It’s all a bit „enemy of my enemy“ with the far left. Corbyn getting in bed with fundamentalist Islamic dictators. Polanksi courting conservative Muslims. Useful idiots, the lot of them.
Yikes. Trump is a bad guy. But the iran government are definitely *also* bad guys
Every single time. Corbyn’s love for the West’s enemies is impressive in its consistency.
It is possible to be against foreign intervention, without directly expressing support for the Iranian regime. Don’t understand why so many seem to think they have to choose one.
Iran bad.. America bad… we don’t have to support a bloodthirsty dictator to think USA shouldn’t have the right to assassinate leaders at will
I don’t think this is true at all, the right wing media will always twist things. I’m not seeing any pro Ayatollah banners, only anti war.
The problem with Corbyn is he sees a nation being anti-UK as them somehow being anti-imperialism, which is a very immature way to look at the world.
The fact he has continuously attacked the government for helping Ukraine after being invaded does never ending damage to the political left in this country.
>west bad
I wonder if he joined the [thousands of Iranians who were protesting the regime](https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/london-iran-protest-downing-street-embassy-b1265995.html) for massacring civilians a couple weeks ago.
Didnt Iran make a tonne of ied’s that killed British service personnel
Supporting someone who literally ordered protesters to be gunned down isn’t a good look… Even if it took Trump being a megalomaniac to potentially take him down.
FFS, read the room Corbyn.
I know a lot of Iranians in the UK, none of them are pro Iranian government.
This is why the left can never make any progress. Most of its participants are just holding „stop the war“ type banners, but no one has the confident to tell the supporters of the regime to fuck off. So „stop the war“ gets mixed in with „I love brutal theocracies“ and becomes the crazy position.
could you be banned if you wanted to counter mainstream beliefs on this in good faith?
I really want say some opinions but I dont wanna get perma banned….
This man has become a bit of a caricature of himself.
The banners all say “No war”
There is ONE saying “be on right side of history” with khomenei face
So how is he pro Iran?
Criticising him for being pro Iran would be empty in any case. Iran has likely killed tens of thousand of its own people (I don’t believe the ridiculous numbers being sent out like 40,000 but it’s still shockingly high) in the last few months. But how many people have USA and Israel (and UK by collaboration) killed this century through direct and indirect attacks? Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, endless blockades in Cuba …
Corbyn loves an oppressive authoritarian regime that kills its citizens as long as thy are anti-western.
Also look at the big brains over on /r/greenandpleasant, they have the same view. If they went outside, I am sure they would join the protest too
It really is hard not to conclude that he just hates the West.
His deranged brother beside him. Blood is thicker than water, they say.
The hard left supporting a regime who hate women and lgbt+ folk? Yikes.
Can we just have a break from these constant protests? Sick to the bloody teeth of a new one every week. When did this start to become all the bloody time?
Lefties in shambles.
(Every downvote is a shamble).
Jezzbollah at it again I see. He is losing the plot more and more with each passing year.
It’d be amazing if we cared as much about the problems this country faces as we do with third-party conflicts we’re not involved in
The fact that he was anywhere near prime minister this country is frightening
Why is everyone in this thread taking a daily mail headline at face value? I’m no fan of the man, but per his statement on social media earlier it looks like the protest was “anti war” and not pro the Iranian government.
Is that his brother Piers he’s protesting with?
Didn’t Piers support Trump for a while? He’s probably regretting that now.
Well the Ayatollah seems to be a bit dead now. A tad unsuccessful from Corbyn…
How is this in doubt?
Man you English need some self awareness.
This was an anti war protest, not a pro Iran protest.
So what he actually did was join a protest against the strikes on Iran. That protest included some („hundreds“ out of thousands) pro-regime protestors as well as many general anti-war and anti-trump protestors.
Mothan Ali is also there, he seems upset the Iranian people will have more freedom than his wife.
Somebody wake up MI5 please
There was a literal protest with the banners of the Shah Iran.
Let’s be real, Corbyn sides with religious fundamentalists.
There are lots of things to criticise Corbyn for but I don’t think this is really one of them, anyone with any degree of sense should oppose this war which seems almost certain to be a complete catastrophe.
I still can’t believe he was once a viable candidate. Either of the Millibrands would have been better than him.
Another narrative twisted daily mail article served up and mindlessly consumed by the mindless 🙄
I think most people are against what the US and Israel are currently doing, Trump and Netanyahu are waging a war of aggression, and belong in the Hague. But they should be sharing that cell in the Hague with Iranian leaders for their crimes against their own citizens. I hope the Iranian people are freed from their current tyranny, but I suspect if they are, another tyranny will be imposed on them. Whether it’s an Ayatollah or a Shah, or whatever megacorporatist monster Trump presumably wants, a tyrant is a tyrant.
The mans a complete idiot whos high on his dictator like popularity with a very small minority of the population
Didn’t the Ayatollah killed thousand of protesters why the hell would anyone support them
Wow! I knew he was a bit of a nut but this is crazy!
I’ve supported Iranian self-determination for a long time and that never included the Ayotollah. I’m genuinely surprised by this, I thought Corbyn was largely misunderstood in using the language of diplomacy where others would take a harder line but, uh! This is wrong
this was a very broad spur of the moment protest that attracted people against the US/Western intervention in Iran. Those on the left, like Corbyn, are for the resistance and a change of government, but are against war and bombing the region. There were also people in attendance who are against the resistance, supported Ayatollah and are also against war and bombing in the region.
Both groups share a common thread leading to them attending, but their politics and what they support is very different. It’s unfair to lump Corbyn and left wing protestors as Ayatollah supporters at a spontaneous protest.
and is that psycho piers corbyn behind him? (the anti vax brother x)
Most of Reddit… a lot of this thread. I’m not that far left.
And THAT, is the end of The Green Party after being supported by Corbyn.
He’s a walking liability smh
