my criticism of Corbyn is that he's reminds me of some "right on" geography supply teacher of the 70s
I don't mind a bit of leftwing politics for a change, but he seems just a bit limited in his capacities. That's why I find it strange when people try to paint him as some che guevara socialist firebrand to be afraid of, or like this article, some rapid jew hater.
He just looks like the sort of bloke who really likes insisting that there's a quorum when you're having a meeting

My problem with Corbyn
is that he hangs out with anti-semites and is knee-jerkingly, cringingly anti-West.
For example, Stop the War's (Chair: Jeremy Corbyn) statement in the immediate aftermath of Bataclan that it was the West's fault https://therealstopthewar.wordpress.com/2015/12/12/stop-the-war-paris-reaps-whirlwind-of-western-support-for-extremist-violence-in-middle-east/.
And his support for Russia - a kleptocracy that murders journalists, opposition politicians and its own civilians -
over the Ukraine annexation.
Having a pop at his and his followers seems pretty small beer in comparison.
[EDIT - fuck that, massive fire in the centre of London. Can see from window. No reports yet.]

oh, so you do swallow all this nonsense
pity.
corbyn statement on skripal was:
"an appalling act of violence. Nerve agents are abominable if used in any war. It is utterly reckless to use them in a civilian environment. I think obviously the government has access to information and intelligence on this matter which others don’t; however, also there’s a history in relation to WMD and intelligence which is problematic to put it mildly."
“So I think the right approach is to seek the evidence; to follow international treaties, particularly in relation to prohibited chemical weapons, because this was a chemical weapons attack, carried out on British soil. There are procedures that need to be followed in relation to that.”
This is what you interpret as his support for Russia, it doesn't sound entirely unreasonable what he's saying if you ask me, but I guess your views get filtered through the right wing press as support for Putin, a man he's repeatedly condemned.
He also supported the Majitsky act, the sanctions against russia after the invasion of the Crimea. But in your world view he supports Russia
