The 'debunking' is just noting that the book in question has over 400 pages. Shouldn't we expect a guy writing a glowing foreword to have actually taken the time to read the book he's praising?
As far as I can tell, there's a lot of consistent smoke. Somehow Corbyn is always involved but never ever notices the bad stuff. There was a good basis to be concerned: Whether Corbyn is an antisemite, cynical or just totally oblivious, is not as material when he's running to such a powerful position. An oblivious PM could do some damage still.
Elections are not a court - we have to decide based on probabilities, and most British voters found Corbyn to be more unworthy than Johnson.
>The campaign to smear him as one has most certainly succeeded, and his support for Palestine probably in no small is to blame for this.
There could be a connection. It could be argued that strong opinions on ME conflict led people to ignore things they did not want to see. From Corbyn supposedly not noticing multiple cases of outright bigotry, to some Labour supporters not noticing a pattern with Corbyn.
- runarberg 5y agoThis point is kind of moot given that, unlike Corbyn, Johnson is on record actually using racist slurs.
