Gary Yonge phrased it very neatly in the Guardian this morning: Corbyn's victory has "energised the alienated and alienated the establishment."

Denmark just had 4 years with a so-called socialdemocratic government that cut back welfare, tightened immigration rules and eased taxes for the wealthy. I prefer my socialists to be, well, socialist!

And yeah, he's a good neighbour. Even though I was a migrant of convenience! (Well, I was, wasn't I? I moved to another country because I'd fallen in love with a bloke and thougt I could easily get a job there. Heck, I even dared use the NHS! Sorry, straying off-topic here, but really... Why the *bleeb* is "migrant" such a bad word? I've been a migrant three times in my life, to France, UK and USA. All three places welcomed me.)
