LONDON - In 2009, a little-known British politician declared he didn’t want to live in a European empire of the 21st century.
Corbyn’s journey – from Eurosceptic to last line of defense against leaving the EU without a withdrawal agreement, from Socialist rebel to leader of an opposition united against Johnson – is among the most improbable in modern British history. Labour MP Neil Coyle, who backed Corbyn to become party leader in 2015, sums up why for many people he is a divisive figure, and why he came to regret lending Corbyn his support: “He has 30 years of baggage on dodgy issues,” Coyle told Reuters.
Corbyn’s opponents are unconvinced. They believe he still harbors dangerous, hard left views on the economy and foreign policy. Corbyn has a deep-rooted antipathy to Brussels that is unlikely to have changed, these people say. One of Britain’s longest-serving and most respected MPs, Ken Clarke, has known Corbyn for 30 years. “He doesn’t modify his views,” observed Clarke, a former Conservative minister.
Skinner said Corbyn came from a very different Socialist household. “They probably didn’t sit around a table with four or five brothers all arguing the toss about this, that or the other. I can imagine his father would say, ‘Now it’s your turn Jeremy, do you want to make a contribution?’” Mike Gapes, a former Labour MP who now represents a small, centrist party, was also on the Left of Britain’s politics in those early days. Like Corbyn, Gapes voted in a 1975 referendum to leave the forerunner of the EU, the European Economic Area. “We wanted to introduce import controls in the siege economy, a form of Socialism in one country,” Gapes said.
Campbell said some of Corbyn’s allies were “mortified” when they found out he was talking to Adams. Corbyn responded, “We’ve got to get to know what their cause is and what they want, and that was his argument at the time,” Campbell said. “We’ve got to try and understand these people.” Lansman said Corbyn was a good choice because he “didn’t have any enemies. Everybody liked him. He was seen as a principled guy, no kind of side to him.”

Report: More NFL Stadiums Cutting Off Fights After Third QuarterPHILADELPHIA—In an effort to improve fan safety throughout the country, sources confirmed Friday that an increasing number of NFL stadiums are now opting to cut off all fights after the third quarter of games. “Our fans are still free to fight throughout the first three quarters, but we’ve instructed staff to enforce a strict cutoff point to ensure that spectators cannot brawl anywhere within the stadium during the fourth quarter,” said Tom Brennan, facility manager at Lincoln Financial Field, adding that it is vital that ticket holders stop fighting well in advance of the game’s conclusion in order to have ample time to properly recover for their drive home. “We’ve also instituted a limit on getting into more than two fights at once, and we reserve the right to stop fans from fighting at any point if it looks like they’ve had too much. A lot of them unfortunately go a little overboard.” Though many stadium representatives claimed the new policies have improved safety, many observers have reportedly questioned the effectiveness of such restrictions, noting that fans are still allowed to fight freely in the parking lot before, during, and after games. Because 4th quarter is sober up time. It’s just not fair! Thanks nflcommish
