If you really want to understand the constant barrage of anti Corbyn media and tweets then @OwenJones84 explained it all, 3 years ago - newstatesman.com/politics/2015/…
"Labour will reprogramme our economy so that it works for the people of Britain and not against them" - labourlist.org/2018/07/build-…
What we are seeing are the spasms of an old neoliberal order reacting to the existential threat that is both brexit and Jeremy Corbyn. Expect much more, creating a society for the many not the few was never going to be easy.

The most popular option every time - backed on average by just over a quarter - has been to leave without a deal at all - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi… ... well, I'd prefer GE followed by Corbyn + Brexit (preferably WTO but EEA docked to EFTA is fine) but that's a bit specialised.
... what I do find amazing is that "no deal" still tops the options after years of continuous campaigning both online and offline to overturn the referendum against no effective opposition. That is fairly spectacular, almost unprecedented.
But as always, do remember these are polls and not reality. Lest we forget 23/Jun/16 ...
Populus had Remain 10% ahead
ComRes had Remain 6%+
YouGov had Remain 4%+
Ipsos Mori had Remain 4%+
... One of the few dissenting voices was Opinium, who produced that recent poll.

X : Who created Wardley Maps?
Me : Err ... the clue is in the name?
X : Are they new?
Me : In terms of historical scales - yes. It's only 14 years old.
X : Why haven't I heard of them before?
Me : Because the world is large and techniques take time to diffuse?
X : Could you create me a map of my organisation?
Me : I could but it wouldn't help you.
X : Why?
Me : Because you wouldn't know what to do with it. You really need to learn to map for yourself.
X : How do I do that?
Me : Start here - medium.com/wardleymaps - just add practice.
X : How long will it take?
Me : To become really good at mapping, for it to become natural .. many years.
X : I don't have the time, how do I speed it up?
Me : Well, you could decide to actually start and use it i.e. practice. There is no shortcut for practice.

+1 -> "our ancestor chiefs understood bows, horses, and agriculture, our contemporary chiefs (and those in the media responsible for scrutiny) generally do not understand their equivalents, and are often less experienced in managing complex organisations than their predecessors"
+100 -> "We do not have a problem with ‘too much cynicism’ - we
have a problem with too much trust in people and institutions that are not fit to control so much."
+∞ -> "Most politicians, officials, and advisers operate with fragments of philosophy, little knowledge of maths or science and little experience in well-managed complex organisations."

<#BelieveSurviviors #StopKavanaugh Thread>
Sen @JeffFlake said Kavanaugh wouldn't be confirmed if he lied to the Senate. Well @WeDemandJustice counts 20+: medium.com/@demandjustice…

Needs more attn, so I made a thread of 20+ sources proving his lies. Cont⤵
washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
1/
Lie: Kavanaugh said “When this allegation first arose, I welcomed any kind of investigation."
Fact: “Kavanaugh did not publicly welcome an investigation in two public statements denying the allegations and an in-depth interview with Fox News."
nbcnews.com/card/fact-chec…
2/
 Lie: Kavanaugh said he “never attended a gathering like the one Dr. Ford describes in her allegation.”
Fact: Kavanaugh admitted that his calendars “show a few weekday gatherings at friends’ houses after a workout or just to meet up and have some beers. washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…

[Ron Howard narrating]
They looked nothing like each other
Kavanaugh was an absolute garbage candidate to begin with, why didn’t they just nominate someone whose candidacy wouldn’t inevitably lead them to “perhaps a very different-looking doppelgänger committed the sexual assault” jfc
A good compromise would be to not put Kavanaugh or the random dude currently being accused of sexual assault as cover for Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court.

This excellent scoop by @JoeWatts_ shows why Labour’s only option is to front up and articulate Jeremy Corbyn’s foreign policy programme not try to disavow it: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
As I wrote yesterday, Team Corbyn is split on whether to concede or defend Corbyn’s associations and beliefs, so they do effectively do neither: newstatesman.com/politics/stagg…
But there is a bottomless pit of these associations and links. The only way to stop them dominating is to place them in a context so they stop being newsworthy.

You Mark Curtis & the Corbyn cult are IMO dangerous idiots if you downplay this.
A Muslim Brotherhood salute is a Muslim Brotherhood salute - be it Egypt, Syria or Turkey. If a Westerner flashed this salute it shows either support for the MB and its vision - or UTTER STUPIDITY.
That Cameron's UK together with Obama's USA have made a pact with "political Islam" is a story that Syria has felt for 7 bloody years ... and if "commentators" of the Western "pro-Syria space" are now downplaying the MB - I feel vindicated for NEVER having supported them before.
To my mind such antics make Corbyn feel more and more dangerous for the Middle East. Like many of the Pseudo-Left (which is IMO what Labour is) that call themselves "pro-Palestine" but constantly stab the Resistance and Palestinians in the back by attacking Hezbollah and Syria.

Globalist Elites & anyone associated with, married to, infiltrated into are a part of this giant Cabal (Deep State) and 'We The People' are attempting to unravel it. Knowing how/where/why it operates is key to taking it down.
