    Blowback in one chart

    Based on the idea of natural rights, government secures those rights to the individual by strictly negative intervention, making justice costless and easy of access; and beyond that it does not go. The State, on the other hand, both in its genesis and by its primary intention, is purely anti-social. It is not based on the idea of natural rights, but on the idea that the individual has no rights except those that the State may provisionally grant him. It has always made justice costly and difficult of access, and has invariably held itself above justice and common morality whenever it could advantage itself by so doing.
    --Albert J. Nock

    Corbyn links Manchester attack to foreign wars

    By Associated Press
    May 26, 2017

    LONDON — Four days after a suicide bombing plunged Britain into mourning, political campaigning resumed Friday for next month’s general election with the main opposition leader linking deadly terrorism at home to foreign wars like the one in Libya.
    Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn risked being assailed for politicizing the attack on Manchester Arena that killed 22 people by claiming in his first post-atrocity speech that his party would change Britain’s foreign policy if it takes power after the June 8 vote by abandoning the “war on terror.”

    “Many experts, including professionals in our intelligence and security services have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in other countries, such as Libya, and terrorism here at home,” he said as national campaigning resumed after a hiatus to honor the victims in the arena blast.

    Salman Abedi, the bomber who struck the Ariana Grande concert on Monday night, had strong links to Libya. His parents had been born there before moving to Britain and he traveled there on occasion.

    While Corbyn may face criticism for his comments, he is trying to win back the many Labour supporters who turned away from the party in the aftermath of then Prime Minister Tony Blair’s decision to back President George W. Bush in the 2003 Iraq war. More than 1 million protesters marched on Britain’s Parliament to condemn Blair’s move, which proved hugely controversial, in part because the case for war was built around the idea that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
    When none were found, Blair faced widespread criticism and his popularity, which saw him lead the Labour Party to three straight election victories, eroded. There was then also heated criticism in some quarters that the July 7, 2005 public transport bombings in London came as a result of Britain’s involvement in the Iraq war.

    The Labour Party under Corbyn has trailed Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservatives in the polls, but has begun to make gains in the last week.
