I am Dutch, we are just very direct. No offense meant. I am just tired of all the lies spread about Corbyn. (I used to live in the UK)

I am not telling lies about what Corbyn did.

Corbyn had little to no say in the course of Brexit. The path was set by vested Tory interests and their hangers-on the media. Corbyn never had a majority. I understand you do not like it. I understand technically the brexit vote could have been ignored. But it would be fundamentally undemocratic

Corbyn had a part to play and he fluffed it, losing a lot of Labour support in the process. The referendum was advisory, not binding & too close to a 50/50 split, the resulting brexit is certainly undemocratic which is partly why it has failed.

I lived in the UK from 1993 till 2005. It was a lovely country. Warm, funny, vibrant, rich, free. It has turned into a shithole, getting worse everytime I visit. That is not Corbyn's fault. It sits WAY deeper. It is a failing 'Centrist' clique who loathes ordinary people and squanders its wealth.

But that democratic process got sabotaged by Labour 'Centrist' who do not give a jot about democracy. They used Corbyn's tightrope dance on eggshells as a means to undermine him and democracy. And they succeeded. To the detriment of the UK.

Corbyn had a very difficult part to play because Labour voters were badly split over Brexit: 1/3 for, 2/3 against. But loosing Labour brexiteers would loose 2/3 of Labour seats in d house because of where the brexiteers resided. So Corbyn wanted a democratic process shape Labour's official policies
