Seumas Milne, the new head of PR for Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the opposition party in the UK and the head of the Labour Party, has just the right background for his boss, a self-described democratic socialist, who supports free university and universal nuclear disarmament, and who has praised Hamas & Hezbollah as friends.
Milne - a former comments editor at The Guardian - has opined that “communism in the Soviet Union, eastern Europe and elsewhere delivered rapid industrialization, mass education, job security and huge advances in social and gender equality," and has praised communist government for having “encompassed genuine idealism and commitment.”
He has lamented the fall of communism in East Germany, complaining that under communism there was "a country of full employment, social equality, cheap housing, transport and culture, one of the best childcare systems in the world, and greater freedom in the workplace than most employees enjoy in today’s Germany.”
Milne recently praised “the innate humanity of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara’s legacy” and complained that the media ignored “the other [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad, who is seen to stand up for the country’s independence, expose elite corruption on TV and use Iran’s oil wealth to boost the incomes of the poor majority.”
When Lee Rigby, the off-duty army officer was pulled from his car and beheaded on a British street, Milne said the “attack wasn’t terrorism in the normal sense of an indiscriminate attack on civilians.”
Lovely, huh?
