With regards to JS Chance's letter concerning Jeremy Corbyn
being invited to Glastonbury, for the most part I share their concerns. While I do not think it is right that a
"single political ideology" was represented at the festival, I do
support efforts to bring political discussion to the mainstream. I feel my countrymen have a way of talking
about politics like it is something to be embarrassed about. On the contrary it is something to be
embraced and explored. However I fear
that the hysterical hero worship around Corbyn is giving too much credence to
personalities and vague principles. What
we really need to be passionate about discussing is policy ideas, an area in
which fresh thinking is desperately needed.
