    You don't seriously think he's going to get elected?

    The tories are making a hames of their campaign, but that still isn't going to convince people to vote for Corbyn, I'm happy to say.

    The polls are over-estimating Labour once again. Labour is simply enjoying a dead cat bounce.

    It's still disgraceful that a guy who approves of anti-British terrorism is going to get millions of votes and become Leader of the Opposition. Comparisons with Michael Foot are simply way off the mark, the man might have been a windbag but he was a patriot.

    You have forgotten that in 21st century culturally Marxist UK, 'patriot' is spelt 'racist' or 'fascist'.

    Oddly enough, I rather welcome the fact Corbyn as leader is revealing that large elements of the left are being revealed for what they really are: namely profoundly treasonous and anti-British. They've always been able to hide their true nature as concern for others before now, but now that facade is being removed.

    But the terrifying reality is that such attitudes have become so mainstream, there appears to be no real widespread revulsion at the exposure of these views. They should be polling 6%, for Christ's sake.

    But we live in a country where millions have been brought up to hate all outward manifestations of their own nation. People like Jorge are allowed to walk the streets, talking treason without being lynched.

    It's truly, deeply depressing.

    You're of that sort too though, aren't you, supporting Ireland at the rugby and refusing to fly the flag or cheer the England football team and whatnot?

    These are piffling, frivolous things, though. It is quite possible to eschew the England football or rugby team while remaining a proud Englishman. Equally, it is possible to have another national sporting allegiance for reasons of ons's ancestry and not be treasonous. Contrary to what Norman Tebbit thinks, sport is a poor indicator of true national allegiance because - well, because it's just sport.

    There's a reason everyone took the pīss out of Norman Tebbit for his ludicrously narrow view of nationhood.
