1997? You're the history man. Blair was fully backed by the establishment. Continuity Thatcher. Fully compliant with the neolib agenda, with a few scraps for the plebs in the short-term.
Corbyn? The whole establishment throws everything at him bar none to stop him and his project. Even mild social democracy is not to be allowed. Tells you all you need to know.
Love to chat. But am going canvassing in a northern marginal. Stupid me. Shold stay home and howl at the moon.
