7 Points we can't Afford to Forget Regarding the General Election and it's Aftermath

1 - Theresa May is doing a deal with the DUP
The slaps, kicks and punches to the face of the British public are ceaseless.
Throughout their election campaign the Conservatives and their establishment media accused Jeremy Corbyn of sympathising with the IRA. Now May is doing a deal with the DUP! A bigoted, backward Irish party associated with terrorism. I am genuinely finding it hard to process and comprehend this level of hypocrisy.
Perhaps the worst thing, though, is that peace in Northern Ireland is being risked. Even John Major, the Conservative PM during the Northern Ireland peace process in the 1990s, has agreed with this point, saying May's choice is a mistake.
Thus we have 3 obvious, highly detrimental elements of May's deal with the DUP.
- Overwhelming, all-consuming, mind-numbing hypocrisy.
- An association with backward, bigoted views that undo and tarnish many of Britain's developments in equality. Regardless of whether the DUP's views/policies are applied or not, it’s the principle. It's what the DUP represent.
- A risk to the peace process in Northern Ireland. May's deal dismisses and trivialises in one fell swoop all the horrendous death and terrorism that occurred in Northern Ireland and Britain during "The Troubles".
That this deal is even being considered is abhorrent and should destroy the reputation of the Conservative party.
2 - Austerity
May and her party don't care about people suffering under austerity. This is why they started it in the first place. They didn't need to start it because our country had and still has sufficient wealth. Such wealth is just concentrated in the hands of the few.
Austerity takes money from essential public services that poorer people heavily rely on. Social care, education, healthcare, the police and armed forces.
If things were looked at clearly by the whole country then everyone would see that Corbyn is different, this is why he is such a unique and admirable politician. He is sensitive to issues of war, poverty and inequality . He is in touch with these issues. He really understands them and knows what needs to be done about them.
In the run up to the general election May didn't give any proper indication that she and her party wanted to reduce austerity. Their tune afterwards, however, has changed. They saw that Labour did better than expected and have surmised that this was largely because Labour promoted an anti-austerity agenda. Thus, purely in order to gain more votes, not for "the national interest" or for working people (if it was for these things they would have alleviated austerity by now), the Conservatives are now brazenly considering stealing Labour's anti-austerity agenda. They are even stealing Labour's slogans.
One gets the impression that everything is a game to the Conservatives. Tories are by and large very rich individuals out of touch with ordinary people, playing vicious manipulative games and living in a neoliberal social environment that overwhelmingly favours their individualistic, uncaring, skewed ethos and policies.
3 - May and the Conservatives edited footage to promulgate a lie about Corbyn
The Conservatives know that Corbyn isn't a terrorist sympathiser. They simply used fear and exploited the recent terror attacks, lying about a man who has dedicated his life to anti-war causes, to manipulate the public. A humane party worth voting for would never, ever have done this.
4 - May made an arrogant assumption about the electorate
In calling a general election May and the Conservatives, instead of focusing on "the national interest" and Brexit negotiations, arrogantly assumed they would win by a landslide, hoping they could exert more control over Britain.
5 - May wouldn't debate her opposition
In a further act of arrogance and another blatant slap in the face to the British public, our "strong and stable" PM wouldn't even discuss her policies with her opposition. It's as though she wanted the public to just blindly vote for her.
6 - The Conservatives paid off Google and YouTube to spread their fear and hate-filled campaign messages
The Conservatives paid Google so that if you searched for, say, the Labour Party, the first result would be a link to a vicious page on their website which takes quotes of Corbyn out of context to form a lie about him.
The Conservatives paid off YouTube to have their edited footage of Corbyn (as addressed in point 3) precede any song as an advert.
7 - May holds a first strike nuclear policy
May's stance means using nuclear weapons as an attack and she was not questioned about this during the election.
If May did decide to attack a country with a nuclear weapon this would likely encourage them to retaliate with their own nukes. It's not like Hiroshima and Nagasaki anymore; a number of countries have nuclear weapons now too.
Nuclear weapons, as was seen in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, wipe out vast swathes of life, probably including hundreds and thousands of civilians, and would destroy or toxify future life too.
May's approach would either kill hundreds of thousands of the opposing country's civilians AND our civilians or would simply kill the opposing country's civilians. The non-civilians, bearing in mind, would be in safe houses; this point must surely make the average person realise why there is such an easy willingness to commit this act on May's part? We, the masses, would bear the brunt of her actions.
If you think about it, May has called it wrong on foreign policy throughout her life, Iraq and Libya being the main examples and, so it seems, will continue to mindlessly do so, never learning from her mistakes. Don't you want a PM genuinely committed to achieving diplomatic solutions to international conflicts?
Ending Remarks
Although at times I might come across as passionate and use emotive words to emphasise my points, what I am saying has happened and, I believe, is by and large indisputably accurate.
I'm not lying, like the Conservatives did about Corbyn. I'm not trying to smear anyone. I am simply stating what I've observed in a passionate way.
What is essential is that the popular press - the BBC, national newspapers and popular TV and radio shows - actually addresses and interrogates these issues. They don't have to address them exactly as I have, but at least address them.
The wider British public must be informed and educated.

