DESPERATE: Media’s Failed Attempt to ’Corbynate’ George Galloway

George Galloway’s interview on GMB will have reminded many on the left of how they treated Corbyn, but that won’t work here... Right, so first they came for Jeremy Corbyn and they threw the kitchen sink at him, they launched their chicken coups, they briefed against him in the press, they misappropriated funds, they stood against the will of the membership and for themselves, such is the state of the Labour Party, both then and now, the biggest barrier for change in this country as it purports to represent ordinary working class people, yet when those policies were put forward by somebody, they sought to destroy them at all costs. In no small way were the media not involved in that as well, they were the drivers of it, daily attack articles, interviews with opponents within the party and the slightest whiff of a scandal and well, it was on the hour every hour news. And so it now is, that George Galloway appears to be the next perceived threat to the status quo, having hammered his mainstream opponents in Rochdale back in March, now having announced a raft of parliamentary candidates and local council candidates, the Workers Party of Great Britain is building from the ground up, doesn’t have those internal saboteurs that Corbyn did have to contend with, yet the media are coming for him, as they did Corbyn before. Well for numerous reasons, Galloway is no Corbyn, but if the media think he’ll take an on air monstering lying down, they’ll quickly learn how very much he isn’t like Corbyn and how he possibly doesn’t need to be either. Right, so George Galloway on Good Morning Britain got subjected to what was a distinctly Corbynesque attack from both Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid, both seemingly looking to land a gotcha on a guy who simply won’t take it rather than actually ask him anything of any real pertinence or relevance, though of course these interviews always start nicely, they began by talking about Galloway’s vision for his party, to replace Labour to actually be the Party that Labour should be rather than this Tory tribute act it keeps becoming because of the damage done to it by the likes of Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson, turning the party into something that as Corbyn proved sadly, seems impossible to reverse and it only took Keir Starmer lying about everything he stood for, to get elected and then show his true colours as a return to that Blair style of politics to come. Now I’ve always been of the view, that the con Blair pulled, with the mainstream media onside, and no alternative media and no social media to push back on that, that that is how he got away with what he’d done, the Iraq War for example. Can you imagine how things might have been different if the level of social media scrutiny, social media, smartphones being in existence then, was as it is now especially in light of how we’ve been able to observe and judge the actions of Israel in Gaza for example? Blair and Bush would never have got away with what they did I don’t think and equally, Keir Starmer wouldn’t be able to either. ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I’m Damien Willey.
