*The establishment is coming for your media*


*John Mann*

John Mann, now truly out in the open as a Tory-made peer and wearing his
peerage proudly in his Twitter handle, is coming for the left media. Using
his role as Boris Johnson’s ‘antisemitism tsar’, he has announced an
investigation into the left media. With no trace of irony, he named the
Canary in his announcement.

The founders of the Canary are Jewish.

Mann, who resigned

as
an MP before the election to take up his Tory peerage and job, has a track
record of anti-Gypsy discrimination and has been blamed

by
local Gypsy Travellers for making their lives a misery. He was interviewed

by
police in a hate-crime investigation, after putting out a leaflet that
included them in a list of anti-social nuisances.

Such details will be ignored by the Establishment media, of course – as
will the fact that Mann seems to have no intention of investigating racism
in the Tory party.

*Tribune* editor Ronan Burtenshaw has written today:

The socialist movement has been here before and we will get through it
stronger — what is genuine will be proven in the fire. But they will come
for us.

The new left media threaten the Establishment – and now the Establishment
intends to make it payback time. If Labour had won last night and embarked
on a programme of removing the media that have smeared it for years, the
media would be up in arms. Yet the Establishment’s decision to come for the
independent media for telling the truth will raise no more than a murmur,
if that.

If you value the genuine voice of the left, it is time to fight for it.
