Labour Party's new leader "threatens UK national security"

Video summarizes everything said by David Cameron and the Conservative party, I'm not really a fan of political sheet talking and I never will be, but anything that threatens national security is pretty bad, this also coinciding with the Syrian Refugee crisis, some of whom might have dubious ambitions, seems like very bad timing to say something like this.

 

 Anyway, discuss.

I'm not really a big fan of political sheet either (nor will I ever be), but I feel Corbyn being elected Labour leader wasn't as good as an idea as people thought. Some MPs even thought that Labour are going to be un-electable with him in charge.

That video makes him look like some sort of secret agent here to make us defenceless and destroy us o.o

It's political propaganda, but he has said these things. I just think it's a very bad time to lower your defences when tensions with Russia are rising, as well as everything going on in the middle east.

I mean Labour were un-electable before Corbyn, and there isn't a single politician in the party charismatic enough to make that happen. And when the Tories are your opposition that's a very bad thing to have said. Hell, his own party don't even like him. 

 

As for the video; I mean I imagine that every statement there is taken very much out of context (Which matters a lot). So it doesn't really mean a lot. Weirdly enough I agree with him on the miltary standpoint (Not Trident, but in terms of actual armed forces), but it makes no difference to me. 

 

Really Labour need one thing; They need Blair pre Iraq, because the man was actually likeable as a leader. And that's what the party needs because as the last election showed, clearly enough people don't like the Tories enough that they could get in. It's just they have had awful awful leaders since Blair resigned. But it ain't gonna happen. 

 

Either that or they get like Firage without the racist/biggotry. That would work just as well.

I think after 5 more years of tory leadership, anything will be considered "electable".

I think a lot of those claims are nonsense but he is a eurosceptic anti-monarchist which doesn't go down very well at all in my book. Usually I'd be a Labour voter but I find it very hard for myself to back Corbyn because he's so radical, not to mention leaving the EU would be a complete disaster and I'd never vote for anyone looking to leave.

So for people actually curious; 

 

The remarks regarding Osama Bin Laden's death being a tragedy were in reference to the fact that he was killed without trial. It was in an interview where he said that he believe everyone should be put on trial and he was critizing the fact that no attempt was made to put him on trial. 

 

He considers 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq all tragedies, and this being the latest in a line of it, because it has brought back and seemingly validated torture in modern political society and even law due to places like Guantanamo existing. 

 

There's a context video with this stuff circulating around Facebook, but I can't find a decent link for it. 

 

In effect; The whole video was just quote taken out of context to make him look bad. Unless full context is given, it's generally bad to believe things like this that are clearly political propaganda.
