‘The Big Lie’ - Jeremy Corbyn Documentary

OH, JEREMY CORBYN…THE BIG LIE​

In 2017, with the support of an extraordinary grassroots movement, British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn came close to becoming prime minister. The establishment trembled. Britain stood on the threshold of huge political change. But within three years all, it seemed, was lost. What happened and why?
Produced by award-winning radical film-maker Platform Films, with contributions from Jackie Walker, Ken Loach, Andrew Murray, Graham Bash and Moshe Machover, and narrated by Alexei Sayle, this feature-length documentary film explores a dark and murky story of political deceit and outrageous antisemitic smears. It also uncovers the critical role played by current Labour leader, Keir Starmer and asks if the movement which backed Corbyn could rise again.

Is this potentially about the media campaign to sully his name at every opportunity? Mostly gobbled up by anyone without two brain cells to rub together?

A shocking film​

The film is sinister and, for those that don’t know anything about the events, very shocking. It will make many very angry as we were robbed, in the most undemocratic way, of a prime minister who would listen to the people and work on the side of humanity. It will infuriate the public, as it is clear that no one likes duplicity. It will also make many people very sad.

The real message conveyed in this film is that the Labour Party is no alternative to the Conservatives – it serves the ruling class and is led by someone every bit as devious as Boris Johnson, if not more so.

However, I for one felt uplifted, as the film ended optimistically. Many of the interviewees think that all is not lost – those millions of people who were inspired and given hope by the Corbyn project haven’t gone away – they are to be found supporting the picket lines, protesting and fighting for many causes such as public ownership of the NHS and the right to strike and the establishment is STILL petrified.

This film should be shown far and wide. It is well evidenced and the interviews with ex members, and in some cases their despair, adds a very human element. Many people are working hard to get it shown – it will be seen time and time again in the future as it depicts such a scandalous almost unbelievable era in the story of the Labour Party. The good people of this nation deserve to know the truth.

What is right is not always popular and what is popular is not always right..

We’re very much divided as a nation, political choices are made by people who want the best for themselves and their family. I don’t see myself as ‘left’ or ‘right’ - I do believe in freedom of speech, democracy and a fair society with people being treated with respect regardless of who they are, what they are or where they are from.

I do not subscribe to the idea of us and them when it comes to me and someone else who works for a living, I feel very strongly that if you need to work to pay your bills then you are working class.. I’ve experienced the real middle class at first hand and they are very different from the self employed family living in ingleby barwick with a mortgage, BMW 5 series and a buy to let rental property.

Us and them is ‘us’, those who have to work for a living and ‘them’ who are the ruling class, the decisions they make supposedly representing our interests, financially benefit themselves and their peers.. they when they benefit we the people pick up the tab, be it from uncompetitive government contracts, tax breaks, tax write offs, or over inflated expenses. The likes of Jacob Rees Moog should never be in politics representing the people of this country, he has no real life experience, his family wealth removes any empathy from those less fortunate.. we have a cabal of over privileged public school boys playing soggy biscuit with the economy. It’s a smash and grab, it’s a rip off.. only they make the rules, they set the boundaries.. nobody is there to stop them.

No matter what your political beliefs be it big government or big business there are rules that need to be followed, democracy, truth and justice should be at the heart of any government regardless of their ideology. Votes need to count, a politician needs to represent the interests of their constituents.. this is why we saw so many pro remain MPs lose their seats in predominantly leave areas. Party policy needs to be adhered to, if a politician is voted in on the principles of that party they can’t then act in a way that is against that which they were voted in on. Labour we’re very much guilty of this the last election and all that more visible. The conservatives shouting one nation conservatism need to deliver policy based on those ideals.. not some far right disaster capitalism.

Margaret Thatcher said that the railways were a privatisation too far, Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘socialist utopia’ involved raising corporation tax from 19% to 26% (2010s level) Margaret Thatcher had Corporation tax between 52% and 35% John Major took that down further still to 31% and then 30% cited by many as a steady hand.. we’re going up to 25% this April.

Take the Marks and Spencer jacket away and the scruffy beard away and you see something closer to a Conservative from 1979 to 1994 how many would have agreed to a 4% drop in corporation tax equal to the drop from Thatcher to Major!

I prefer the current Labour Party - and hope that there is now at least a chance of getting rid of the current incumbents that have put the country in this state over the last 13 years
Corbyn got Labour their worst electoral defeat in 80 years last time. If the 'centrists' held him back let him form his own party and ride to a landslide majority in 2024/5

What is this obsession with Ingleby Barwick? It's fcuking mental. Other housing estates are available to mock.

I’m not mocking.. how about a detached house in Acklam, an Audi A6 with a few thousand invested in crypto?

A Flat in Norton, a Skoda Superb Estate and a collection of watches?
