I can’t deny, this is delightful to watch.
Saying that the terrorists who murdered Parisians, calling them pagans and prostitutes, chose to do that and were not forced to do so by the West is disloyal? It is almost incomprehensible. Almost because, after all, Corbyn and his team are drawn from the ultra-Left of politics. They have little interest in domestic politics – an arena in which it is their aim to seek, find and nurture grievances. Not for them the power of government – that involves too much compromise. Protest and opposition are preferred and defeat embraced because victory is the ultimate betrayal. Foreign policy is the arena of choice. A binary world in which the West are wrong and their opponents right. One in which America is the enemy. Understand that and support for the IRA, Putin, jihadism, Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran falls into place. And loyalty is easily defined – thinking the opposite about foreign policy to the average voter. No wonder Pat McFadden was sacked for opposing terrorism, no wonder Labour are in the wilderness under Corbyn.
Not shredded enough…
Lumping Putin in with jihadists is quite dishonest.
what the blazes is it about brit elites? in general terms, including the likes of main party leaders like corbyn. where does the disloyalty come from? Im thinking the cold war spy scandal,kim philby et al. the very TOP levels of brit espionage and . . . . they were REALLY working for the russians !!
so where, where, where does that inclination COME FROM ????
oh, and including royals. just google ‘duke of windsor nazi sympathizer’. the inclination towards betrayal has a long, long history.
my hunch is it is tolerated because at some level, brits are deeply on board with class structure. even when it hurts their own personal interests and in that regards, the upper class, ie in this modern time, ALL elites, are given a pass for any disloyalty whatsoever, in order to maintain, in order to give the appearance of, tolerating and supporting the status quo i.e. class structure.
