Fine British Snark

The Daily Beast writes some happy snark about the new communication director appointed by Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the U.K. Labour Party.

Wherever there’s an aggrieved terrorist or an undemocratic regime engaged in an existential struggle with the West, you can rely on Seumas Milne, Oxford-educated warrior for the Third World and former comment editor of The Guardian, to offer a full-throated, if slightly incoherent, defense. If your country’s constitution mandates the burning down of orphanages and the conscription of 6-year-olds in to the army, Milne will likely have your back, provided you also express a deep loathing for the United States and capitalism. So yesterday, in a signal to party moderates that he intends to burn Labour to the ground, Jeremy Corbyn appointed Milne his head of communications.

With Scotland gone Scots Nationalist, Labour has no chance to win a national election. So they've let the radicals run the party. Why not? It feels good and they've nothing to lose.
