The Mysterious Disappearance of Corbyn’s New E book
Again in April, Jeremy Corbyn introduced an thrilling enterprise for his Peace and Justice vainness venture: a elaborate new guide known as Why We Are Socialists. Jeremy wouldn’t really write it himself, presumably as a result of explaining why anybody is a socialist proved too tough. As a substitute, he requested his supporters to do it for him – at no cost. They’d ship in their very own “quick biographies“, and he’d decide the very best, alongside former LOTO staffer Barry James. Unpaid workforce efficiently exploited, the guide would then launch in September, with pre-orders instantly out there for the common-or-garden value of £9.99…
It’s now mid-October. The place is the guide? The web site hyperlink is now lifeless. The Twitter account has been deleted. The entire venture has vanished into skinny air…
His followers had been, fairly rightly, livid. Simply days in the past, one comrade/buyer revealed she had written her excerpt, handed over her money, and heard completely nothing from the Peace and Justice Undertaking since:
.@corbyn_project @jeremycorbyn I’ve emailed PJP, despatched PJP a message on their Fb web page twice, tweeted to each PJP & Mr Corbyn asking when the guide can be delivered and have obtained NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER. That is the way you deal with supporters?! 2/

Sadly for Lynda, apparently the entire thing has been postponed till no less than “subsequent 12 months“. A spokesperson for the Peace and Justice Undertaking claimed to Guido:
“I’ve requested round about this and the funds for the guide are being refunded and the guide must be available for purchase once more subsequent 12 months. Refunds are additionally presently being processed. I apologise for any inconvenience this may occasionally have triggered.”
Why it was cancelled postponed, and why it’s taken so lengthy to ship refunds is anybody’s guess. Possibly demand was simply so excessive it takes a very long time to course of the orders. Possibly…
