It is a thinly veiled personal attack and I'm not having it.
The next person to berate and provoke or refer to another member, in the 3rd person, such as referring to them as, 'usual suspect', may face having their posting privileges revoked until further notice.
Nobody, is a 'usual suspect' on this forum. In a civil debate. What other people say, you refer to them by name.
In all honesty. The current tone in Current Affairs is toxic. Too much of a them vs. us situation. This has to end.

It would be nice if people on both sides could accept other peoples views without insults that is for sure.

'Corbyn is nasty' isn't good enough any longer. They need to say something positive about how they are going to rescue the health service and make housing and higher education affordable and increase peoples standard of living, which is being eroded by inflation and stagnant wages. I suspect they can't because they don't intend to do any of these things, just pander to their narrow privileged base and try and scare everyone else. It isn't going to work forever, people are wising up, even if they don't care for Corbyn.

Its pretty clear that that nasty narrative failed at the last election and yet the Conservatives and their media friends still seem hell bent on continuing with the same negative nasty narratives.
People don't want false insincere promises anymore as they want things that are going to improve their own living standards and improve the NHS and the main public services.

l don't care much for Corbyn but l care even less for Theresa May and she has done diddly squat since she became PM to change that sentiment.
