Jeremy Corbyn citáty

Jeremy Bernard Corbyn je britský politik a aktivista. 12. septembra 2015 sa stal predsedom Labouristickej strany a tým pádom súčasne aj lídrom opozície. Členom dolnej komory britského parlamentu je od roku 1983, kedy bol zvolený za volebný obvod Islington North v Londýne. Už v mladom veku pôsobil ako ľavicový aktivista a dobrovoľník. Patrí k ľavicovému krídlu Labouristickej strany. Pre svoje postoje je však vnímaný aj kontroverzne.Vo februári 2018 sa objavili obvinenia, že Jeremy Corbyn mal v 80. rokoch 20. storočia vedome spolupracovať s česko-slovenskou komunistickou Štátnou bezpečnosťou. Corbyn však tieto obvinenia odmietol ako nepravdivé a označil ich za ohováranie. V auguste 2018 zas čelil kritike pre údajné uctenie pamiatky páchateľov tzv. Mníchovského masakra, kedy skupina palestínskych teroristov zavraždila 11 izraelských športovcov počas Letných olympijských hier v roku 1972 v Mníchove. Corbyn následne priznal, že sa ceremoniálu uctenia týchto páchateľov v roku 2014 zúčastnil, no nepoložil na ich hroby žiadne vence. Kvôli tomu si vyslúžil i obvinenia z antisemitizmu. Wikipedia

Jeremy Corbyn: Citáty v angličtine

“That is the real pressure in our society.”

Speech https://www.facebook.com/JeremyCorbynMP/videos/10154367015683872/ Jeremy Corbyn's speech at the Durham Miner's Gala during the Labour Party (UK) leadership election, 2016
2000s
Kontext: There’s a lot of debate about what’s happening in the Labour party at the present time. And I am inundated with questions, questions, questions all the time. And I have patience that is infinite to answer questions, questions, questions. But one I got today really did puzzle me. They said: how are you coping with the pressure that’s on you? I simply said this: ‘There is no pressure on me. None whatsoever.’ The real pressure, the real pressure – real pressure – is when you don’t have enough money to feed your kids, when you don’t have a roof over your head, when you're wondering if you're going to be cared for. When you're wondering how you can survive. You're wondering how you're going to cope with the debts you've incurred … That is the real pressure in our society. For those people struggling on low pay, struggling on zero-hours contracts, not knowing what's coming from one week to the other, not knowing if they'll be able to pay the rent, not knowing if they're going to be homeless, not knowing if their children will end up in care, that's the kind of brutal pressure that's put on people every day of the week in this country.

“I believe honestly and deeply that the treatment of whales is an example of the evil intelligence of humankind in relation to the rest of the natural world. We have seen greed of the most impossible kind descending on the Arctic and the Antarctic to destroy the most intelligent and beautiful creatures that the planet can produce…We are in the process of destroying much of the planet through destruction of the ozone layer, leading to the greenhouse effect, and the destruction of life. The whale is an example of how such destruction happens. As the ozone layer is destroyed the plankton in the Southern ocean will die and the whales will lose much of their food. Last year we opposed the Antarctic Minerals Bill because we feared that it would lead to pollution of the Southern ocean and damage the whales' food supply. The Government must oppose any extension of whaling of any type, scientific or otherwise, and I hope and trust that they will do so. But we must go further. Countries which engage in the barbarity of so-called scientific whaling, which in reality is crude commercialism of the nastiest kind, deserve retribution from us all and we must bring every possible sanction to bear against them. If we do not take care of our planet and our environment, and of animals such as the whale, mankind will suffer and our planet will die because we have not cared for the natural environment that we all share.”

“This is my sixth attempt to introduce the Bill with the support of hon. Members and pensioner organisations all over Britain…Many statistics show the condition of elderly people. When the Social Security Act 1988 abolished supplementary benefit and what went with it, 30 per cent. of Britain's retired population were living on or below supplementary benefit levels. Despite the Government's claim that many elderly people are quite wealthy, at that time only 39 per cent. lived more than 140 per cent. above the level of supplementary benefit. In other words, at least 60 per cent. of Britain's elderly people live at a poor level, and 30 per cent. of them live below the poverty line. That is a scandal and the House should draw attention to it and enact my Bill to improve that situation…The Bill is a seven-point plan which, if carried into law, would change the face of Britain and eliminate poverty among the elderly… Britain is the seventh richest country in the world. It is a disgrace that so many elderly people die alone and in misery through hypothermia, not for lack of resources to provide for them, but for the lack of political will to distribute those resources to ensure that pensioners are well cared for and can live in decency in their retirement.”
