I happened to read the Standard after work yesterday - the attacks on Corbyn were from all angles, on most pages. Their other big scoop was that he’s ‘anti-festivals’ as they’d found a letter from him expressing concern that the Wireless Festival was disturbing his constituents. Osborne had clearly rubbed his hands with glee at the opportunity to attack Corbyn’s youth credentials...
Defenders of Corbyn are now being told they're too defensive - but when you look at the smears that come out every day it would be hard not to be.
Has everyone seen the Daily Telegraph article from yesterday reporting that they had a photo of Corbyn making the Muslim Brotherhood’s ‘terrorist salute’?
Well, dig a little deeper and you find it’s actually a widely used gesture adopted by Egyptian protestors opposing the Sisi regime and Rabat massacre and there are photos of the Nobel Peace prize winning Malala Yousafzai using it.
The trouble is that most people will just read the Telegraph headline and not look beyond it...
There will be posters here who’ll say he shouldn’t have been mixed up in this stuff anyway. I disagree - Corbyn is a public servant who has used his position to highlight the suffering of others at home and abroad. Isn’t that what public servants should do?
