Dug for Jezza
be to shut up and hide away. Actually the best thing he could do would be to surrender himself to the Hague, but he won’t do that either. Tony and the Labour right claim that they are afraid that if Jezza becomes leader the party will never be elected. The only thing that terrifies them more is the possibility that Labour would get elected with Jezza as leader.
Since Tony was unable to stop the Corbyn deluge, despite Tony’s firm belief in his own god-like powers, next up is Gordie Broon. Gordie is the last gasp atempt of Labour as he’s the only former leader they’ve got who isn’t accused of war crimes. Gordie was chancellor during Blair’s period in office and is as up to his neck in the misdeeds of Blair as any other senior cabinet member at the time, the only reason that Broon has escaped public hatred for the Iraq War is that the public have a million and one other things to hate him for instead.
Anyway, Broon warned that if Labour members vote for Corbyn they’ll lose their pensions, if they haven’t lost them already. He also vowed that if the litle people vote for anyone but Jezza, he will personally guarantee the nearest thing possible to a socialist leader in a party that’s led by faceless careerists who’ve substituted the collected works of Karl Marx for a focus group in Leighton Buzzard.
However when all is said and done - and a whole lot has been said and done regarding the possibility of a Corbyn victory - Jezza is just another Labour politico who thinks that the demands and requirements of Westminster and UK Labour on Scotish devolution are more important than the democratic will of the Scotish people. Corbyn is opposed to another independence referendum, and opposed to granting any further tax powers to Holyrood. Scotland is a bit of a mystery to him, a distraction from the true road to socialist salvation which runs through the Westminster Parlie.
He’s a bit like the old fashioned socialists who told women that they just had to wait for the glorious day when the revolution came and all their problems with sexism would be miraculously solved. Jezza wants Scotland to sit back and take a back seat and not to work for its own liberation. The big boys and girls in Westminster will do it for us.
Jezza believes in the British Parliamentary Road to Socialism. He’s palaeo-Labour, never mind old Labour. Jezza harks back to a Labour party before Labour’s dinosaurs had even evolved. But we’ve seen that it doesn’t work.
Even when the entire Labour party was united in its
resolve, it wasn’t able to push the Parliamentary Road to Socialism through the Westminster swamps. The party got mired in the decay and despair of corruption and sleaze. Corbyn will inherit a party that’s divided and disunited, where powerful figures are ploting against him even before he gets into office. His chances of success are zero, and so are the chances of any meaningful reform of the British state. I wish him well, but as far as Scotland is concerned he’s a distraction. Real salvation lies with independence, that remains as true today as it did when Jezza was an unknown backbencher.
Corbyn is on public record as saying that he believes the Iraq War was illegal, and has not ruled out putting Blair on trial for war crimes.
