i've supported corbyn - he's why i rejoined the party. i thought the manifesto was great and good to see the party proposing sensible, moderate policies that do have plenty of popular support. however, there was so much shite thrown at him that inevitably a load of it stuck to him and , and us. the baseless anti-semitic slurs for example seemed to hit home while the disgraceful windrush situation, the tories' hostile environment and their cosying up to-and selling arms to- any nasty dictator who wanted them was always presented to us as non-issues. in fact, it was disgusting institutional racism over many years - a wee bit more serious than a passing comment about a possibly dodgy picture 25 years ago.

and yet..... corbyn should have known, unfair as it was, a load of the shite had stuck to him and it did weigh him, and us, down. he could have gone 18 months back and been well-respected for a job well-done. is it only me that thinks that proposing to be prime minister at 75 years old while rightly condemning the tory policy of deferring retirement til folk are 75 is ridiculous? he should have left - and i'm angry with him that he didn't step aside.
