Default BBC bias: Corbyn and le Penn interviewed on the Andrew Marr programme

Marr gave us a sort of 'health warning' before the le Pen interview,
because she's 'far right'. No such warning before the Corbyn interview
about him being 'far left'.

Marine le Pen was pestered about her father's 30-year-old comments about
the Holocaust.

Corbyn on the other hand, wasn't even asked about the Labour Party's
current anti-Semitism.

You probably missed it. It's where female Jewish MPs get death threats,
hints that Hitler got it right etc. Easy to dismiss, unless of course you
are the target.

Or say they did. It counts as anti-semitism even if they didn't get
death threats but say they did. That's Rule 1.

Rule 2 says anybody who doesn't accept Rule 1 is antisemitic.

Rule 3 says anybody who doesn't accept either Rule 2 or Rule 1 is
antisemitic.

Rule n says ...

Of course.

Can you cite any reference to this?

They call themselves "Social Conservatives" but that is not a brand of
socialism. The wikipedia article on National Front (France) and most
references say the party occupies the centre-right.

Either way no one can confuse the NF and a truly socialist party, unless
of course you would accuse the Tory party of being socialist?

A better example is the Nazis, they really were socialist
with the state getting involved in even car manufacturing
and the state providing free holidays for workers etc.

France has always been central state dirigiste.

Marine recognises this. The French like to be given orders by their
government, so they can protest against them.

The difference between Marine and the EU, is that she is French, and the
orders will exclude people she thinks are 'not French'

So she is a national socialist, not an international socialist.

"During the 1980s, Jean-Marie Le Pen complained about the rising number
of "social parasites", and called for deregulation, tax cuts, and the
phasing-out of the welfare state. As the party gained growing support
from the economically vulnerable, *it converted towards politics of
social welfare and economic protectionism*. This was part of its shift
away from its former claim of being the "social, popular and national
right" to its claim of being "neither right nor left French!"
Increasingly, the party's program became an amalgam of free market and
welfarist policies, which some political commentators have claimed are
left-wing economic policies.

Under her leadership, Marine Le Pen has been more clear in her support
for protectionism, while she has criticised globalism and capitalism for
certain industries. She has been characterised as a proponent of
*letting the government take care of health, education, transportation,
banking and energy.*

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Front_(France)

BY socialist I don't mean that she or the party espouses Marxism, more
that she recognises the French attachment to state run services.

Exactly.
In fact a lot of the so called Fascist Right were in fact socialists.
Just National Socialists as opposed to the International Socialists -
the Marxists and Bolsheviks.

The defining characteristic being the common belief that a centralised
state bureaucracy is the right way to tackle social and economic problems.

Contrast the more libertarian approach of the centre right like UKIP
which recognises the deep limitations of government in tackling many
problems, and prefers a lightweight laissez faire approach, less
government and use of a free market (within limits) to find its own
level and take economic development forward, and a less interfering
government that encourages the people themselves to sort out local
social problems, not impose top down solutions from centralised authority.

Its a funny thing, but no one I have ever talked to who declares they
are a 'socialist' has ever provided a coherent definition of what it
actually means.

Most waffle on about 'social justice' as if the phrase had any real meaning.

When questioned they all seem to agree its about 'righting social
wrongs' (whatever that means) with government as the agency to do it.

And that is what populist 'national (or international) socialists' claim
too. Take all that stuff from those rich nasty Jews and give it to the
Good Aryan Volk...Take all the money from those bloated Jewish
capitalist banksters and give it to the good multicultural UK citizens.....

At least Le Pen says 'take France back from the EU and the Algerians and
give it back to the French'

Which is a softer message than Hitler or Corbyn.

IME, "socialism" is what people are pointing at when they say "this is

I'm a socialist. However, the problem with socialism (and communism) is
that most of the socialist and communist governments have rarely
practised socialism and communism.

Yes it does, so you can probably guess what I think. One way of
assessing how far to the left or right a politician is might be to
imagine how much good or bad they could do if they came to power. On
that basis I'd say Mr Corbyn is an extremist because Marxism would
destroy the economy and Stalinism would destroy free speech.
I can't imagine that Mme le Pen could do that much damage.

Yes it does, so you can probably guess what I think. One way of
assessing how far to the left or right a politician is might be to
imagine how much good or bad they could do if they came to power. On
that basis I'd say Mr Corbyn is an extremist because Marxism would
destroy the economy and Stalinism would destroy free speech.
I can't imagine that Mme le Pen could do that much damage.


She would damage the Left immeasurably, as Trump will in the USA.

Leftism is a massive network of crony nepotism, all sharing a 'common
purpose' which is to enslave the citizens and bleed the nations dry to
fund their virtue signalling lifestyles.

It is Leftism that is being rejected all over Europe and the USA. AS the
scales drop from the eyes of all except the super deluded...


Party versus Proletariat.

And the plebs if not winning, have certainly socked it to the Party.

:-) ... and I don't think Corbyn is a Stalinist, whether he's
Marxist or not I don't really know.

Right. Making St Nige rather left of Marx?

I'd not call him left. He is what all Labour was before the rich socialists
decided to hijack the party. The problem is that the rest of his party are
rich socialists.

There seems to be an epidemic of trying to put various genies back into
bottles around at the moment. the federal EU the multiculturalism and
traditional socialism trying to put the new lot back.

Luckily I never saw either as the bbc has no decent interviewers these days
that politicians cannot tie in knots with non answers to other questions
they were not asked.

Marr gave us a sort of 'health warning' before the le Pen interview,
because she's 'far right'. No such warning before the Corbyn interview
about him being 'far left'.

Marine le Pen was pestered about her father's 30-year-old comments about
the Holocaust.

Corbyn on the other hand, wasn't even asked about the Labour Party's
current anti-Semitism.

More fool you.

Which is about as left as you can get in mainstream politics in Britain,
silly.

Not all of them are rich.

There are no genies and no bottles.

put the new lot back.


That's always been the way politics works.

Corbyn has never managed to do that.

It is obvious, really. Normal people need to be told that the person whose
views they agree with is a bad individual.

Perhaps they expect viewers to know just a little about UK politics.
But given the recent referendum, nothing at all about politics in EU
countries.

Marine le Pen was pestered about her father's 30-year-old comments about
the Holocaust.


Probably to establish if his mental illness had been passed on to her.

Corbyn on the other hand, wasn't even asked about the Labour Party's
current anti-Semitism.


Only you would mix up facts with meja invention.

The idea that there is any kind of equivalence between the Front
National and the Labour party is preposterous.

And since you have nothing to say to justify it your post is a waste of
time.

Well apart from their alleged anti-semitism, correct.

The National Front speaks for the citizens of France.
The Labour party speaks for the citizens of Islington.


And since you have nothing to say to justify it your post is a waste of

Just google "anti-semitism in corbyns labour party" and read some of the
230,000 results...
