"Hair are your aerials . . ."

I'm 10 days away from having Jeremy Corbyn's 1973 hairstyle.

Pray for me.

Waiting for the great leap forward

Via a Facebook thread, one of those anecdotes you wish were true, if only to see Tom Watson and Nick Cohen's heads explode in indignation:

 "The competing Trot sects in 1980s Islington North CLP voted for Jeremy as their compromise candidate because each of them couldn’t accept that a member of a rival 4th International would be the MP".

'It doesn't fly, McFly'

Clever.

But wasn't 1985 the year when Kinnock made "that" Conference speech?

We've been here before . . .

Facial hair - check.

No tie - check.

Looking messianically into the distance - check,

Pointing out the class traitors in the audience - cheka.

Shame on me. Not for the piss-poor Cheka pun but because it's my first mention of Corbyn on the blog, and, then, it's only to post my half-arsed attempt at a political meme.

There is a silver lining, however.  I'm thinking of trying to sell the above pic - with the accompanying bad Cheka joke, naturally. Do you think the Daily Mail and Left Foot Forward might enter into a bidding war for the exclusive rights? I won't sell it for less than $2.