Breaking News - Establishment Media is Manipulative!

The establishment media, which encompasses the BBC as well as the billionaire-owned rags, decides what we talk and think about and what's important.

Today or this week or this month you are all going to talk about Diane Abbott. We will make you believe that she is utterly incompetent for getting a figure wrong, because this is what the Conservatives have told us to do. We will have normally intelligent people actually disliking this inspiring woman for a minor human mistake.

For the next year and a half we are going to tell you that Jeremy Corbyn is weak, over and over and over and over. We are going to shamelessly pummel this into your mind. We are going to use emotive language and will manipulate anything we can to fit into this unfounded, inaccurate picture, because this is what neoliberalism dictates.

This year you'll think that Theresa May is a strong leader who will save our economy even though all the evidence contradicts such views.

Also we are going to make you think being a strong or weak leader is all-important and we will completely ignore other pressing issues in doing so. You see, we decide what's important.

For the next two months you'll think Corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser. This issue will dominate all the debates and interviews in the run-up to the election, when its not even remotely worth talking about.

In the run up to the election we will omit or place barely any emphasis on the British government's and May's connections with Saudi Arabia and the plight of Yemen who Saudi Arabia is bombing.

In the run up to this election we won't explore May's connection, as Home Secretary, with Salman Abedi, the alleged Manchester-attack perpetrator.

We won't place nearly enough emphasis on the sickening state of the NHS and the upsetting living conditions of disabled people under austerity and how this is a result of the Conservatives. Instead we'll talk about Brexit until we start foaming at the mouth and falling over backwards.

We won't properly address civilian deaths in foreign countries and we won't explore the links between extremism and our foreign policy.

We will interrogate Corbyn for not being willing to commit genocide via Trident and we won't interrogate May for being willing to do so.

We will discourage you from thinking outside the box.

We create the box as we decide the terms of debate... Not you!

Go back to bed Britain, you are in safe hands.

Jeremy Corbyn is a Resilient Politician and Highly Competent Leader

Corbyn won 2 leadership elections by a landslide. He was voted in by the hundreds of thousands who believed in him and yet the parliamentary labour party, with their coup, stabbed him and their own members in the back. I wonder what they are thinking now? 

Thus Corbyn triumphantly survived 2 elections, an attempted mutiny and, not to forget, a relentless shameful onslaught by the billionaire-owned and establishment press that continues to this day. 

With the weight of the billionaire and establishment press, the elite, the Conservatives, the foundations of neoliberalism and, previously, his own party against him, Corbyn, in reducing the Conservative's majority, has done phenomenally well. His political resilience, some might say strength, is unparalleled.

General Election 2017 - Hope for Britain

After the 2017 general election tension remains.

I can feel the tide turning when it comes to the general public’s perception of Corbyn and his views. I can see the veil lifting from the eyes of Corbyn’s many detractors and sceptics.

The Conservatives are going to find it very hard to recover from their ultimate recent blunder and with the rise of social media and alternative news websites it is getting increasingly hard to manipulate and brainwash the public.

In the past 30 years or so, with neoliberalism, perpetual war and austerity, many people were and are at (or beyond) breaking point. Then Corbyn, an honest politician and stalwart activist, wholly committed to anti-war and anti-inequality causes throughout his life, becomes leader of the opposition.

