1. G R E A T! (If there were another ‘FDR’ style of leader about today he would fund this organisation to educate the public!)

2. Ah!!! The guy omitted the strange excursion to Israel made by Priti Patel avter the 2017 election….

3. Corbyn is the lowest denomination ever in British politics.

4. In Spain we know well hoy the media, judiciary, economic power, …started a hunting on left decente anda honest politicians

5. Politicians oath of allegiance. Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you and your country can do for Israel 😢😢😢😢

6. So this is what you do when your mainline Protestant church has shrunk away to a shadow of its former self….

7. thank you jeremy , god help the gazan people the are humans too !

8. Im kicking myself now. I should have voted for Corbyn

9. Reforms- 1st reform get rid of Starmer, his careless remarks cited the war in the East

10. Hatred breeds disasters, but hate is an illness that will destroy the hater.

11. This guy sounds like a loony conspiracy theorist.

12. I'm still astounded by how many left of centre Labour members bought into the Anti Semitic BS of the right wing in the UK, villifying Corbyn, members (even Jewish defenders of Corbyn) and many decent politicians… unfathomable…
    It cost the 2019 election where the awful Trumpian Boris Johnson became PM and the hideous austerity, corruption and incompetence of the Tories continue after 13 long years…

13. The persecution was a black mark in our history, for sure.
    But the fact remains that Corbyn was far from ready to lead the country.
    As we have learned subsequently, neither was anyone else, with farcical levels of inadequacy resulting.

    From what I recall of the times, it wasn't anti-semitism initially that prevented him from succeeding, it was the fact he refused to "play the game".
    By that I mean the "traditional" modern game of the ass-kissing smiling "pretty face" – he wasn't shiny enough. He wasn't "media" enough.
    He was completely unwilling to cosy up to big business, to corporate interest – to, essentially, oligarchs.

    He was presented by the media as a grumpy old man, a disagreeable bore, a "twit". He did very little to change that perception. Why?
    No point – the knives were out. He could do nothing to prevent that. He knew it.
    But he and his comrades struck such a chord with the younger people in this country. What they presented wasn't massively radical – much of it is already practiced in more left leaning countries quite successfully – but in the UK? – can't be having that, right?

    The anti-semitism schtick came later.

    Could it have been different?
    Sure, if Corbyn had been a highly charismatic leader and far more intelligent.
    No, he isn't stupid, far from it – he's a very intelligent man, but not quite up there in terms of what it would take to really change the world.
    It could've been different if we had a media that wasn't a near monopoly.

    The term ruthless comes to mind – he doesn't have that, bless him. Good man. Very good man.

    And now?
    Labour will gain power in the next election – but little will change. Starmer has modelled himself on Blair.
    Better than the current Tory shower? Sure. What we need? God no. Not even close.
    Starmer is quite awful – when I said Corbyn didn't have enough charisma to lead, the fact is, he has more of it in his little finger than Starmer has in his entire body.
    But Starmer "plays the game" – the continuity candidate. Everyone knows the Tories are washed out, so Labour under Starmer offers a fresh start … for the oligarchs.

    Watching Starmer on the TV gives me the creeps. That thing he does with his mouth? Like something from Pink Floyd's "The Wall"
    Dead eyes. Lies. Lies and more lies – ruthless to the core. Corrupted in the worst way possible – he doesn't know he's corrupted, believes his own lies.
    Just like Tony Blair. It's the late 90's all over again, but with the added fun of climate breakdown and the rise of authoritarianism.

14. I'll never understand why Jewish people allow themselves to be (mis)used in that way….

15. great episode

16. Threats such as made by the military: we take leave if he becomes PM are heard more often in business quarters. I don't understand why you guys are impressed by that. Where will they go, after all?! So when businessmen threaten to take their factories and such out of the country, we on the continent give them a big smile: send us a card when you arrive.
    In the end they seldom leave, and when they leave they come back again.

17. The unfortunate fact is that Corbyn's support of Palestinian issues was a lever that could be used against him ( wrongly in my opinion ). Once he had been so "painted", he became unelectable; to be a government in waiting Labour would have to get rid of Corbyn.

18. They have formed a "Fith Column" in every nation inhabit undermining the host nation`s culture , especially it's social, political and economic structure.

19. The party has to learn lessons from 2019, love him or hate him the cult of Corbyn failed, the country wholeheartedly rejected him and the far left. So let’s move on, support Starmer, move the party back to the centre left with sensible policies and a fully costed and realistic manifesto!

20. I think a lot of large property portfolio owners were scared when he said he would house the homeless in empty buildings.
    Best idea ever.
    Greed is why we are in this mess.
    Free Palestine

21. Jeremy would have been assassinated if he had won the election. There is no democracy, it is a fable. The very fact that the security services and military are tant amount to saying to the British public, "We say who runs the country not you!" Fascism!

