Jeremy Corbyn ‘Can’T Be Trusted’ After Czech Spy Revelations, Says Tory Minister Gavin Williamson
//The furore erupted after The Sun newspaper revealed documents from a Soviet-era archive that described the meetings and revealed the future Labour leader was known to the Czechs under the codename of COB.
At a Nato meeting in Brussels, Mr Williamson said: “Jeremy Corbyn has never had Britain’s interests at heart.
“Time and time again he has sided with those who want to destroy everything that is great about this country, whether it is sympathising with terrorists, backing rogue regimes, or cosying up to those who want to inflict pain and misery on the British people.”
“That he met foreign spies is a betrayal of this country. He cannot be trusted.”
Ex-Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind said: “If these documents are genuine, which they appear to be, there is a serious case for Mr Corbyn to answer.”

I have huge reservations about Jeremy Corbyn in the light of this, but it actually might be the best thing that ever happened to labour. Should his position become untenable, which it well might, then that would pave the way for Keir Starmer to take the leadership who is openly against leaving the EU and would rally the anti Brexit vote in a general election. It's an ill wind and all that...
"pave the way for Keir Starmer to take the leadership"
So easy to write, so hard in reality. Sadly the chances of Keir Starmer winning a leadership election with the current Labour membership are about, oh, as likely as anyone sensible beating Rees-Mogg in a run-off among the current Tory membership.

What is it about, "Dr. Majid Rafizadeh a world-renowned Iranian-American business strategist and advisor, entrepreneur, Harvard-educated scholar, and political scientist," that you dislike Zacs? Is it his first hand knowledge? The piece that was repeated it the G.I. was also published on other platforms .........but not of course reported by the Beep Beep See. It begins.
//My father's generation in Iran lived in an environment in which the Islamist party of the country's clergy cunningly depicted themselves as intending no harm, supportive of the people, and not interested in power. So, before the revolution, many Iranians did not think that Khomeini's party would be committing the atrocities that they are committing now or that they would have such an unrelenting hunger for power. Instead, during this time, the country thought it was on a smooth path towards democracy, with no expectation of ever returning to a barbaric era. Even the then-US President Jimmy Carter viewed Khomeini as a good religious holy man.
Iranians did not just submit to these new laws; they rose up in protest. This uprising was met with torture, rape, and death. With the regime eager to wipe any who dared to resist, the people had no choice but to surrender. Everyone's daily activities were now under the scrutiny of the Islamists.
Many will still think it is impossible for something like this to happen in their country. What they fail to understand is that Iran is an example of exactly how successful this meticulous grab for power can be. Islamists in other countries including the West are pursuing the same techniques on the path to seizing power. It is a quiet, and subtle process, until the moment you wake up with no rights, a culture of fear, and no promise that you will live in freedom or even to see the next day.//
Dr Majid Rafizadeh is Iranian born, perhaps we are allowing the "wrong sort" of Iranian to hold sway.

//You really do have to get some better news sources,Khandro. I mean, the Gatestone institute......pah!//
Here comes the first of the three stooges who fail to work out that Gatestone isn't a news source, it simply publishes articles.
In this case there isn't anything to refute, it is a first-hand assessment by an educated well-informed Iranian. Or perhaps you know better than he and will tell us and him where he has gone wrong - though facts aren't one of your strong points.
So why not try to bring Morrissey into the thread, which is what you usually do when you don't know what to say.

As I said earlier, Corbyn's anti-establishment. He's anti-british by default because that happens to be the establishment he finds himself in.
The Wolfie Smith freedom for Tooting antics of his past will come back to haunt him now he actually wants to be part of the establishment, but as Kvalidir says above, that can only be good for Labour, as he'll have to be replaced with someone more credible.
