Jeremy Corbyn – a real working class hero unlike Bernie Sanders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jeremy Corbyn is a real working class hero, who won’t blink unlike America’s Bernie Sanders. But the Tory machine, and their Fabian Blairite allies are trying to depose him. How many of these new Labour members are actually Tories? We hope he stays as leader of Labour in Britain.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Too electable to be elected
\nA threat to all who know
\nThe easy life of capitalism
\nTheir true colours they now show.
\nBenevolent Tory is their real politics
\nBeing real, Corbyn is far too Red
\nThey might lose, along with all the rich
\nSooner a Fabian instead.<\/p>\n

They can keep their condecending notions
\nTheir Noblesse oblige<\/em><\/a>
\nThey can take their fancy titles
\nEnjoy others refer to them as “My Liege<\/em><\/a>”
\nThe workers will vote in Corbyn
\nThis is no fairytale romance
\nA cold hard fact capitalists try to thwart
\nSo the British worker never gets the chance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
