OK, I'll bite and defend Corbyn.
I watched him carefully on the C4 news electoral special a few nights ago. Thought that he and the other candidates were very good, in a pretty fluid and wide ranging debate.
Generally, he seems to be the kind of man who speaks his mind and generally holds onto his ideals. A "signpost" rather than a "weathervane" as Benn once said about grading politicos.
He has generally offered a completely differing, contrarian view to the 30 year old herd that's steered us to where we are today.
And where exactly British foreign policy is, and where its defence is....watching the crises unroll across he MENA and now into Europe...well this is exactly anyone's guess.
Could he be worse?


So for want of taking my old age along with people with differing nay radical ideas, well I'm all for it at times.
Love to debate further but battery dying (PC, not heart).
Keep on working for the Mail and Daily Telegraph (totally a horse**** paper these days) anyway lads!
