Calling for a Public Inquiry into the demonization of Jeremy Corbyn


Calling for a Public Inquiry into the demonization of Jeremy Corbyn
The Issue
Jeremy Corbyn was a victim of a smear campaign of lies because his policies were seen as a danger to the ruling establishment and supported by various leading media. These lies levelled against Corbyn were instrumental in his resignation
It could possibly be a bit naïve to suggest that lies or perhaps we can say that an ‘economy of truth’ have not always been a part of politics. But crucially, when these lies lead to the resignation of upstanding and hardworking politicians then surely this needs to be challenged. Politics need to be built on a bedrock of honesty and integrity; lies and deceit should always be challenged and never be allowed to be an integral and resounding aspect of our political system.
When members of the government are allowed to create misinformation and fabricate complete untruths and we the public are powerless to challenge or bring to account those responsible for the outlandish creation of lies then we might as well all just go home.
