Hmm. You're more confused than I thought. First of all, do see if you can understand the difference between criticizing Corbyn's response as inadequate, or lacking in courage, and saying "it's all Corbyn's fault." Then try to remember what you wrote that I responded to, namely your comment: "May of course leads the inquisition - who is criticising her?" I responded to that and explained why I think it's a ludicrous question to ask here. Thirdly, see if you can see how absurd and desperate it appears in defending someone's actions or omissions to appeal to the fact that they're less egregious than those of a few truly despicable people. Finally, Corbyn is often criticized here, not just as the leader of the opposition, but as someone people have supported or do support, and/or who represents a grassroots movement that they feel a part of. Part of being represented by someone politically involves holding his/her feet to the fire when s/he has compromised too much with the establishment for whatever reasons and departed from the principles of that movement. These are not black and white judgements and there is room for disagreement but the critique you offer here is silly. More generally, your defense of Corbyn sometimes has the appearance of partisan reflexiveness, which then tries - and in this case, fails - to find a rational argument to cloak itself in.
