Dear friends
I think the red wall of Midlands and North Labour strongholds voted Tory because of their strong Brexit, pro military/patriot, anti immigrant, anti foreigner, pro Brits first, sentiments. And, concerns over Britain being 'Full'.
We Brits have always won every war, from the Boer War onwards. 'The Guardian' in February 2014 proved, in a four page spread, how in every single year since at least 1914, the Brits have been engaged in warfare on other people's land. 1968 was the only year that a member of our armed forces has not been killed somewhere around the globe since 1914. The number of Brits slaughtered in warfare since 1945 has now reached over 16,000, I believe. Corbyn must have known that and, I hope, was disturbed.

For me, Corbyn fearlessly, over decades, took the moral high ground with his UN first, pro justice with peace in the Falklands, N Ireland and in Palestine/Israel. He took the moral high ground with his 'war as a last resort, diplomacy first, upholding international law at the International Court of Justice at the Hague', principles. A man of conscience and compassion, too.
It seems, Corbyn has been the traditional, stereotypical Englishman standing up for the underdog in his pro Palestinian stance. Hence, he incurs the ire of the State of Israel, a member of Team America, as BBC's Jeremy Bowen put in last week. Israel is our great friend and ally in protecting the West's strategic interests in the Middle East. Perhaps, Corbyn is seen as disloyal to the West's supremacy in the Middle East. Israel's displeasure with Corbyn has been shown with their relentless campaign of labeling him as antisemitic soon after he became Labour leader and ever since. The media, too has locked onto it with glee, too. Any irony, humour over traditional views of Jewish businessmen and women has been slapped down as examples of antisemitism.

Both Corbyn and SNP First Minister Sturgeon fearlessly stated that if the UK was attacked with nuclear weapons, neither would retaliate with firing off Trident missiles. Both are rightly, nuclear/WMD pacifists. NOT conventional weapons pacifists, however. But their renunciation of the use of WMD is unacceptable to America, Israel and the UK establishment. Certainly, unacceptable to most English and Welsh voters and the unionist voters in N Ireland.
Labour must inspire and lead towards humanity and all life on earth FIRST urgent policies. That means postponing extinction for all life on earth.
Labour must stop the conversion of the 120 Kms (74 miles) Black Country principal mainline railway being turned into:
- VLR tram line with the proposed extension of the Stourbridge Shuttle onto a mainline railway!!
- LR Metro tram line to destroy the integrity/unity of the 120 Kms.
- VLR and innovation centre on the only feasible site of Dudley Castle Gate railway station
- new extended 16 Kms cycle-walkway from Walsall to Lichfield on this forgotten, still unfinished mainline railway
Happy Christmas
