Labour for an Independent Wales @Lab4IndyWalesWe need a complex politics, folks. A compassionate, complex politics that understands our leaders on the left need constructive criticism and we - as members - need to keep a cynical eye and push them but also not lose faith that they're doing their best.1 antwoord 0 retweets 1 vind-ik-leuk -

Exactly. Which is why everybody should stop pretending that Corbyn is different. He isn't. He is massively flawed and anybody who promotes him on a platform of exceptionalism and as a guru who will adopt change is deluding themselves. Children got raped. Ends.

Hadn't seen that until you posted it & you're right: it's all about understanding that no-one is perfect - we can't tell the exact circumstances of that & it's a horrid thing. All we can do is try to support the person we think best, based on their history. JC=ok tories=v.bad

Alternatively, all unworthy. This is what I take from it, and I will say the same of anybody regardless of their party. There can be no greater crime than that of abusing children & when a person turns a blind eye to that for political prudence, they are unfit for office.

I can’t argue on the point of the abuse of children, totally abhorrent to any normal person. But all politicians - like all people - are flawed. That’s the great strength of Corbyn is that he doesn’t pretend to be perfect

Oh, OK then. In that case, maybe he'll acknowledge his serious abdication of duty & tell his cult to stop blaming John Mann (also a tit) for exposing his serious shortcomings.

I am calm but at the same time, I find it heinous that people are willing to downplay the ignoring of these gross offences against children because it does suit their political agenda. Maybe if more ppl were angry, survivors would have more of a voice

Looking into the background on the Islington story you shared there was a Guardian article published in 2003. From what I can see the police led the investigation at the time and found no evidence to substantiate the allegations. What should an MP do then? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2003/jul/06/children.childprotection …

Interestingly the whistleblowers focus was on Hodge then and not Corbyn. It appears he has been sucked in only since becoming leader as the Tory press try to smear him. Margaret Hodge - John Mann’s friend and ally - is the person in need of scrutiny as then leader of Islington

There are several articles online dating back to '93. The consensus is that Labour let those children down. Here's something from 2017 http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/crime-court/islington-kids-homes-scandal-why-did-police-pull-plug-on-new-child-abuse-probe-1-5022869 … The last line is interesting

Here's one from 93 but if you prefer to call it all a John Mann inspired witch hunt, that's on you. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/witness-stalinist-reluctance-to-study-the-facts-1621767.html … I don't think there's anything wrong w acknowledging that he hasn't always been on the right side of history
