Thank you, Sue. You make some very reasoned and insightful comments. You're right about this onslaught - it is unprecedented in my lifetime at any rate. This is a headline in the Telegraph yesterday - The Tories have a historic opportunity to destroy Labour once and for all This is the language of political extremism. Apparently acceptable on the right, but can you imagine the fuss if Corbyn was to say "We now have a historic opportunity to destroy the Tories once and for all" There's an infective nastiness in political discourse that's seeped right through our society. This is the nastiness that I was criticising on these pages. It's destructive and divisive and that's what's happening to our society. Anyone can do this, it takes exceptional self-control and a degree of courage not to indulge oneself. Such as for instance in Jeremy Corbyn.
