Tory myths and misconceptions Part 1

Terrorist Sympathiser :

Jeremy Corbyn has publicly condemned the IRA bombings, and all the bombings during the civil war in Northern Ireland in an interview with Sophie Ridge on Sky News.

He actually said “I condemn all the bombing by both the loyalists and the IRA”

Jeremy Corbyn was openly and honestly talking to the IRA to try to get them to stop the bombings and negotiate a peaceful settlement, Margaret Thatcher was holding secret negotiations with the IRA whilst brazenly lying to the British public that "we do not negotiate with terrorists".

Then there's the serving Tory councillor Maria Gatland who was literally a member of the IRA in the 1970s and worked to smuggle guns for them to kill civilians with.

The unelected Tory peer David James who has openly admitted that he used to launder money for the IRA.

Anti-Semite :

While anti-semitism should not be tolerated, it's also important not to conflate anti-semitism with genuine criticism of Israeli domestic and foreign policy.

‘there exists no reliable, empirical evidence to support the notion that there is a higher prevalence of anti-semitic attitudes within the Labour Party than any other political party.’

House of Commons Home Affairs Committee 2017.

Labour party were already investigated and the findings based on a group including 5 Tory MP's said they couldn't find any evidence that there was any higher incidence of anti-semitism in Labour as opposed to any other party.

On average, just 8% of MPs signed the five UK Parliamentary motions that condemned anti-semitism.

Corbyn signed all five.

Corbyn has been an ineffective leader :

Corbyn has won 2 peace awards, been arrested for protesting apartheid and reshaped the dialog in British politics despite character assassination from the press.

At the same time he has restored the historical ideology of the Labour party, chipped away the Tory majority and stood up for the disabled, vulnerable and victims of the Tory social policy best described as Lingchi. He has increased the membership to over 600,000 and put the party finances back in order.

If Corbyn is so ineffective as a leader how has he forced the biggest defeat of government in British political history ? We've also had 32 Tory resignations from the Government since June 2017, the government has been defeated more times in the last 18 months than the governments of John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and David Cameron combined.

But the Tabloids say :

80% of our media is owned by Tory Donor, Tax Dodging, Millionaire Non Doms who would have to pay their fair share of taxes if Corbyn was elected.

We are also 40th in the World for freedom of the press.

We have one of the least trusted written media in Europe.

In terms of overall figures, the Daily Mail chalked up 50 offences. The Daily Express was second worst with 19, then The Sun with 17, the Daily Telegraph with 10, The Times with 8, the Daily Star with 6 and the Daily Mirror with 5.
