foreign policy views he has espoused strike me as ill-conceived tribal leftist groupthink
How would you describe foreign policy since, say, Blair in that case?
Prole.-
Brown's foreign policy was largely about a coordinated response to the financial crisis, and for his many failings I think that was something he actually did rather well.
If the coalition had something coherent enough to be called a foreign policy I must have missed it. Cameron seemed to spend a lot of time grandstanding about Brussels and coming away with very little to show for it. They had a knee jerk intervention in Libya and an equally knee jerk decision to let Syria burn. The rest has been treading water as best I can see.

It chimed a chord with me. Some of the Corbyn's domestic policy stuff pushes the right buttons for me. But the company he keeps and the foreign policy views he has espoused strike me as ill-conceived tribal leftist groupthink that he'll be eviscerated for. But the excitement around him means people are blind to it.
Also, I generally like Gonzo pieces. YMMV.
