By the magic of YouTube, this is a clip from The Jam's performance that day. It was bloody loud, I remember.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmhZ6tppSwY …
This is a news report from that day. Bloody Michael Foot, eh!? The Jeremy Corbyn of a different era. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/october/24/newsid_2488000/2488439.stm …

Very different men. One, a genuinely principled radical intellectual. The other, Jeremy Corbyn.
-
He may have been genuinely principled, but he was utterly unsuitable as the leader of a modern political party.
-
I agree with that. I opposed him at the time. Still, he was a very different sort of person from Jeremy Corbyn.
-
I saw him on the hustings in 1983. He was an anachronism. Charismatic & charming in his way, but an electoral disaster.
-
I agree with that too. My only point is that he was a far more admirable man than the current Labour leader.
-
Sure, that's probably true (though I don't really know enough about Corbyn to be confident in the judgement).
