    Sadly, I don't know anyone that "looks up to me";)

    Erm if you're slagging him off for not wearing it properly then as far as I'm concerned that's an admission that you know what you've been doing is wrong

    In view of all this, I am totally nonplussed by his remarks the other day and his refusal to apologise when the report was published a few years ago in an interview where he was given many opportunities to do so. Doesn't make any sense.

    It comes down to his actual failing: he won’t accept he’s capable of being wrong.

    I don’t believe for a second he’s anti Semitic. But I fully accept that under his leadership, certain toxic elements in the party we’re left to run riot because they were his supporters.

    he won’t accept the criticism because he sees himself as above it. Even if he genuinely is above it, and did all that he could (he didn’t), admitting to failing to handle it well is something he’s incapable of.

    The first ‘fault’ of his leadership was to silence his critics. After a lifetime of being a thorn in the side of every other labour leader, he was incapable of allowing others to criticise him.

    Agree with this completely. I like Corbyn, I like his values, he's not anti-semitic, but he handled all this so badly. It could have been sorted out years ago.

    Tetchy aren't we! Lighten up. It was not a serious post. Just an observation that the Corbynistas on here have been relatively quiet since the story broke. Too many in denial that the Labour Party are in total disarray and therein lies the problem. UK needs a credible opposition right now and we simply do not have one.

    P.S: What have I or he done wrong? IMO if, when that photo was taken, there was no-one within 15 feet of the guy then what is the problem. He simply has to pull the mask up if someone approaches. You seem to keep dragging this up from my post from several weeks ago. Pity you cannot focus on what matters instead of trying to deflect from it.
