  • I was speaking to someone who's met him a fair few times and knows people who know him well and his summation was basically - "He's too intelligent. He has an incredibly ability to successfully wing it in pretty much any situation - and has essentially done just that."

    Which is an interesting perspective to take... and doesn't bode well for having a fulltime job as PM.

  • The same could be said for Tigger, aka Hancock. He is now on record as saying, if elected, Corbyn would be the first anti-Semitic PM of the UK. Has Hancock never heard of Clement Attlee (who was probably the best prime minister of the 20th century) but was somewhat anti-Semitic. Hancock also conveniently glossed over Churchill. He may not have been anti-Semitic but most definitely racist with regard Asians and Africans. Very selective knowledge of recent history.

    Or indeed any history at all: The Duke of Wellington strongly opposed Jewish emancipation. But some probably wouldn't class him as a 'Prime Minister' as we know it.

  • Tigger

    Looks like he's going to flounce...
