There’s more to it than “stupid people” and the media. Explain why people didn’t hate Tony Blair and Neil Kinnock? Or is it possible that Corbyn is a relatively poor leader of the Labour Party?

Wasn’t hated though, it was more a Labour Party image issue. They were perceived as the party of tax and spend when people had a more right wing view of the subject.

Transplant him to today's media and he'd be absolutely vilified.

He was! The Kremlin connection reports in 1992, the idea of him being arrogant and overconfident.

But he wasn’t hugely unpopular? It all goes back to the left wing misunderstanding of public image. Micheal foots labour focused on giving people and economics lesson on investment rather than a clear cut message. PERCEPTION OVER REALITY!!!
