And their attacks on him continue, both direct and subliminal.

And tens of millions subsequently lost their homes and livelihoods.

Creating a housing crisis of horrendous proportions.
Yet Jeremy Corbyn is deemed to be the bad guy
As the waiting lists grow longer and the rents go sky high.

Illegally hacking phones and bribing police officers and politician along the way.

While News International’s sanctions have been both tokenistic and quite minimal.

HSBC led the way in global money laundering
Making a mockery of Britain’s claims to uphold legality and democracy.
Yet Jeremy Corbyn is deemed to be the criminal
Though his Keynesian economic solutions are really quite believable.

Forcing families to resort to food banks and the rapacious pay day loan sharks.

The world, East and West, is mired in corruption, xenophobia and petty tribalisms

With their dubiously acquired money squirreled away in secretive off shore tax havens

Suddenly Britain is faced with a choice between a poverty creating austerity
And an economic programme of growth and prosperity.
But Jeremy Corbyn, who is ridiculed as a naive radical
Is proposing a programme that is eminently deliverable
And to block them would surely be absolutely criminal.
