Corbs exercises regularly, is a vegetarian, doesn't smoke and doesn't drink. He's almost certainly in better physical and cognitive health than most of the Tory backbenches, for a start, and there's no reason he won't be for some time yet.

Those concern-troll articles about the Left ominously taking power and consolidating it are just the tip of the iceberg.

As "the Left" becomes reacquainted with power and the need to take control, Centrists and spineless decorum Liberals are going to cry foul and demand that "the Left" act more proper. They'll compare Corbyn or Bernie or any other passionate Leftist politician to Stalin or Castro or Chavez (as the right-wing already does).


A similar case is happening in Philadelphia with the new District Attorney. He's firing prosecutors (which he said he would do and has the power to do), but the media is calling him dangerous and concern-trolling on behalf of those being fired.

It's especially dumb criticism because the previous DA did the same thing when he took over but, because he just wanted to keep locking up black people, there were no scathing editorials.

If he was actually 78 it might actually be a concern but lol, he's 68 and they're just throwing out a random age and acting like the tories are going to be around for a whole decade screaming into the abyss.

This was really hard to watch.

If it wasn't for the NHS I wouldn't be here. I was born with a myriad of complications and chronic illnesses and my parents could barely pay rent and feed us as it was. If we were in an American system... I wouldn't rather think about it.

Death to the Tories.
