Spookily Accurate

Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader

Michael Deacon writing in The Telegraph has penned a priceless piece about what George Orwell would think of Jeremy Corbyn - and why more people don't embrace his love of old-style, municipal socialism.

The answer apparently is that the working class is alienated by a certain type of socialist - 

This type of socialist, he (Orwell) complained bitterly, was “bearded”, “vegetarian”, “teetotal”, “prim”, “middle-class”, “a crank” and “a pacifist”.

Now that is funny - and spookily accurate into the bargain.
