Give the guy a break and save your ire for the real villains.


I agree, but to be credible, he needs to be a little more honest. He is a refreshing voice, and I admire his vigour and energy. A shame he relies so heavily on cant for his sermons.

He seems to talk quite a bit of sense most of the time, but attracts a lot of anger for being quite intelligent and a good speaker, while looking like a 12 year old. Then again, he's also a mouth for hire, which kinda knocks him into the pot marked 'cock'.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

I'm the same.

He seems like his heart's in the right place, and he's obviously not stupid. And he'll grow into being less dogmatic and doctrinaire about things. I do admire his drive and passion, he cares, which is important.


Christ - HE changed his tune, didn’t he? :)

Meanwhile Jones has descended into complete parody.

Poor Owen wasn't very nice about Mr Corbyn once upon a time but now he's always trying to be very, very nice to Mr Corbyn.


Just another needy and desperate member of the frothing Twitterati. A sad little man.
