The grimace on the face of the Witchfinder General to the right says it all....
George Galloway comments on Jeremy Corbyn's dress sense here.

We are in the era of the novelty politician.
Galloway comes across as ripe for caricature, if not a sit-com closely related to his character in that interview.
Reminiscing about childhood poverty is cheap trick, in reality kids don't know if they're poor or not. It's been done to death.
Still, he likes vintage clothes.....

And good to see Galloway displaying his empathy with the working classes, noting his intention is to open his vintage clothing shop far away from the toiling classes in upmarket Notting Hill.
I still can't get around how such a red-eyed Cuban cigar smoking leader of the counter-culture doesn't actually drink Diplomatico rum and is tea total.
His missus is no better, some of her academic theories and conclusions are extremely dubious, if not disturbing.
It wasn't quite his donkey jacket moment, but clearly a leader who is uneasy and unfit to be our commander in chief in any future conflict.
He doesn't quite get Wilfred Owen either, the poet who went back into the war to "survive Prussia" and give his poetry more weight as a returning hero, rather than some neurotic shell-shocked invalid.

As you should know Bop, The Sun is not popular from where I am from on account of it's down right ugly lies on Hillsborough. I personally, always preferred The Sunday Sport based in Manchester for my gutter press kicks.
I was actually referring to Corbyn's running off immediately to join a pacifist rally, you cannot hope to be commander in chief and leader of the free world if you cannot take the responsibility for executing war. On this issue alone he is singularly unfit as Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition.
Better than running off to a pro-war rally I suppose.
^Nothing but pity for the poor chap: the later stages of Leftist-Utopia disorder, the bewildering befuddled confusion just before reality hits.
How low can you go?

Yawn, I didn't think anyone took The Sun seriously, except maybe The Guardian from it's lofty war mongering heights.
I don't think any plutocrats post on here.
This is similar to the George Carlin take.
Electorates become irrelevant.
The crowd who think they will save themselves regardless of the economy/political structure will have a rude awakening.

He's come a long way.....in the wrong direction.......since he was the editor at the WSJ.
I find David Craig Roberts the counter culture conspiracy theorists version of Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, you know his portents of doom and imminent collapse are not going to happen.
Like Noam Chomsky his writings initially seem very plausible, but don't stand up to scrutiny.
^ Loss of jobs to other countries. Decline in income levels over the years. Decline in power of electorates and also of nation states.
Stands up to scrutiny so far.