22. It's great to know that we have agencies in the UK which will act to protect us from extremists like Corbyn. It makes me feel a bit safer than had he ever been elected as PM, God help us all ! Only turkeys who vote for Christmas could ever have voted for him !

23. Thank you very much for your great work always. Chris world's needs more true journeles like you Live Long 🙏 🙏 🙏❤️

24. Corbyn was like Bernie in the Democratic party a successful tool used in his case by the Blairites in mopping up the labor voter for a neoliberal party who detested the workers but needed their votes. However, like Bernie he was a career politician who when it came down to choose his side turned his back on his supporters and fellows such as George Galloway amongst others but the Blairites hated him anyway and purged him.

25. And we will not forget the political assassination of JC. The people of the UK are not happy. We ate waiting for JC to form a new political party.

26. The people of Britain need to see this and have their eyes opened to the way in which they’ve been betrayed by the political motives of foreign powers.

27. So many movies portray this sort of corruption but then the fantasy that the underdog finds a way to smash the bad political guys. Now we know that those movies show the truth hiding in plane sight playbook – until we get to the final denouement which is full of celluloid lies not even fit to use as ass wipe.

28. We have irrefutable evidence

29. Speaking as someone who has always stayed away from politic's and politicians regarding the majority as selfish greedy individuals fired up by power and the dishonest and immoral acquisition of huge amounts of both money and power. They 'to my my mind's are liars and cheats who lack love, compassion and humility. I also believe the British voting system to be rigged and non representative of what the people really want.
    So of course, someone who is a good upstanding moralistic loving person like Jeremy Corbyn and Nigel Ferarge will not stand a chance against mi5 & mi6 and the British elite…who are in bed with the u.s & jewish intelligence & elite (western world power) or as they themselves would like to think 'the most powerful people in the world…capital extremists!. The likes of churchill, blair, bush, biden, thatcher…and our current…unelected priminister are nothing but war mongering war criminal's, whose only goal is to make ever more money and power for themselves.
    The end game for these low lifes, is the more or less total destruction of human life on Earth!!.

30. Jeremy the conscience of humanity and history. Bravo! Thanks!

31. Its simple everybody stop voting then they wont have a platform lets see what happens if the whole of the uk refuses to vote we would become a dictatorship lol anyway dont matter who u vote for there all the same people who went to the same school wether left or right its still a hand wake up britian

32. Military industrial complex wins

33. Here in England 🇬🇧 much like the USA 🇺🇸, if you're not a war mongering chickenHawk they will attack you from day one.

34. Those in the know …know..👹🇮🇱

35. It is high time that after digesting the big lessons of the Corbyn affair we move on to reconstructing a new labour party thst is socialist. Some are already involved in early stage work. It's clear he doesnt have the wish or energy to do this. It cant wait. This video is a really good short introduction to the Corbyn era. One question – there are connections including the Momentum groups – between the Corbyn and Sanders campaigns. Any thoughts about that?

36. I'd be interested to hear why/how Labour Party rules were changed/ liberalised. Any one know?

37. ….when you write/say “Israel” do you really mean the country “Israel” ?…or do you mean Jews (zionism) ?

38. If the people the voting citizens chose Corbin the people would be better off now 😢

39. Corbyn could have been the best PM the UK ever had. The public shot themselves in the foot by believing the lies about him.

40. All to be expected , ! How could we think it could be otherwise

41. The Cult in The City of London had Corbyn removed. He was never going to follow their script. All the rest of them including Starmer will do anything they are told to do, as long as there is money and advancement involved.

42. I posted this to my friends on FB… everybody needs to know about this…

    "Did you know this? A British general effectively threatened to coup the government if the British People voted for Jeremy Corbyn as their prime minister in 2017.
    What about the young men serving in the police and the army? Would they attack and brutalize civilians demonstrating in support of the government they voted for, if they were given the order? How many would dissent?
    Does some of our military leadership harbour internalized fascist views?"

    I sadly suspect that many acquaintances on FB will completely ignore my post because it makes them feel uncomfortable, or because they have been mentally conditioned to dismiss left wing voices and "unpatriotic" voices (in the sense that they are against the ruling establishment regime) out of hand.

43. Everyone on the ground, the normal working people, looked on powerlessly as they watched a real sincere genuine man for change and equality, who had managed to garner support across the ages for a movement of truth and justice, was pulled down by an obvious smear & character assassination campaign against him. By those who's interests were threatened and/or not prioritised by it, and the UK print/digital and broadcast media colluded in the lies and/or were too weak and ignorant to stand up straight for the Truth.
    Welcome to the spectre of western democracy!

44. Oh Jeremy Yo Yo 🥱
