The Establishment is rattled. Its gutter paper, the Sun, is running a headline that Corbyn did not bow when he laid his wreath at the Cenotaph when he plainly did. The General goes on a chat show and breaches Constitutional convention to attack the views of an elected politician on a hot political issue of contention. At every level and in every format their spinners work overtime to portray Corbyn as unpatriotic, disrespectful and dangerous. Why?
Because they have their tentacles everywhere and these sensitive feelers reveal that Corbyn is tuned in to the mood of the ordinary people and an increasing number of the well educated young. They see that Labour now has five times as many members as the Tory party. They see Corbyn as a real and present danger to the grossly unfair economic settlement from which they prosper. They have cottoned on to the fact that Corbyn is the greatest threat since Tony Blair to everything they stand for and profit from. Unlike Tony who gleefully became one of them, Corbyn is not for turning.
