Blaming Corbyn for Brexit is one of the dumbest agro-centrist bits of nonsense that will not stop. It was concocted on the day after as part of the "chicken coup" to try and push out the democratically elected party leader and hasn't stopped since.
You'd think the head of the Remain campaign might deserve a little blame? Totally blameless for their failure apparently. The actual strategy of the campaign is never even discussed. It's just "how dare Corbyn cause Brexit! The Fiend!" How about all the other names and faces leading the Remain campaign? Cameron, Osborne? Nope. He gets more blame than fucking Farage.
I have no respect for anyone that pushes this shit. It's just disgusting post-factual factional lying crap. Stop it.
- coremoff 3y agoOP didn't say that Corbyn caused brexit, but that we might not have had it if he had behaved differently, and I broadly agree; government could not agree what brexit should look like and rather than stopping to think it through, they bickered us into a corner - there was a brief (litterally hours) moment when the "rebels" had control over the order sheet and could have done something useful, but instead were fighting over who should be the figurehead. Corbyn is a long way from blame for brexit, but he was part of the lunacy.
- sph 3y agoWew taking it a little personal here, are you not? GP mentioned Corbyn, I pointed out his shortcomings. No need to go "what about Osborne or Cameron?" I know they're tw*ts and nowhere in my comment I went to defend those reprehensible pillocks, nor I placed all the blame at Corbyn's feet. Again, you're taking it a bit personal here, for some reason.
