Although I wouldn't go so far as to say that my natural inclination is to lean unquestionably to the right of the political spectrum, I can say with absolutely certainty that I have learnt to be extremely wary of those on the left. However, as the clock ticks down to tomorrow's general election, I have to admit that I can completely understand why people are being drawn towards Jeremy Corbyn. After all, on the surface, he seems to be a very honest and trustworthy man.
Scratch under the surface, however, and questions begin to emerge. For example, although he now claims to have abandoned his long-held beliefs, it's difficult to ignore his close association with members of the IRA and other terrorist organisations, his refusal to support the Trident nuclear deterrent system, and his reluctance to sanction arming some of the police force are characteristics which (IMHO) reveal someone whose honesty (has he really changed his mind?) may be open to question.
Turning, now, to the issue of trustworthiness, Mr. Corbyn's unabashed adultery with Diane Abbott was quite probably a contributory factor towards the end of one of his three marriages; and, the manner in which he is alleged to have bragged to colleagues about the affair was not the behaviour of someone I would like to see leading our country. However, looking across the pond, look at what they've got (chuckle).
