نامه به جرمی کوربین نماینده پارلمان و رهبر حزب کارگر!

 

به‌عنوان هنرمندان و نویسندگان مایلیم مراتب سپاس خود را از شما به‌دلیل ارتقاء آگاهی سیاسی در کشور به سطحی که از جنگ جهانی دوم به‌این سو بی‌سابقه بوده است اعلام داریم.

انسانیت، شهامت و بصیرت شما نسل جدیدی از کنشگران سوسیالیست را سازمان بخشیده است.

فعالیت ما عمدتاً بازتاب‌دهنده جهانی‌ست که در آن زندگی می‌کنیم، شما در مقام رهبر حزب کارگر، ما را توانمند ساخته‌ و الهام‌‌بخش ما برای آینده بوده‌اید.

در جریان انتخابات اخیر، و در رویارویی با تحریکات و رفتار ظالمانه رسانه‌ها، به شما تبریک می‌گوییم که کرامت و شفافیت خود را حفظ کردید.

شما هرگز به فراموشی سپرده نخواهید شد.

با احترام:

Letter to Jeremy Corbyn from Ken Loach, Brian Eno and others

 

 

To Jeremy Corbyn MP – leader of the Labour Party

As artists and writers, we would like to thank you for raising political awareness in our country to a level not seen since the end of World War II. Your humanity, courage and insight have mobilised a new generation of socialist activists.

Much of our work reflects the world we live in and, as leader of the Labour Party, you have inspired and energised us for the future.

The media has been atrocious in the recent election and, in the face of provocation, we congratulate you for keeping your dignity and clarity.

You will never be forgotten.

Sincerely
