Talbot, yesterday I read the article you refer to as Tim Collins'. It appears to have been written (and posted) by A N Other - namely Paul Corrick. No big deal.
I suppose anyone who is a pacifist might want to vote for Corbyn despite worrying signs purporting the contrary.
I believe one of the worrying problems about politicians is that anyone (and I do mean anyone) can put them-self up for selection.
I think back to Mrs Thatcher and her supporting MPs - 4 of whom were holders of the MC (Whitelaw, Pym, Carrington and Neave). Now that tells me something about those particular men that made me believe I could place trust in them.
So as far as Corbyn goes - I wish he would.
