm not such a neutral, I have to say here and now that Welsh Labour are 'wankers' but the machinations of the Corbyn/Benn head to head the other night are continuing to cause ripples despite the result of the Oldham Bi-election. I caught Alan Johnson's speech and I was not impressed with his slight and jibe. I heard Benn's speech on the radio and thought that he had moved to the Government Benches. Labour has been 'belaboured' by the media since Jeremy Corbyn became leader. The media and Blairite agenda is extremely strong and for them to use the Syrian smokescreen as an excuse to undermine him and look for a new leader is a symbol of our shallow value society. Integrity and deep held convictions hold for nothing when you're at the Drive-In at McDonalds.  It was good to hear Dave Nellist being interviewed on BBC Radio 4 but then a Blairite came on to question their choice of guest. The Tory Lights appear to be very worried about the direction in which the Labour Party is going but it was a very honourable thing that Corbyn did, to allow his MPs a Free Vote, a vote with their conscience. The media are now saying that because of this, the Labour Party are split. They want the Labour Party to be split because the Establishment are scared.  Under the distraction of a bombing campaign they are looking to come down hard on a Party that could potentially destabilise the British Class System by the Election of 2020. Unfortunately for Jeremy Corbyn, if he manages to remain leader and I sincerely hope that he does, he will inherit a conflict from gung ho David Cameron who will gladly hand over the reigns and sit back with William Hague in the House of Lords and watch a man of peace having to continue an act of war against an invisible enemy and ideology. By that stage perhaps, smiling British Tommies will have their boots and heads on the ground of the Middle East because whatever happens in the 'BeLaboured' Party I am convinced that we in the Western Shamocracy are dealing with an opponent who are determined not to be defeated. If they are, they will have taken a lot of us with them by the end.
