COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY FADUMA HASSAN IN THE
INDEPENDENT
I do not agree with Faduma Hassan that it was just this
week.
Corbyn has stood up well under fire, a set of unprecedented
attacks, both personal and political, from many quarters.
I like him more than ever.
First, the many calls for a different leader right after his
overwhelming election.
And the attacks by human scum like Tony Blair.
The attacks by disloyal party members like Hilary Benn.
The mass walk-out of Tony Blair's loyalists, admirers of a mass
murderer, all of them.
The damnable attacks by the press and a truly shabby prime
minister about non-existent anti-Semitism. A true wave of hate modeled on Sen
Joseph McCarthy's name-calling filth from the 1950s.
The same shabby prime minister's insults about Corbyn's
choice of clothes, unwarranted insults with absolutely no apology.
Standing up to the disastrous consequences of the prime
minister's embarrassing referendum campaign, which indelibly marks David
Cameron as the most incompetent man ever to hold his office, a fact which
should influence everyone's thinking about his party's policies.
