Well now; interesting. The Daily HateMail presents us with what it describes as a 'Brilliant Imagining,' of 1000 days that destroyed Britain... a dystopian tale of what happens when Jeremy Corbyn becomes prime minister. It's something of a surprise to those of us who expect news from our newspapers. But then the Mail stopped being a newspaper decades ago; some argue it never started. And imaginings, brilliant or otherwise, are all it specialises in.

I am rather more baffled by the schizoid perambulations of the Telegraph. Loud and derisive at first, the paper went to the extent of exhorting its readers to pay Labour Party dues in order to vote Jeremy Corbyn in, supposedly rendering the Labour party unelectable. But it seems this jolly attitude towards electoral fraud has changed somewhat. Today, I read a Telegraph article on why Jeremy Corbyn is absolutely not a joke, must not be voted in, and should be treated as a terribly serious danger instead.

Naturally, the Telegraph's inconsistency, its hysteria and self-contradiction have't gone un-noticed and earlier articles have been cited often.

Finally I have found a good use of the word, 'Conniptions.'
