This isn’t BBC related, and I’d quite like to move on from blog posts about Jeremy Corbyn - I’m sure we all would, but I wonder what or reader(s) make of these two performances at the Oxford Union, circa December 2013.
Compare and contrast Jeremy Corbyn for “Socialism DOES work” and Daniel Hannan for “Socialism DOESN’T work”.
I haven’t watched the other speakers and I don’t know how the audience responded, but I must say I thought Corbyn seemed dishevelled, retro, and a tad geriatric, while Hannan sparkles with sharpness and acuity.
I’m not necessarily talking about the politics, it’s the charisma and the delivery that grabbed me.
