I saw a very sympathetic interview with Corbyn some months ago. It drove me mad. He came across, as a nice enough chap, but a ####ing fool. He was smug and self-referential. Basically, he's had it way too easy for decades on the Labour backbenches, pampered and protected from real politics on the ghastly cutting-edge, the place where blood flows. Corbyn, the happy-hippy mascot, tolerated but never respected by the PLP. Nostalgia for their misspent youth. People on the left, as in the dreadful interview, let him off too easily. What were the reasons you failed to kick and punch back fearlessly and relentlessly and why didn't you tell your attackers to go #### themselves with all this antisemitism bullshit! No one asks him about it, or questions his tactics. Why not? Surely one could learn something from it? Corbyn just seemed to blame it all on the nasty right-wing media. The interviewer could have asked Corbyn, if all the media is so right-wing, even the Guardian, can we really argue that we are actually living in a proper democracy? And if we aren't, how does the left deal with that profoundly distrubing conclusion?
