Corbyn & the peace process II (2 to go)

Blair threatens to expel MP over Adams visit

'The Labour leadership last night threatened to eject Jeremy Corbyn from the parliamentary party for his "reprehensible" behaviour in inviting Gerry Adams to the House of Commons today.' 1/5
Donald Dewar, Labour Chief Whip

"a defiance of the steps taken by House authorities."

"particularly reprehensible in the light of the recent event involving the IRA. If he persists it will be matter of disciplinary action within the party."

Corbyn was undaunted. 2/5
It was Gerry Adams who saved Corbyn, by cancelling the meeting at 3 am. Meeting Corbyn & Benn privately & then holding a press conference on College Green outside Parliament. 3/5
However, Adams let slip the reason why he cancelled the meeting:

'he admitted that Labour allies were far more valuable to him if they remained within the party whip'.

Adams & Corbyn were allies. 4/5
'I think Corbyn is secure in the knowledge that it won't be blown up while Gerry Adams is inside.' 5/5

Threads continue at 20:00 tonight.

Ken Loach in 1987 tried to direct Perdition.

Written by Jim Allen, it was based on soviet antisemitic propaganda which 'took the greatest tragedy in Jewish history, the Holocaust, and transformed it into a product of Jewish treachery from which Zionists benefitted.'
'that Zionism and Hitler "needed" one another. According to one of the lead characters in the play, the Jews of Hungary "were murdered not just by the force of German arms but by calculated treachery of their own Jewish leaders".'
Dr Stephen Roth: "Perdition is a libel against all those who lived through and fought and mostly perished in the Holocaust."

Know who Ken Loach really is. 3/3

Labour leadership hopeful Ian Lavery:

Is a convicted football hooligan.

"That is why I have absolutely no respect for the police." 1/7
He was actually fined £200, not £1,000 that he claims.

Perhaps he might have remembered how much it was if he had paid the fine himself, and not got the NUM to pay it on his behalf, something which they appear to have done on many occasions (see upcoming thread). 2
He evidently liked showing his lack of respect for the police during the miners' strike, being the first arrested in Northumberland & was arrested at least '6 or 7 times' [too many to count?], usually for assaults on the police. 3

Exclusive.

You have heard the claims that Corbyn wanted to close down MI5, here is the evidence:

'bosses striking force: dissolution of special squads... Special Branch, MI5'. 1/6
Corbyn was elected (in 1st place) to the steering committee of the Socialist Campaign for a Labour Victory (SCLV).

Promoting a manifesto that not only campaigned to dissolve MI5, but that 'the capitalist police are an enemy of the working class'. 2
SCLV manifesto mixed sensible ideas, along with current crazy Labour policies, along with even more lunacy.

'Make the bosses pay, not the working class. Millions for hospitals, not a penny for defence!'

'Nationalise the banks & financial institutions without compensation.' 3

In nearly every major riot over the last 40 years, Corbyn has either supported the rioters or castigated the police.

For example Corbyn campaigned for the 'rioters' who in 2009 attacked Downing St & the Israeli embassy. 1/10

Of course Corbyn himself was at this event and was one of the rabble-rousers who spurred on the crowd. 2

During the 1994 Hyde Park riots, Corbyn who had chaired the demo said:

"The police deliberately charged the demonstrators"

And "blamed police incompetence for the way in which the demonstration erupted into violence." 3

This is what the Iranian's got for £20,000.

Corbyn: "recognise it's a very successful country in many ways, there are more women than men in university".

If you ignore the oppression, the hanging of gay people from cranes, the executions etc. 1/10
'Marking the 35th Anniversary of Islamic Revolution in Iran'

'The case for Iran - Jeremy B Corbyn (MP)'

Take a look at the other speakers, nice bunch. 2
At the event, Corbyn gave a potted history of post 1979 Iran (which omitted any mention of the Ayatollahs). 3
