I share your bafflement Sue. I posted something about Milne a few days ago along similar lines -- just what media ADVICE is Milne giving Corbyn? He was a top flight journalist at the fraudian for years, has vast experience of corporate media, quit his job to help JC and Labour and yet their response to the AS smear campaign has been pitiful. Doesn't Milne KNOW it's a smear campaign? If he doesn't he shouldn't be in that job to start with. Why does he allow people like McDonnell to witter on about "rooting out anti-semitism" as he did to a Syk presenter a few Sundays ago? And where is Labour's (ie, Milne's) response to the Hodges and Smeeths and Austins of this world? Why aren't they called out on their naked anti-Corbyn propaganda? Or where is the exposure of Hodge's "200 anti-semitic emails" -- that only 20 of them were party members? Labour should be shouting this from the roof-tops. Corbyn, despite being inundated with the Brexit bollocks, should be holding a major press conference to rebut these ridiculous charges. I really fear for Labour in the coming general election if their media strategy is so piss-poor that they can't handle the AS campaign professionally. Is Milne really so hopeless at PR or is there another explanation (and please don't say Corbyn is playing a canny long game. I simply don't buy that).
