Yes - tbh I'm not a huge fan, but it's astonshing how good a job has been done on him.
I was talking about Brexit with my parents, who very quickly went down the route of "well, we have to make sure Corbyn doesn't get in".
I'm not sure what they expect him to do? Within the first weeks of coming to power I assume they expect him to do worse than precipitating massive unemployment, the destruction of all diplomatic standings, a run on the currency, widespread protests etc
What I find astonishing about the JC phobia in the country is that we have had the last three years and still people believe that a J Corbyn and McDonnald government will be able to unilaterally enact Marxist atrocities. Surely what we have learnt is that doing controversial things requires broad parliamentary support?
I heard a guy at a table next to mine in a restaurant, earnestly explaining that the first thing JC would do would be to claim all farmland in the country as a national farm and pay nothing to the farmers for it.
