COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JOHN RENTOUL IN THE
INDEPENDENT
“Recent events make it
likely that Labour will win both seats in the by-elections next week, meaning
Jeremy Corbyn will remain leader – a disaster for the Labour Party”
How does John Rentoul manage to keep employed as a
columnist?
Somehow in Rentouland - just a hop, skip, and a jump down
the road from Cloudcuckooland - winning by-elections is bad for a party, a
party which should instead be working to rid itself of its present leadership.
Well, I do know the answer to my own question.
Because The Independent just salivates about bringing the
disgusting Tony Blair - in the form of one of his acolytes if not himself in
the flesh - back to power, and writers like John Rentoul do the yeoman’s work
of writing-up pages of lame arguments in favor of it.
That moral pigmy and complete sell-out to special interests,
Blair, gets almost daily coverage in the paper, as do some of his cult
followers.
Blair’s recent insane speech about the public rising-up
against Brexit and stopping it – such words from the very man who ignored the
greatest peace demonstrations in British history to charge ahead in his secret
partnership with Bush to destroy Iraq - was given embarrassing over-exposure by
the paper with many images on the same page as links to the same dreary stuff,
as though it were statesmanlike material of the greatest possible importance
being featured.
