Can you imagine a Labour politician saying that there will be less arms sales and the relationship with the US cooled down. Imagine the outcry, imagine what the blokes would say who work in the armament factories, and imagine the newspaper headlines? With the public so ill informed Corbyn only has a little bit of wiggle room. I don't know how we are going to get out of it without any real news in the media.
I would say that the grassroots movement may be better informed, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I read a few days ago that Momentum, a very left wing group that supports Corbyn, urged the government to bring more sanctions against Russia, an even the Stop The War coalition heckled Cobyn to impose more sanctions on the 'murderous' Russians and Assad. Then a few years Peter Tachell heckled Corbyn about Syria too. These people obviously don't go to Paul Craig Roberts, Steven Lendman, or read Counterpunch to get their news.

Delegates to the recent Labour Party conference in the English seaside town of Brighton seemed not to notice a video playing in the main entrance. The world’s third biggest arms manufacturer, BAe Systems, supplier to Saudi Arabia, was promoting its guns, bombs, missiles, naval ships and fighter aircraft.
