CRIPES : 100,000 NEW CORBYN SUPPORTERS

"Jeremy Corbyn has hailed a 100,000-strong surge in Labour members since the EU  Referendum"
                                                                                                                    The Guardian July 6th

"Labour membership surges by 100,000"  --                                                 New Statesmen July 6th


Labour party membership: 100,000 people set to rally behind Jeremy Corbyn--London Evening Standard

This "news" is of course repeated gleefully across the Tory press and the cable news on TV.


The source for this nice,large,number is somewhat vague.Most of the medya simply quoting some other outlet  which in turn implies it got this "inside " info.from 'Labour Sources".Also that favourite for journalists without a source: " labour officials have been contacted".

No doubt  confidential "labour sources" are giving this 3 carat  gold info.to their friends.Seamus Milne[Corbyn's Brain} is a Guardian journalist of over 20 years and is still officially on their payroll.He is also Corbyn's chief of staff and "adviser"[think: Rasputin/minder/svengali/ protector and guru] .


This surge in membership is spun as being a response to the Parliamentary Vote of No Confidence on June 28th.By the 5th of July claims were appearing across the Tory Medya that over 100,000 new members had joined the Labour Party. They were "overwhelmingly"Corbyn supporters joining to prevent the"Parliamentary Coup" against Jezza.

"New members thought to be preparing to vote to keep Jeremy Corbyn as Labour Party leader, in defiance of the party's MPs"                                                                                                     The Independant

"membership rises by 100,000 as loony left try to rescue Comrade Corbyn" --The Sun,Tabloid

"The “vast majority”of new Labour members..express a preference are backing Jeremy Corbyn"
                                                                                                                         HuffPost UK .


This "news" is of course repeated gleefully across the Tory press and the cable news on TV.It is used editorially as an attempt to panic the "Labour MP and Shadow Cabinet Rebels".The Tories are tearing themselves apart but have always had better survival instincts.There is no sweeter dream for the Telegraph, the Mail and Murdoch's Times & Sun,than an adult Thatcherite, Theresa May running in an election against a divided Labour Party notionally "led"by Clueless Corbyn.Even King cyclops may believe that would be the end of the party whence he came.


 The Party membership offices have been open for 5 days since the motion of  no confidence supported by 80% of Labour MP s. New members can APPLY to join the party either through the party office in Newcastle or on the internet.The internet applications then have to be processed by hand--in Newcastle.

Even in this befuddled Labour Party not just anybody is eligible to join--note  that Boris & Govesy--although the 3 quid electors can be/and have been just about anybody with the price of a pint.Ed Milliband,what can you have been thinking ! Did not your Marxist Daddy teach you that the Party is the vanguard of the proletariat not the vehicle of the Trot Entryists.

Sorry I digress but when you think that the Milliband boys pass for the intellectuals in the modern Labour movement!We were supposed to be the party of the workers by "hand and by brain".

Let us s assume there were 7 days between the 'Parliamentary Coup" and the" informed sources" leaks on 24 hour internet driven new membership numbers. I calculate that means 10 new applications every minute. 

Further there was a maximum of 5 x 8 hour days for party workers in Newcastle to BEGIN reviewing the applications.That means 7 every 10 seconds. I hope no one needed a comfort break.

I know ,I know-- its all being done by computer.

                                                     VERY IMPRESSIVE

 A great deal of  importance is being drummed up on these DRAMATIC numbers of newly minted socialists, marching pitchforks in hand to the CORBYNISTA banner.PROFOUND conclusions are being drawn by pundits across the spectrum from the extreme right to the excitable left--sans the sensible writers in between.

King Cyclops therefore instructed his courtiers to track down ANY official/knowledgible source for the totals and more importantly the documentary evidence suggesting that the "overwhelming" mass of them have listed themselves as Corbyn supporters.


We have found none--unless a single journalist at the Huffington Post will suffice.
