Congratulations to Jeremy Corbyn! I'm suspicious of all politicians, and I don't disinclude Corbyn from that. I don't expect he's the best thing since sliced bread, and if he actually gets into power I'm sure he'll get into all sorts of tangles and may end up going the way of Alexis Tsipras.
But it's really nice to see somebody who looks a bit scruffy, with an open-necked shirt and a beard, like an old geography teacher, with the implication that he's more interested in his ideas and beliefs than his image, and hasn't yet been restyled by the image-doctors in an attempt to make him more acceptable to Daily Mail readers. And it's nice to think/hope that there's now going to be a genuine alternative on offer, some proper socialism, a genuine attempt to build a fairer society, instead of just another version of monetarism with a slightly different spin on it. - Edward --
