This Facebook comment about Jeremy Corbyn is going viral

One Facebook comment about Jeremy Corbyn has really struck a chord with people.

Chris Renwick's post, which has been shared more than 7,000 times, explains something Renwick says he’s struggling to understand.

He writes:

All I've ever heard from people, for years, is

"bloody bankers and their bonuses"

"bloody rich and their offshore tax havens "

"bloody politicians with their lying and second homes"

“bloody corporations paying less tax than me”

"bloody Establishment, they're all in it together”

“it'll never change, there's no point in voting”

And quite rightly so, I said all the same things.

But then, he writes, someone different comes along who scares the establishment.

So the media arm of the establishment gets involved. Theresa phones Rupert asking what he can do, and he tells her to keep her mouth shut, don't do the live debate, he'll sort this out. So the media goes into overdrive with…

“she's strong and stable”

“he's a clown”

“he's not a leader”

“look he can't even control his own party”

“he'll ruin the economy”

“how's he gonna pay for it all?!”

“AND he's a terrorist sympathiser, burn him, burn the terrorist sympathiser”

 

Renwik writes that despite waiting forever for an honest politician, we “ bow to the establishment like good little workers”.

He goes on to say:

We run around like hypnotised robots repeating headlines we've read, all nodding and agreeing. Feeling really proud of ourselves because we think we've came up with our very own first political opinion. But we haven't, we haven't came up with anything. This is how you tell. No matter where someone lives in the country, they're repeating the same headlines, word for word.

He says about Corbyn:

Here's a man, a politician that doesn't lie, he can't lie, he could have said whatever would get him votes anytime he wanted but he hasn't. He lives in a normal house like us and uses the bus just like us.

He's fought for justice and peace for nearly 40 years. He has no career ambitions. And his seat is untouchable. That's one of the greatest testimonies. No one comes close to removing him from his constituency, election after election.

What do you think?
