Jeremy Corbyn Really Annoys Me! (the truth, and the illusion, of changing how we think about other people…)

You know that feeling, when someone just annoys you….

Ugh, That Man!

I’m going to be honest, Jeremy Corbyn really annoys me. I find myself crawling with irritation when the thought of him crosses my mind.

He sees to value his principles above flexibility, which might seem honourable to some but looks plain selfish to me.

Valuing himself and what (he thinks) is right above what’s actually right for me, you and everyone else. Ugh. Has the man no awareness of his incompetence.

It Isn’t Personal…

Not to malign Corbyn; I’m sure we all have our own version of this person, at least sometimes. Bosses, boyfriends and bureaucrats being particularly susceptible. Oh, and reality TV celebrities of course.

I don’t know the real Jeremy Corbyn. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, and I’m sure he does what he thinks is in the best interests of the country. Well, no I don’t think that, I think he does what is in the best interests of himself first, his position in the party second, and the country coming, well, most likely a poor tenth. Even knowing there is a high road, still I find it hard to think anything other than wishing he would weasel away, back into whatever hole he crawled out of.
