Well, today we've seen the real Jeremy Corbyn in action. Forget the friendly and avuncular disposition shown during the election campaign, this morning his behaviour has been rude and obnoxious.
As shown on the BBC, on leaving his home in Islington he scowled at a reporter who was seeking a comment and then slammed his car door in a most aggressive fashion. Later, when members of the House of Commons processed through to the House of Lords for the State Opening of Parliament, Corbyn resolutely ignored Prime Minister Boris Johnson, staring ahead and refusing to engage in any conversation with his opposite number; in fact, his demeanour was one that was about as rude as I've ever seen in many years of watching such occasions.
Anyone who may have been swayed by Corbyn's electioneering must surely have been dismayed by his manner today. This is a man who doesn't take defeat kindly, who is bigoted and unwilling to engage in even the most minor of normal social pleasantries; he is a man who, today, behaved like a spoilt child who's been denied his favourite toys. Should he have become Prime Minister of his desired Marxist government, it is clear that he would have ridden roughshod over all opposition and ignored all opposing views in similar style.
This is not a man who should ever have become leader of a major political party, let alone a serious contender for the highest office in the land.
