JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AS A HOPELESS TERM TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING - ESPECIALLY POLITICS AND JEREMY CORBYN


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY SLAVOJ ZIZEK IN THE INDEPENDENT


The secret to Corbyn's success was rejecting PC culture as much as he rejected rabble-rousing populism

"PC culture" is a vapid term.

It explains nothing, being as empty as the phenomenon it tries naming.

Corbyn simply was honest, something almost none of our politicians are.

He was brave, having faced down an ugly mob of shouters and accusers.

And he is seen as decent, very much not the case for the nasty woman now trying to save her job by an alliance with a party from hell.

Or as is very much not the case with his main attacker from within the Labour Party, mass killer Tony  Blair.
