I do.

Yes. I can see that.

Would you realy prefer to trust someone "who appears sincere" than
someone with a forked tongue that because of it constantly lies ther way
out of wet paper bags.

'Appears sincere' in that he hasn't changed his views much if at all
during his long career. But if you prefer the likes of Boris who does so
overnight, that's fine with me.


Corbyn is consistent, and I respect that. But he did appear to change his
opinion on the referendum. Do you know any background to that? Was he
persuaded? Or was it misreported? I think that's why he found himself
unable to jump up and down with enthusiasm for staying in, and has since
been criticised for it. I think there was some inner conflict there, but
I don't really know. It's a genuine question, BTW. I'm no great fan of
partisan politics.

He has always been against the EU.

Less clear why he was publicly for staying in the EU in the referendum
campaign.
