Keep Labour Left, Or Leave - Our Short Lived Campaign

-
Comrades,

After today's announcement which I'm sure you've all seen by now, the capitulation to the so-called "whistle-blowers" by way of financial compensation and apology, I'm officially calling for an end to the campaign I started a nearly two months ago - Keep Labour Left, Or Leave!

Starmer's "apology" is being seen as an admission of guilt by the nefarious side of the party and rumours are abound of not only Corbyn having the whip removed, but also of Corbyn being sued.

This is a shorter run campaign than I expected but by this point, I imagine many of you are struggling with your conscience over whether to stay in the party, if you're still a member. I certainly am.

I hoped to run the campaign in full, to its end, and with more members, but I personally cannot stand this any longer. It seems utterly futile now to continue.

So with a heavy heart and as I stated within the original campaign material, I ask you all who signed up to resign your membership in solidarity with each other.

It's time to start a serious discussion about grassroots party and how to move forward with it.

Thank you all, in solidarity.

The Liberal Establisment's Construction Of A Cult

You've all heard it before - "Corbynism is a CULT!", "The cult of Corbyn strikes again!". We've all been called cultists, zealots or acolytes at some point. It's a boorish and trite accusation that has followed mass political movements for change throughout history. I want to explore where these accusations come from and why they are made, and hopefully dismantle the narrative well enough for others to be able to defend themselves in the face of these ridiculous claims.   Back in 2015, a certain back-bencher with 30 years of experience behind him was nominated in the Labour Party leadership contest after Ed Miliband's disastrous result in the general election. The aforementioned back-bencher was nominated purely on a diversity ticket, a crusty old "Bennite" socialist, a dinosaur living out of his time in the modern land of Blair's Third Way politics. That backbencher was Jeremy Corbyn. He was nominated simply to maintain the illusion th

The Spectre of Republicanism

A spectre is haunting the UK, the spectre of republicanism, and to a lesser extent, communism. Recently, everyone's favourite producer of benighted drollery, Nigel Farage, said this: " If we destroy the monarchy then we destroy something special about our country. Harry and Meghan are doing their very best to make that become a reality. " - Tweet link Come on, Nige, what's special about the monarchy?  It's an anachronistic aberration that institutionalises its members by keeping them inured to centuries-old feudal dogma under the guise of "tradition" and "convention". The sort of traditions and conventions that actively negate any semblance of humanity that a royal might otherwise, albeit "accidentally", express. They are stripped of all of the qualities that we usually consider human and instead are compelled to live a strict and rigid life guided by incommunicable, nonsensical rules that were written the best part of a millennia ago

Why Farage And His Ilk Hate Britain

A while ago I posted a video on my page which, I didn't realise at the time, was actually cut from a Labour election video from 2019. I didn't know this because all the pro-Labour bits had been pruned from the video. This is by the by, though, and not really the point of this article.  Whilst most comments and shares praised the content of the video, there were a couple that I found amusing until I further considered the implications. One read "Utter Marxist bollox", the other "We need UKIP as there [ sic ] for England". These attitudes are unfortunately by no means uncommon and are representative of our modern and highly polarised political spirit. So what is it that has turned people to this position? "Marxist bollox"? Most of those reading this will have a good idea of what Marxism actually is and how it is rhetorised by figures such as Farage to mean something else. But let's cover those points anyway. Firstly and basically, what is Marxism
