Due to being messed around by the grammar school he was at, something which has sadly happened to many people in that generation and after.

Judging by the previous comments, Corbyn is also thicker than most of my older siblings as well. He's brighter than me but then I was held back whilst benefitting from a comprehensive school educashun.
Ah well, ho hum.

My reply to paddy was to attempt a quick explanation as to his grades based on a) what I've read about Corbyn's past and b) from personal experience based on my family regarding grammar schools.

Funny how the two people who have said he is voted Tory. Coincidence? Meanwhile I'm still waiting for creditable reasons why he is thick.

Strange how this story re Corbyn isn't getting as much coverage:

I have actually seen a lot of coverage for this. And quite rightly so. It is an action for which Jeremy Corbyn should be commended and applauded. Of course there is no coverage in the Sun, but they couldn't have a clearer anti-Corbyn agenda if they tried. Even from the other side of the political fence, I find the Murdoch press attacks on Corbyn deeply deeply unpleasant.

If you don't like his policy on trident, fine, attack the policy. Question it, pick it apart, write editorials that try and denounce it. That is fair game. This "level of bowing" and other personal smears say a fucking hell of a lot more about the Sun than it does about Jeremy Corbyn.

I had a grammar school education. And I can see your point to a degree. My school was very highly rated and I went there after 12 plus selection. Great up until 16. As soon as I wasn't looking like Oxbridge material I don't feel the level of educational support was retained. The school looked after the big guns likely to be heading to Oxbridge in my opinion at the expense of other pupils. I still got pretty good grades, but I think I could have done better and so could the school. I know they could have done with my history A Level. The entire year failed (including at least 3 Oxbridge candidates) and the head of history was removed from post very quickly
 
Some of the attacks on him are ridiculous, such as the bowing/nodding at the cenotaph, I watched it and he bowed his head in respect. That was good enough. Is anyone that surprised at the attacks from the Tory media though? You only after look at the hatchet job they did on Farage at the last election to see where they are at.
 
I wouldn't mind the press holding Jeremy Corbyn to impossibly high standards so much if they held David Cameron to any standard at all.
 
Mr Corbyn is to be sworn in as a member of the privy council. As leader of the opposition it is only correct that he does do.
 
He was always going to join. Anyone would think someone made something out of nothing on the matter...
 
This is stolen from twitter, but I really, really hope Corbyn's next PMQ's start with 'David from Witney wants to know why his local council is cutting all of his services?'

.....and the bar steward did it a month quicker than Mr Cameron.

Still no response to the replies from when you last stopped by with this comment?

Mr Corbyn unable to attend the privy council due to other commitments. I am sure that is true, but as a self declared republican, maybe Mr Corbyn is not over keen on having to meet the Queen. Though as leader of her majesty's opposition, he does have responsibilities of state, and I hope his advisers get him to realise that. He can no longer act like a back bench rebel.

It took Cameron three months to bother.

Going to assume that you haven't visited this thread since, but how is it fine for Cameron to take three months to join the privy council but a case of Corbyn "acting like a back bench rebel" when he misses the first one due to prior commitments?

My apologies, I did not realise a response was necessary. Though I think it is fairly obvious what the difference is. I will say no more on the subject.
 
What is the difference then?

Cameron became leader of the opposition, and joined the privy council after three months
Corbyn became leader of the opposition, and joined the privy council after two months

Why won't you say any more on the subject? Is it because you are barking up a wrong tree?
