That Corbyn fella...

Good article. Especially this:

"An open letter defending Corbyn on Facebook suggested that the Labour leader must feel “battered, bruised and damn near hopeless and helpless”. Those adjectives could also be applied to Berger, who has seen three men jailed for racist threats against her. “Hitler was right,” read one comment, alongside a picture of the MP with a Star of David on her forehead. “You better watch your back Jewish scum,” read another. The third called her an “evil money-grabber” and Photoshopped her face on to a rat.

If you don’t know about this back story, but do know about the “relentless attacks” on Corbyn so often referred to by his supporters, ask yourself why. The brutal and hysterical campaign against him in the rightwing press has, in the words of one critic, turned him into “the eternal victim”. It has become an excuse to dismiss all criticism of Corbyn as illegitimate."

The argument that goes "the tories are worse, so stop digging at Corbyn" is weak.
