No, I’m not going to turn on Jeremy Corbyn. He inspired me and hundreds of thousands of others to join Labour. We’re still here. His policies are correct. He is a man of honesty & honour in a world of lies & dishonour. I will never, ever apologise for supporting a leader and policies I believe/believed in for the first time in my life (well, 2017 & 2019). If there was an election next week, I would proudly go out and campaign for/vote for Corbyn & these policies again. Because you don’t even get anti-austerity without Corbyn, and you need someone with his resolve to deliver them.
So, if the new Labour leader sticks to these policies (which are consistently, majority popular with the electorate as every poll shows & has done for years), and has the resolve to deliver them, I will defend them too when the media comes for them-and they will, big time, just as they did for Corbyn. I will defend them against total a***holes who are disingenuous hypocrites from inside & outside the party, and idiots & the uninformed who will attack that leader for *place BS reason here*, when really they are trying to stop basic social democracy from being in power.
They will change the BS reason to adapt to the leader, but the strategy is the same. Those who *claim* to support these policies too, will soon see this. Let’s hope they don’t buy it like they did with Corbyn, eh? If even Irvine Welsh can hold his hands up and say HE was influenced by the constant media bullshit re Corbyn despite being very informed, intelligent etc, one would hope those less informed would/will have the humility to do the same. Time will tell.
THANK YOU JEREMY CORBYN. YOU ARE A LEGEND, REGARDLESS OF HOW ANYONE WANTS TO PAINT YOU IN THE MEDIA. ME & MILLIONS LIKE ME WILL NEVER FORGET THIS. YOU TOOK/TAKE SSSSSSSOOOOOOO MUCH SHIT FOR ALL OF US. YNWA.
Oh, and PS, it is INCREDIBLY liberating not to give a flying f**k what these cynical, sarcastic, emotionally redundant a***holes think of you. It really, really is. Being genuinely freed from the worry of how these critics view/slur you is a blessing. I got that off Jeremy Corbyn. Iron Rhino skin. Try it. It is hard, and takes a while, but when you get there…wow…so liberating.
