It is all very well for Rafael Behr to go on about,
yet again, Corbyn`s "personal ratings being amongst the worst ever recorded",
but is it any wonder (The schism at the heart of Corbynism is now clearly
visible,28/09/16)? Even in a left-leaning paper like the Guardian, how rarely
does a front page concentrate on the failings of the Tories, rather than
Corbyn`s apparent mismanagement, unelectability, poor leadership qualities, or
whatever?
At the bottom of page four, we can read of
the absolutely disgraceful statistic that a mere three employers have been
prosecuted out of the seven hundred who have broken the law by paying workers
below the minimum wage (Under-paying bosses escape prosecution,28/09/16). Not
worthy of front-page coverage? Not more important than the greed of a football
manager? Then there`s the matter of May`s appalling attitude to the refugee
crisis, to the gender pay gap, and to the use of arms sold to the Saudis, all
the while claiming to be fighting "burning injustice", and all the while, hidden
in the inner recesses of the paper.
If the Guardian is so focused on its
anti-Corbyn campaign as to let this already-appallingly duplicitous government
off the hook, imagine what the Tory press are doing!
