"It's a F***ing Disaster": Marxist Terrorist Supporter Corbyn Elected Brit Labour Leader in Landslide

Mayday

How's that End of History thing working for you?

We wrote about Jeremy Corbyn only a few weeks ago, and even then many thought his recent surge in popularity was a temporary fluke.

Now he's Tony Blair in 1994.

Who looks like Harry Dean Stanton gone to seed.

For Corbyn's thoughts on Marx and Marxism, see here. For his general "very radical" views, see here.

The Daily Mail reports on his election:

It's a f***ing disaster': Utter dismay from senior Labour MPs as Corbyn victory triggers SEVEN resignations from front bench

• Labour frontbenchers announce resignations within minutes of news hardline leftwinger had won leadership contest
• Leadership rival Yvette Cooper confirms she will not serve under Corbyn, followed by Tristram Hunt and Liz Kendall
• Rachel Reeves, Chuka Umunna, Jamie Reed and Emma Reynolds also refuse to serve under radical new leader
• A total of 422,000 of the 550,000 Labour members took part in the vote, with Corbyn taking more than 251,000

Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader was today branded a 'f***ing disaster' by senior members of his own party. 

Modernisers who hoped to find a candidate who can take on the Tories are utterly dismayed at being led by the Marxist throwback who opposes austerity, the monarchy and Britain's membership. 

Within minutes of his victory being announced, senior MPs started resigning from the shadow cabinet saying they could not serve under him as some warned he would not survive a year in the role. 

In his acceptance speech Mr Corbyn declared that Labour's election fightback is gathering speed as he stormed to victory in the Labour leadership contest, winning almost 60 per cent of the vote in the first round. 

But one senior Labour MP told MailOnline: 'It's a f***ing disaster.' 

Another MP said it was 'absolutely disastrous' for the party. He said Mr Corbyn would be 'vicious' and move to deselect rebel MPs by flooding the party with the new supporters. 

A former frontbencher said: 'I will give him 12 months. I can't see him lasting any longer than that.' 

In the most extraordinary result in modern political history, the 66-year-old Marxist throwback who has never run anything in his life will now take charge of the party of Keir Hardie, Clement Atlee and Tony Blair. 

There were cheers at the QEII Conference Centre in central London as it was confirmed that the unassuming Islington MP had defied all expectations – including his own – to become leader of Her Majesty's Official Opposition. 

After thanking the unions, attacking the media, and accusing the Conservatives of 'social cleansing', Mr Corbyn declared: 'The fightback for our party now gathers speed and gathers pace.' 

After the party was swamped by 360,000 new members, he stormed to victory in the first round easily beating better-known rivals Andy Burnham, Yvette Cooper and Liz Kendall. 

Supporters wept and punched the air, chanting 'Jez we did, Jez we did', as Mr Corbyn took to the stage to deliver a call for unity...

UK Labour Frontrunner Jeremy Corbyn Called For "Acceptance and Understanding" of ISIS Supporters, Likened US Troops to ISIS

A homeless man takes the microphone at a Corbyn rally. Just kidding, it's Corbyn himself.

You think British Prime Minister David Cameron is soft on Islamic terrorism, consider Jeremy Corbyn, his potential rival in the next general election.

The 66-year old hard-left Labour MP surprised even himself by narrowly getting enough votes to stand as a nominee, but is now running first in the polls for new leader of the Party.

The Economist describes his general politics thusly:

Mr Corbyn stands out as a (socialist) throwback. For him no policy is too dog-eared, no intellectual dead-end too futile. Public spending? Yes, please. Higher taxes? Soak the capitalists and the landlords. State ownership? Nationalise the railways and utilities, get the private sector out of public services and reopen the coal mines. If that were the secret of prosperity, Britain would never have fallen apart in the 1970s and Tony Blair would not have won three elections at the head of a modernised centre-left Labour Party. 

No prizes for concluding that Mr Corbyn would not get The Economist’s vote. He is stridently anti-American and anti-Israel—though he is a “friend” of Hamas and Venezuela. To him, Britain’s nuclear weapons are evil and always were. NATO is a warmongers’ plot to enrich the military-industrial complex. The European Union risks being a Trojan horse for liberalism.

In other words, he's the British Pope Francis.

He also appears to be almost an apologist for ISIS. From Yesterday's Daily Mail:

Jeremy Corbyn compared Islamic State brutality to US military action in Iraq in a TV interview, it emerged yesterday. 

The Labour leadership frontrunner called for 'acceptance and understanding' of IS supporters while speaking on Russia Today, the Kremlin-backed broadcaster, in June last year. 

He only condemned 'some' of the brutal regime's actions in Iraq, saying: 'Yes they are brutal, yes some of what they have done is quite appalling, likewise what American forces did in Fallujah and other places is quite appalling.' 

On the day he spoke, there were 32 people killed as militants fought for control of an oil refinery. Just weeks later, the first video of a hostage beheading was released. 

Former Labour adviser John McTernan said Mr Corbyn's comparison was 'nauseating' and showed he was 'not fit to be the leader of the party'.

No one seems to think that if he becomes leader he could lead his party to win an election, but we've heard that one before. These are strange times we live in. And the Economist and others have pointed out the negative consequences even he goes no further than becoming Shadow Prime Minister.

On the brighter side, could Corbyn vs. Cameron help UKIP?
