IS JEREMY CORBYN JUST ANOTHER DECEITFUL POLITICIAN?
On the 17th August Jeremy Corbyn was interviewed by the BBC. The interview went as follows:-
Jeremy Corbyn:-
“I don’t think you can label the whole community. I think what you have to do is label those that perpetrate disgusting and disgraceful crimes against people and they can be from any community. They can be white, they can be black, they can be any community and they have to be dealt with as the crime of what it is.”
BBC interviewer:-
“Do you not think it is a problem with Pakistani men because we have seen in Rochdale, in Rotherham, Newcastle and Oxford that being the problem?”
Jeremy Corbyn replied:-
“The problem is the crime that is committed against women from any community. Much crime is committed by white people. Crime is committed by other communities as well. I think it is wrong to designate an entire community as the problem. What I think is right is to deal with problems, the safety and security and vulnerability of often young women who can be groomed by all kinds of people into some awful and dangerous situations.”
BBC interviewer:-
“Did you sack Sarah Champion?”
Jeremy Corbyn replied:-
“No she resigned.”
BBC interviewer:-
“Did you sack or did she resign”
Jeremy Corbyn replied:-
“She resigned”.
BBC interviewer:-
“So you did not sack her?”
Jeremy Corbyn replied:-
“She resigned.”
BBC interviewer:-
“If she had not have resigned would you have sacked her?”
Jeremy Corbyn replied:-
“Well she resigned so that is the question.”
BBC interviewer:-
“Do you think she was right to resign?”
Jeremy Corbyn replied:-
“She resigned and I accepted the resignation.”
BBC interviewer:-
“Do you think she was right to resign?”
Jeremy Corbyn replied:-
“Well I accepted her resignation so clearly I did and I thank her for her commitment to the safety of women and the vulnerability of women and championing equalities in this country and I will be working with her in the future.”
(Here is a link to the original >>> Jeremy Corbyn: Wrong to blame ‘entire community’ for abuse – BBC News).
This interview was in the context of his being asked about Labour’s Shadow “Equalities Secretary”, Sarah Champion, being forced into the position of resigning by him. Jeremy Corbyn repeatedly denied she had been sacked.
The truth was, of course, that he had made it impossible for her to continue. If she had been an employee that would clearly have been a “Constructive Dismissal” situation. So that was Corbyn’s first deception in this interview.
The second deception in the interview was to claim:-
“I don’t think you can label the whole community. I think what you have to do is label those that perpetrate disgusting and disgraceful crimes against people and they can be from any community. They can be white, they can be black, they can be any community and they have to be dealt with as the crime of what it is.”
Sarah Champion had never said, nor indeed has any commentator from any part of the spectrum, so far as I am aware, ever said that the whole of the Pakistani or Muslim community, or the whole of any Muslim community, or indeed the whole of any community whatsoever, is involved in child sexual exploitation.
What Sarah Champion had pointed out however is nothing more or less than the truth, namely that the gangs of exploiters are principally Pakistani Muslim men (but also include other Muslim men) and also that the “ethnicity” of the victims was almost invariably young white English girls.
Jeremy Corbyn then went on to say that:-
“The problem is the crime that is committed against women from any community. Much crime is committed by white people. Crime is committed by other communities as well. I think it is wrong to designate an entire community as the problem. What I think is right is to deal with problems, the safety and security and vulnerability of often young women who can be groomed by all kinds of people into some awful and dangerous situations.”
This was his third deception in the short interview!
Where it is of course true that there are individual paedophiles from all communities, what is certainly not true is that there are gangs of paedophile criminals drugging, raping and prostituting on a hugely profitable commercial scale thousands of young girls from another ethnic or religious group.
The idea that there is any “moral equivalence” is however completely preposterous and shows how far adrift Jeremy Corbyn’s moral compass actually is.
But then that is of course all too true of Labour politicians generally because they are the very Establishment Party that was most involved in protecting the Muslim politician child rape gang members and their “clients” and in closing down any criticism of what was being done and also in concealing it and also in persecuting anybody who opposed that.
So I ask: Is Jeremy Corbyn any more or less deceitful than Tony Blair?
What do you think?