On the one hand you had the overwhelming response from Corbyn’s real supporters, who from the start saw that he was an honest principled man steadfastly devoted to social justice. On the other hand you had the Conservatives, the weight of the billionaire press and the careerist new-labour MPs opposed to him.

The billionaire-owned and establishment press have indisputably and systematically attacked Corbyn since he became leader of the Labour party. He's been called unelectable, a weak leader, hard-left, shabby, unrealistic, a terrorist sympathiser, a threat to national security, economically illiterate, dithering. Those who saw clearly from the beginning knew that this was unfounded media bias that reverses reality, but millions were taken in. Now, I believe, this election, it's result and Theresa May's choices have brought these accusations into accurate and appropriate relief for the wider population.

Corbyn was thought of as weak; now May is weak.

Corbyn was thought of as dithering; now May is dithering.

Corbyn was thought of as an apologist for terror; now May is an apologist for terror.

Corbyn was thought of as a threat to national security; now May is a threat to national security.

There is uneasiness, regret and worry in the Conservative party and the establishment, which is fun to watch. Against all previous odds, against the weight of the billionaires, the Conservatives, new-Labour and, most impressive, against the ideological foundations of our prevailing social system (neoliberalism) Corbyn and his party fought remarkably well and stopped the Conservatives from achieving a majority. An impressive, admirable feat. The pride I feel as a Corbyn supporter and member of the Labour party is great.

Thus on one side it has become hard to deny that Corbyn is a uniquely honest, likeable and resilient leader. On the other side it has become hard to deny that May is an inconsistent, dishonest, weak and very desperate leader. I can see a crack forming in the Conservative party, an initial sign of disintegration.

The billionaire-owned rags have also suffered a great defeat. They stooped to sickening lows in this election, accusing principled people of being terrorist sympathisers and exploiting the raw, fresh violence of the London and Manchester attacks for completely selfish political ends. They have essentially failed in their vicious attempts.

I can see a wave in the distance; a more informed and fed-up general public who have glimpsed the corruption and lies at the heart of our establishment.

Thus, coupled with the admirable presence and increasing rise of independent online news sites and social media, I am hoping it has taken this election to reveal the true colours of the Conservatives and likewise the true colours of Jeremy Corbyn and his transformed inspirational Labour party to the wider public.

This is just the beginning and I am hopeful.

National Security with Reference to May and Corbyn

Military Intervention

Jeremy Corbyn believes, like many others, that our military intervention in the Middle East and Libya has incited further hatred for the Western world and has destabilised areas creating a hotbed for extremism. Corbyn's own words prior and in reference to the Iraq war sum this up perfectly “it will set off a spiral of conflict, of hate, of misery, of desperation that will fuel the wars, the conflict, the terrorism, the depression and the misery of future generations".

Corbyn was involved in anti-Iraq war demonstrations and co-founded the Stop the War Coalition. Theresa May and many other MPs voted in favour of the Iraq war, in favour of bombing Libya and in favour bombing Syria. Terror attacks in the UK have only increased with time.

May and the Manchester Attack

We can't ignore the fact that as Home Secretary May allowed LIFG jihadists to travel freely across Europe. LIFG jihadists were effectively being employed by the Conservative government, "first to remove Mu'ammar Gadaffi in Libya, then to join al-Qaida affiliated groups in Syria" (John Pilger). The alleged Manchester attacker Salman Abedi was part of the LIFG and the FBI warned MI5 of him just last year. See Pilger for more info.

May's Government and Saudi Arabia

Islamic State, which has claimed responsibility for the recent attacks in London, Manchester and other European cities, stems from, as Mark Curtis says, "the ideology promoted by the ruling family in Saudi Arabia, Wahhabism, who were at least until recently funding and backing IS". Not only have Saudi Arabia been funding terrorism and promoting extremist ideologies, but they have been bombing Yemen since 2015, with weapons we have sold them. Curtis states "the terrible bombing of Yemen by Saudi aircraft supplied by Britain, armed by Britain and conducted by British-trained pilots is but the latest episode in extreme UK support for Saudi foreign policy. The blood covers the hands of the entire British establishment".

