Corbyn: A Man Against Society

Let’s talk about Jeremy Corbyn. Why does it seem that every British young person today worships the ground he walks on? Admittedly, he seems like a decent man, but he’s a politician, and one should never trust a politician, nor a word that comes out of his mouth. Yet, in the unpredictable times of the bigoted and racist movement set forth by Donald Trump, and the ironically ‘strong and stable’ government led by Theresa May, perhaps now is a time in which we need to start trusting politicians like Corbyn, who may offer a solution out of the insanity that we reside in today, whilst Trump and Kim Jong-Ung hover their fat little fingers over the big red buttons. 

Now, admittedly Corbyn is, just like the rest of the people in politics, a liar. But, unlike the rest, he is skilled in his manipulation of the masses. See, when May lies, you can see it all over her face; words like ‘strong and stable’ and ‘thoughts and prayers’ wriggle out of pursed lips, whilst her eyes twitch awkwardly with each new line of bullshit she spews. But, when Corbyn lies, which is more often than people think, it’s a beautiful thing to watch, like watching a professional athlete win a race, no twitching in sight, allowing promises like “the abolishment of all tuition fees” to slide delicately out of his mouth and hover gently above the British youth, in view, but just out of reach: a tantalising promise of all that he could give them, “and all you have to do is vote!” he declares with joyful tears in his eyes. If only the illusion was real.

You see, in reality, Corbyn is a man against society; he has not been honest with young people, preying on their naivety and willingness to follow any politician who wildly and falsely promises them everything they want. He doesn’t care about the cost of tuition fees, or the rights of UK citizens living overseas, or even the young people that will recklessly vote for him. You see, like any politician, all he cares about is power: getting into power, holding on to power, and grasping more power from anywhere that he can. But perhaps he serves as an accurate representation of politics today, a competition where old, white men, and the occasional old, white woman, fight for who can gain the most power and hold onto it for the longest: 

“I got six years, try and beat that Jezza” 

“Oh just you wait Cameron, I’m gonna make it the full eight”

So, yes, although Corbyn is a liar, maybe what we need during these turbulent times is a bloody good liar, to con us into thinking that politicians still deserve the last few remnants of our respect. Frankly, I would rather elect a guy who makes his own jam in his spare time than a woman who claims that “running through fields of wheat” was the naughtiest thing she’s ever done.
