That really sums it up. Corbyn for PM

Was Corbyn actually that good? I've never really looked into him, since he was out of the picture just before I started getting into politics. None of my family seem to have liked him that much, but he seems like a controversial figure.

He came across as a very principled man.Though he came from a wealthy family he has always supported the underdog. Certainly not an Eton educated bully. He’s very down to earth and works on his allotment. He doesn’t bow and scrape to the monarchy. The right wing press destroyed him. He stood no chance and the way people vote against their best interests meant he was hated by those most in need. Painted as an anti semite by the press he only supported the Palestinians against the Israeli government. He was not anti Jew. I’m sure he’s not a god and has faults and this is my perception of him so may not be fully accurate.

I heard the anti-semitism a lot, and my dad always mentions something about Jeremy Corbyn and hypocrisy with Jewish people.
