So your beef is that he shows solidarity to oppressed minority's ?
Seems like part of the job description for a Socialist, you know, someone who doesn't demonise minorities or use their press influence to turn the population against them.
I confess to my only interest in Corbyn is in revisiting Socialism again after a gap of at least 30 years , their could be a place for a leader with a social conscience (after a complete dearth of any) and a willingness to at least consider all points of the argument rather than stick to a dogma written by a shadow.

I dont have a beef with it. I just think he and his supporters should be honest enough to admit that was what it was and defend it on that basis. Rather than pretend he was Terry Waite
But I thought Corbyn was a far left, dangerous throwback who's economic policies would be akin to Communist Russia? At least that's what most of the million/billionaire-owned media outlets keep telling me.

With the majority of the press in over-drive warning of the dire consequences of Corbyn becoming Labour leader, the main effect of his election (should that occur) will be to allow the Tories to do a significant right-shift and still be seen as the only electable party of reason.
