Jeremy Corbyn is the new leader of the labour party. Its official. The hustings are over, the speechifying done, the voting voted and nearly 60% of those eligible to do so put the Corbyn-meister at the head of their parliamentary party.

Well done Jeremy.

You ridiculous, anachronistic, throw-back, blinkered, single-minded tosser.

Though I have a great deal of respect for the man. Well, not in excess, obviously, but there is one unquestionable truth about Jezza: he is a man of principle. Sadly, its only one principle. But he sticks to it like a waterproof band-aid. As he has done since he invented this principle in about 1969.

He won’t move from his far-left, socialist, green, anti-nuclear, working-man, nationalised industry stance that he adopted back then and has steadfastly held, unchanging with time, with zeitgeist, with the changing world, since then. No, that’s his principle, that’s where he is now, much as he was then.

That’s his appeal. He does not court popularity. He does not tell people what they want to hear. He does not moderate his position to accommodate party lines. He IS his principle.

And that’s why he is so unbelievably popular (literally unbelievable); because he is that rarest of things in politics; an honest man.

Unfortunately, he is true and honest to a principle that no-one in the country (other than the deranged) would ever choose to vote for.

He wants Britain to be unilaterally disarmed. Fine, in 1972 when nuclear was all about the cold war. Not so clever in 2015 when the middle east is both nuclear and more unstable than it has ever been.

He wants to control rents. How can you do that? With no government or council housing to accommodate the current, once he opens the floodgates to hundreds of thousands of refugees, where they gonna live? Ok, in private rentals. So he needs landlords. Yet will tell them they have to rent their living space below the rate that makes their investment viable.

And best of all, this wonderful, principled man is a rabid fucking anti-semite who counts Hamas among his ‘friends’, defends the bombing of Israel by Gaza, courts holocaust deniers and other rabid scum and has a history of jew-hating almost longer than that of his socialism.

At least he doesn’t wear ties.

Well done Jeremy. Now you just have to find a cabinet from MPs who are unilaterally opposed to your views. Shouldn’t be hard.

Happy Corbyn-Day
