I have copied this fact sheet from Google Drive to counteract all the negative press towards a good man with so much integrity and common decency that it terrifies the establishment. The status quo are clearly orchestrating a distasteful smear campaign as they lose ground on Corbyn and The Labour Party in the polls. We cannot let this happen and must not believe everything we hear in the mainstream media who are simply bending the truth to suit their own ends. The following fact sheet underlines the fact that Jeremy Corbyn has a extensive track record for speaking out against injustice wherever it is found and has gone on record to support the Jewish community, women, the LGBT community, Trade Unionists and the Kurds over the years. In addition, there are many examples of our future Prime Minister condemning the IRA, Putin’s Russia and Holocaust deniers.
I would definitely rather a man with the following record of honour of public discourse take charge of our country, rather than a man who openly compares women who wear burqas with letterboxes. The degree of Islamophobia in the Conservative Party is appalling and little is said about this. Labour have taken a stand against antisemitism, and rightly so, but the right wing attacks continue to be made. This is because those on the right wing are running out of ideas and have no decent policies to challenge Labour on a level playing field.
Open your minds and read the following fact sheet before deciding who you want as your next Prime Minister.
