Yes, I've had the exact same thing from my father. I've had it for about two years now. I'm not sure, two years ago, what he thought the worst thing that Corbyn could do would be.
I'm sure it wouldn't have involved risking breaking up the whole UK, risking the worst recession in living memory, associating with the far right etc. I think it was probably something to do with the binmen going on strike in the 70's or something.
I'm tired of all this. I imagine that's the reaction that they want.

After that he spent £9.95 on a Swedish craft beer that I’m too poor to buy.

I got talking to a middle age train driver at the pub the other day. We were talking about escalating rent costs and he was saying how awful it is that his teenage son may never be able to buy a home. He was particularly troubled by the fact that “no one in power will ever do anything about this”. I suggested that Corbyn might if he was elected.
Well, the utterance of Corbyn sent this now very unfriendly fella into a flustered mess. Like he was regurgitating all of the right wing headlines from the past three years, he proceeded to yell at me that Corbyn was “the WORST one of the lot! An evil man. A really terrifying man. If he gets in power I’m leaving the country! He’s a terrorist sympathiser! He’s a Marxist you know! He’s a Nazi! And I don’t like Nazis!”
Now, I drank up pretty quickly, but before I left I asked him what he thought of Boris Johnson. “Oh Boris, he’s just a bumbling fool”.
One anecdote I know, but Boris Johnson wins a General Election against Corbyn 100. And I am someone who joined the Labour Party because of Corbyn.
