Well at least Kinnock - although a disastrous politician in electoral terms - did actually do something useful by hauling his party back from the brink into something that could conceivably be elected. Corbyn, on the other hand, seems to be reading that instruction manual in reverse.
No. Foot was an intellectual heavyweight. President of the Oxford Union, a FRSL, co-author of the Guilty Men pamphlet in the war that blamed the Tories for appeasement etc.
Corbyn was privately educated yet got only 2 Es at a-level and was thrown off his course in Trade Union Studies at PNL.
Oxford Union pres vs PNL fail. Slightly different.
Don't wish to be a pain, but I don't agree with that, either.
Foot was a nice chap. Jezza is a semi-literate, Stalinist chimp.
Put it this way. One you'd be happy with as your kid's god-parent. The other you'd let know where near them.
