I HAD to afford a wry smile when I read in last week’s Warrington Guardian (April 5) Graham Brinksman’s reply to Ken Foster’s letter the week before regarding Jeremy Corbyn.
In particular his patronising response of ‘the immortal line; they walk among us and they vote’...
The immortal line that sprang to my mind was ‘the people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness’.
This and ‘no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector’.
The immortal lines from Plato, written centuries ago.
The latest YouGov survey show Corbyn’s popularity plunging 14 per cent since the anti-Semitism controversy and pro-Russian stance.
It seems the people are catching on before it becomes too late.
