MI6 enters the Labour leadership debate with vintage "Red Smear" piece in the Torygraph

[Michael Barwell]

As an indication of the less than balanced reporting by the Beeb on Corbyn, ....

Yesterday, the BBC was saying with a 1,000-word picture and narrative that he'd been 'shoulder to shoulder' with Gerry Adams (and implied IRA), 'cos there was a pic of him from coincidentally the same time as the BritGovt was also speeking with him/them - sleight-slur there. But then, the BBC's just been dropping the Battle of Britain commemoration in at the end of the news, leading on prince Henry having given-up his seat to a veteran, and illustrating the historic event by showing a '43/'44 pattern Messerschmitt 109 and a US P-47, which I think only arrived in the ETO in '43. I can't imagine Dave Attenborough showing a black bird & calling it a blue bird (or whateverr). It's enough to make a person apoplectic. Grr.

Corbyn's also had some gyp for speeking to other more-or-less unsavouries, but as Obama put it so well, "You don't make peace with your friends"; the general level of debate & mudslinging is pretty poor.

Bernie Sanders (wups, Independant not Republican) apparently is "delighted" with Corbyn's win, which is slightly odd, like a re-run of Bush & Blair - left & right marriage of convenience.
