Indeed!

Derek was metaphoric and I was ironic, I took advantage of his emphasis....

....but I was not sarcastic

It's a no-win when you come out with some of the things he has and associate with some of the groups and people he has.

If he's telling Muslims he's against free speech and fair criticism when he actually holds more liberal views in order to win their votes he's a duplicious excrement. If he places religious sensitivities above a human right he's at best illiberal.

EDIT: A number of other words came to mind besides illiberal but I'm trying not to be overly emotive.
I note what you say. Yes, something is bothering me too but I cannot figure it out...

I saw this incident: Corbyn comes out his flat, with his bike, shorts, and t-shirt with hoops, looking ridiculous. Reporters are surrounding him and in a phlegmatic way, he says to his staffer "These people ...." and the staffer opens the Journo pack for Corbyn to pass through while putinng his hand on the camera. The lack of expression in Corbyn's face and his tone, worried me....
