Jezbollah Corbyn Historically Wholly Anti-EU

As we get closer and closer to the BrExit deadline and towards another election it's worth pondering the duplicitous Corbyn stance on BrExit.

This is a man who absolutely opposes the EU, who has for years opposed it at every juncture, but who, if he thinks it will get him votes, will say and do anything.

No surprise that he has dilly dallied about on the BrExit stances for ages hoping desperately to just gain support on the BrExit outfall. But nonsense like pretending he wants to stay in a Customs Union and the like should be seen for what it is. . . . blatant duplicity pandering to the masses to get cheap votes.

Here is the remarkable history of Jezbollah Corbyn and the EU:

• Jeremy Corbyn voted for Britain to leave the European Economic Community (EEC) in the 1975 European referendum.

• Jeremy Corbyn opposed the creation of the European Union (EU) under the Maastricht Treaty – speaking and voting against it in Parliament in 1993. During the 2016 referendum campaign, Left Leave highlighted repeated speeches he made in Parliament opposing Europe during 1993.

• Jeremy Corbyn voted against the Lisbon Treaty on more than one occasion in Parliament in 2008.

• In 2010, Jeremy Corbyn voted against the creation of the European Union’s diplomatic service.

• Jeremy Corbyn voted for a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU in 2011 (breaking the Labour whip to do so).

• In 2011 Jeremy Corbyn also opposed the creation of the EU’s European Stability Mechanism, which helps members of the Euro in financial difficulties. (This vote is a good example of how Corbyn votes with hardcore Euro-sceptics. Only 26 other MPs joined him in voting against, and in their number are the likes of right-wing Euro-sceptics such as Peter Bone, Douglas Carswell, Bill Cash, Ian Paisley Junior and John Redwood.)

• Jeremy Corbyn opposed Britain’s participation in the EU’s Banking Authority in 2012.

• In 2016 his long-time left-wing ally Tariq Ali said that he was sure that if Corbyn was not Labour leader he would be campaigning for Britain to leave the EU, whilst his brother Piers Corbyn also said that Jeremy Corbyn was privately opposed to Britain’s membership of the European Union.

• Jeremy Corbyn went on holiday during the 2016 referendum campaign and his office staff consistently undermined the Remain campaign. He refused to attend a key Remain campaign launch and also attacked government ministers for publicising the Remain case, saying they should also have promoted arguments in favour of Leave vote. The Director of the Remain campaign, himself a Labour member and candidate, said, “Rather than making a clear and passionate Labour case for EU membership, Corbyn took a week’s holiday in the middle of the campaign and removed pro-EU lines from his speeches”. During the referendum campaign, Leave.EU highlighted Corbyn’s attacks on Europe made in 1996.

• The day after the European referendum in 2016, Jeremy Corbyn called for the immediate invocation of Article 50 – the two year notice to leave the EU – much quicker than even Theresa May wanted.

• In December 2016, Jeremy Corbyn voted in Parliament in favour of the UK leaving the EU and for the process to start no latter than 31 March 2017.

• Jeremy Corbyn three times voted in February 2017 in favour of the Prime Minister starting the process of leaving the European Union.

• During the 2017 general election, the independent Channel 4 Factcheck service found very little difference between Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May over Europe.

• In the summer of 2017, Jeremy Corbyn opposed Britain remaining in the Single Market. He even sacked from his team Labour MPs who voted in favour of membership of the Single Market.

Let's make no mistake here. Our Marxist Comrade Corbyn has opposed the EU for years. Any suggestion by him in his role as leader of the Looney Labour party that he wants to Remain, or stay with one foot on the EU camp or Customs Union is simply a nonsense and the usual duplicitous rhetoric he uses over and over again to try and get votes. The man is desperate.

Re: Jezbollah Corbyn Historically Wholly Anti-EU

One of the reasons I like him is his anti Eu stance even when it was deeply unfashionable. Tbh he hasn't said enough recently about it to say one way of another if he still feels that way.
