ELECTIONS MATTER – AT 9:55 A.M. ET:  The British Labour party recently elected the most extreme left-wing leader in its history.   The election created an uproar in the saner ranks of British politics.  But the left will not be denied, and it always acts like the left.  From the Times of Israel:

UK Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has appointed controversial figure Suemas Milne as his director of strategy & communications, the Telegraph reported.

Milne has in the past praised the “resistance” against British troops in Iraq and has justified terror attacks against Israel.

Milne, a regular contributor to the Guardian newspaper, wrote in a 2004 article that Iraqi terrorists were the country’s true liberators and called their attacks a “resistance war.”

During an anti-Israel rally in 2014, he said Israel had no right to defend itself from Gaza terrorism, claiming the state continued to occupy the Palestinian territory.

“It isn’t terrorism to fight back,” he said of attacks from Hamas against Israel. “The terrorism is the killing of citizens by Israel on an industrial scale.”

Following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, he wrote that the US had brought the tragedy upon itself through its actions in the Middle East.

Corbyn himself has also been criticized for claiming that it was a “tragedy” that bin Laden had been killed before he could stand trial for the 2001 attacks.

COMMENT:  Nice, huh?  I wonder if the fashion plates among British and American "intellectuals" will have much to say about this. 

It's highly unlikely that Corbyn could become prime minister, but it's not impossible.  The very fact that Britain's second largest party is headed by an idiot fanatic is a nightmare itself.
