I could have imagined a time when, had I been interested in politics, I might have been tempted to support The Labour Party. After all, the basic principles of socialism which comrade Marx laid down are quite admirable. However, as I have often thought to myself over the years, the fundamental problem with socialism is socialists; and the reason for this is that the moment they gain power or authority, they suddenly become capitalists; and in so doing, abandon their working-class principles  - and, more importantly - their working-class supporters.

As a consequence, speaking for myself, it is easy to hold them in contempt.

The Islington brigade, for example, conned the party membeship into believing they would honour their election pledges; only to let them down again and again. Is it any wonder, therefore, that the grass-root members of The Labour Party hope that, in Mr. Corbyn, they have found a knight in shining armour who will not betray their socialist principles (nothwithstanding the fact that it makes them virtually un-electable).
