that's why we're not going to have the conversation. Haven't you got something nice to say about churches?
Actual small-c conservatism could, in principle, be a force for good against the big-C Conservative party, who in their own way are tearing it all up and starting again. Or tearing it all up, at any rate.
Yes Leo that's why I used their language. I didn't think it was that subtle.
Shit changes when you have a family (and a nascent new career in my case). I want less uproar and outrage, not more. Obvs this is sticking my head in the sand with climate change on its way. I don't think I'm likely to get it either.
Re. the anger you're expressing....One reason I think things could v much break in Corbyn's favour is 'cos of optimism, which is v different from rage. Lot of young supporters, a more positive take on things, a Green New Deal, no less. Who could possible believe Boris Johnson giving you an optimistic take? That could work for him as well.
Radical change is happening whether we want it or not.
Economically, ecologically, cosmically.
"Moderate progress within the bounds of the law" isn't cutting it.
I'd be wary of generalising about fatherhood. Since being a Dad I joined my first political party, contested several elections, got involved with some intense community campaigns, read all 3 volumes of Marx's Capital and went full communist.
The optimism Corbyn has is the only practical short term solution to the background levels of rage out there. And even he is just buying people off.
It's notable that the Tories usual tax bribes are missing from their campaign so far. That's how dysfunctional capitalism is. A Tory Brexit obviously won't deliver what a lot of its supporters expect it to.
But to answer your question, no, I don't think Corbyn is the same as Trump.
