Corbyn, Quoting Shelley.. Options

[TallDarkAndHands...]

"Stand ye calm and resolute,
Like a forest close and mute,
With folded arms and looks which are
Weapons of unvanquished war.
And if then the tyrants dare,
Let them ride among you there;
Slash, and stab, and maim and hew;
What they like, that let them do.
With folded arms and steady eyes,
And little fear, and less surprise,
Look upon them as they slay,
Till their rage has died away:
Then they will return with shame,
To the place from which they came,
And the blood thus shed will speak
In hot blushes on their cheek:
Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!"
Shelley

Not sure what to make of that!
Is it a call to arms to overthrow the government "rise like lions" or a pacifist saying you can kill us all and we will just take it? 😮

"YOU SHOULD STAY! Jeremy Corbyn tried to persuade shamed Labour MP Jared O’Mara NOT to resign from the Commons equalities committee
At a private meeting of Labour MPs earlier this week the Labour leader said he shouldn’t have been forced to stand down from the influential committee - despite being exposed for homophobic and racist comments"

What were the racist and homophobic comments? The ones I saw were a bit rude and sexist but nothing particularly shameful.

His local rag says "On Monday Mr O'Mara resigned from his position on the Commons Women and Equalities Committee in a row over homophobic and sexist online comments he admitted he posted more than a decade ago."

Why would he admit to something he hadn't done?

Further scientific evidence. That's a quote from a newspaper.
