I HAVE just about had enough of Labour MPs complaining about Jeremy Corbyn, complaining about bullying, complaining about anti-Jewish bullying.

Bullying is a fact of life within all political parties; why do you think discipline within all political parties is done by the Whips’ office which is designed to bully, blackmail and even threaten individuals with violence to keep them in line.

During my life I have belonged to three political parties, namely the Labour Party, the SDP and the Lib-Dems.

All of them have had a Whips' office, even Bolton Labour Party has a Whips' office.

It is about control; if you disobey the party line you can be suspended or you can be thrown out of the party.

This row within the Labour Party is purely and simply about getting rid of Jeremy Corbyn. Why? Because the Blairites don’t like left-wing policies, they don't like socialism and they want soft Conservatism.

They want a privatised health service, they want to privatise education and they believe in total privatisation of anything they can sell off.

Frank Field voted with the Conservatives along with six other MPs. If they had voted with the Opposition (to which they belong) the Government would have fallen. Frank Field is in favour of Britain leaving EU; he believes in democracy until the vote goes against him.

But getting back to treating people with respect, it just does not happen in politics; politicians are not nice people; they will do anything to get the vote they want, not for the benefit of the people who elected them but for themselves.

They will cover up crimes if it suits them and hang you out to dry if it suits them. All this talk of anti-Semitism is because they found something on which they can get Jeremy Corbyn. Should you be nice to everybody? The answer is ‘Yes’. Should you speak to the Opposition (in this case I mean the Palestinians) the answer is ‘Yes’.

Did the Holocaust happen? Of course it did; you should be extremely honest about that.

You should respect everybody because the average man in the street deserves your full respect. I defended two people in Russia back in the ‘60s. They were two American Jews on the way to Israel, not the cleverest thing to do. I did it because it was right; they said to leave it because they were used to disrespectful behaviour towards them but I did not as I believe that you have to stand up for what you believe in and I am sure that Jeremy Corbyn would have done the same thing. You do not walk on the other side.

If we lose Jeremy we will have lost more than we can say. He is the only person who will save the NHS, your education service and a lot more besides because without Jeremy Corbyn the Labour Party you are left with will not save the services that you want and you need. I am not sure Jeremy Corbyn will be able to save them either with dark forces at play. The poor are not supposed to have a say; leaving the EU is meant to guarantee to take it all our hard-worn services away. American big business and the President of the United States will take it all.