Saudi Arabia is the British government's ally. We have a relationship with them that May has defended on 2 occasions (see links below). May, the Conservative government and the establishment press deceive and mislead on the issue of Saudi Arabia because of self-serving interests. See Curtis for more info.

Corbyn, contrary to the Conservative government, wants to stop selling Saudi Arabia arms and thus wants to help sever funding to Islamic State.

Police and Armed Forces

In spite of warnings from police officers (see links below), May's government drastically cut the police as part of their austerity program. If anyone it is police officers themselves that I trust on this issue.

Steve Hilton, who worked with David Cameron on his coalition strategy, has said that seeing as though May was Home Secretary for 6 years she is ultimately responsible for UK security failures and is rightly surprised that not only has she not resigned but is standing for election.

May and her government have also cut the armed forces. Corbyn and his party, however, pledge to put more money into the police and armed forces.

Here is a recent comment on the police cut issue worth checking out.

A Threat to our National Security?

Steve Hilton, who worked with David Cameron on his coalition strategy, has made some good points.

On Twitter Hilton has pointed out that Theresa May, who was Home Secretary for 6 years before becoming PM, is ultimately responsible for UK security failures. In light of recent terror attacks, Hilton is rightly shocked that Theresa May is not only not resigning but is standing for election.

May's government, in spite of their waffle and deceit, has cut the police and armed forces (see links below). 

May and her cabinet have consistently voted in favour of foreign military intervention, which undoubtedly has, in the prophetic words of Jeremy Corbyn, "set off a spiral of conflict, of hate, of misery", that now greatly impinges on European people and Britain's national security.

We can't ignore the fact that as Home Secretary May allowed LIFG jihadists to travel freely across Europe, as they were being essentially employed by the Conservative government. The alleged Manchester attacker Salman Abedi was part of the LIFG and the FBI warned MI5 of him (see John Pilger for more info).

On top of this the Conservatives, to this day, are trying to brainwash the public into thinking Jeremy Corbyn is a terrorist sympathiser.

I'm not sure if the Conservatives can comprehend the following, but I'm not trying to smear or slander anyone here. I'm not being dishonest. I'm not trying to manipulate or brainwash. I'm simply stating what I've observed and what the evidence has told me. If you can detect a certain unhappy attitude here it stems from witnessing a lot of manipulation and dishonesty in the establishment rags and the Conservative party's underhanded control and power tactics.

Who is the real threat to our national security? May has some questions to answer.

Conservative Campaign Tactics

Jeremy Corbyn is a sensible, humane and mature politician, and look at how he's been treated for the past two years.

One of the Conservatives' main campaign tactics is inciting fear; fear, for example, that one individual, in this case Corbyn, is a threat to our security. Other tactics include distracting from issues that matter, as with the uneven emphasis placed on Brexit when there are many more pressing issues. And lying or not responding to questions in a meaningful way. All these were demonstrated with Theresa May on Question Time a few nights ago.

An example of lying or not responding in a meaningful way would be that May frequently says "we have put record levels of funding in the NHS" when all the evidence (see first four links below) says otherwise. The Conservatives are either completely disconnected from ordinary people and the effects of austerity or they simply don't care and are lying. Can't the majority of the public see this yet? An example of desperate fear-mongering is illustrated in their vicious campaign video which has taken video clips of Corbyn out of context to paint an untrue picture that he's a terrorist sympathiser.

Only an insecure, vicious and dishonest party would use such tactics. Thomas Clark, the author of Another Angry Voice, makes a very good point in one of his recent posts (see last, fifth, link below), where he points out Corbyn's reaction to the recent allegation of Conservative election fraud. Whereas the Conservatives would have unflinchingly leapt at something like this if it had happened with Corbyn, with feral glee and hunger in their eyes, Corbyn states

"Nobody should be commenting on the details of an ongoing case. The police must be allowed to act independently to investigate on the basis of any evidence they’ve got, and the Crown Prosecution Service must be allowed to make its decision on whether to proceed on a case.

It is a very bad road when democratically elected politicians start offering a running commentary on independent judicial processes. We have to have total separation of political and judicial powers in this country.

All politicians need to be extremely careful – politicians are elected to parliament to be held to account by the public"
