UK: Jeremy Corbyn says he backed antisemitic mural on “grounds of freedom of speech”

21

Freedom of speech for Jew-haters, yes, of course Corbyn spoke up for that. He has recently been discovered to be a member of two anti-Semitic Facebook groups. He claims he was added to them without his knowledge. But the true pattern of his thinking keeps emerging.

Note also Corbyn’s ignorance: “Why? You are in good company. Rockerfeller destroyed Diego Viera’s mural because it includes a picture of Lenin.”

It’s “Rockefeller,” not “Rockerfeller,” and Diego Viera is a soccer player. The mural that was destroyed was painted by Diego Rivera.

“Jeremy Corbyn says he backed antisemitic mural on ‘grounds of freedom of speech,’” by Rosa Doherty, The JC, March 23, 2018 (thanks to Mark):

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he backed the painting of a mural containing antisemitic imagery on the grounds of free speech.

The graphic, Freedom for Humanity, was painted on a property near Brick Lane in London’s East End by renowned international graffiti artist Kalen Ockerman, known as Mear One, in 2012.

It depicted a group of businessmen and bankers sitting around a Monopoly-style board and counting money. The artwork was painted on the end wall of a private property, but was removed by local authorities after complaints from residents .

At the time Mr Corbyn offered support to Mr Ockerman.

When the artist wrote on Facebook that the mural was to be removed, Mr Corbyn responded with a message from his personal Facebook account.

He wrote: “Why? You are in good company. Rockerfeller destroyed Diego Viera’s mural because it includes a picture of Lenin.”

Mr Corbyn did not respond to request from the JC to explain his comments when they became public in 2015.

Today, a spokesperson for the Labour leader said: “In 2012, Jeremy was responding to concerns about the removal of public art on grounds of freedom of speech.

“However, the mural was offensive, used antisemitic imagery, which has no place in our society, and it is right that it was removed.”…

Anti-semite Lies, smear , falsehoods are “freedom of speech” and exposing and opposing jihadi terrorists/criminals is jailable offense for Left/liberal scumbags Like corbyn and Theresa May !

Brit patriots who oppose / expose truth about jihadi crimes are harassed, arrested , lose jobs
jailed or killed https://tinyurl.com/y97wxppl

So a mural with Muhammad depicted as a pedophile and war criminal should be OK.

I guess if we did an anti-Islamic mural, it would be classified as Free Speech?
I don’t think so. They don’t have Free Speech in the UK.
We all learned that from the Pamela Geller ban!!!

WHERE TF was Jeremy Corbin when it came to Free Speech for
Paul Weston of LibertyGB during Mr. Weston’s recitation of a few
paragraphs from Winston Churchill’s, “The River War???”
Don’t think he even mentioned the part about
Islam in a man is more dangerous than hydrophobia in a dog.

Leftist ‘Free Speech’ is only for Nasties … albeit under different labels and never well-dressed.

The only possible redeeming value of corbyn is that after he has been PM for a few months, the whole UK will convulse into an extremely violent civil war which will lead to either the death of many leftists and muslims or the permanent death of a free UK. This man is vile at best and just another example of an extreme unfettered western Marxist. If he does win such a civil war there will be MANY Katyn Woods hidden away amongst the greenery of the UK.

One great thing about the Internet…Anything public figures say or do is usually reported about in one way or the other on the internet and is forever in cyberspace…Ready there for someone with a good memory and a good search engine to find and promulgate…Corbyn is such a scuzz

Freedom of speech does not exist in the UK and is a crime punishable by prison. Britain First’s leaders Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen are rotting in prison now for speaking up against muslim rape gangs and shariah creep in the UK. Jeremy Corbyn is no champion of “free speech”. He is , however, a monumental liar.

he’s a communist through & through and has no regard or love of free speech. His language is one of austere rhetorical socialism.

The pitiful excuse for a man Corbyn is a self confessed Jew hating Marxist supporter of Hamas. He needs bringing Down.
