It seems that Jeremy Corbyn is getting support from the more-than-irritating Russell Brand, as well as the only-slightly-less-irritating Charlotte Church. If ever there were reasons to choose a completely opposite course, then RB and CC are two of them.
I suspect that Jeremy Corbyn will, if successfully elected, manage to make the Labour Party even more unelectable. Any support that Church and Brand can garner to this end is therefore welcome enough; I just wish the whole mess did not have to feature in the news, and take up valuable space better used on some other story.
I find it rather distasteful that these two multi-millionaires feel it falls to them to dictate to the poor who voting should proceed. Church has clearly been affected by Brand to some degree, and I suspect she's been practising her spouting of rubbish - for example:
"For the first time in my adult life . . . there is a politician who has a chance of actually doing something to create a shift in the paradigm, from corporate puppetry to conscious social representation."
Okay, luv, thanks for that. Not sure that can fit on a placard though. Elsewhere, trumping both of these two wealthy allegedly-left-wing nuisances is the rather more self-centred, greedy and arrogant Tony Blair.
He seems to think he is qualified to pontificate, with 'advice' on all things Labour, when he is most surely the most despicable capitalist in the world ? How anyone can put up with his sanctimoniousness is unfathomable, and yet for some reason, people seem to want to pay him millions for fuck all.
Back to the Labour Party, and we've just seen a few weeks of pathetic interim-leadership, although I accept the term has no business being employed in respect of Harriet Harman's awful efforts to seem competent - an absolute no go considering her ineptitude to date, alongside numerous scandals.
Harriet should get in her pink van and drive off into the sunset; I know a good route via Beachy Head In the meantime, I thought I had better offer some assistance to any of you who have become slightly confused regarding who's who, seeing as the newcomer in the title race for Labour leader is perhaps less well known than some, and to this end, I have sought to highlight three individuals who should not be muddled up.
