Leftist elected leader of U.K.'s Labor Party.

Rick Moran uses more adjectives, "loony" leftist to describe Jeremy Corbyn while explaining carefully the religion of the Pope and where wild bears do potty. Who else would they elect if not avowed socialist? And that's Labour over there, not Labor.

He's prone to say things like this, "fight back" meaning take on forces of inequality.

The party is divided.

SNP leader and Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon congratulated Mr Corbyn and offered to work with him to oppose the renewal of Trident nuclear weapons and against "Tory austerity". 

"The reality today is that at a time when the country needs strong opposition to the Tories, Jeremy Corbyn leads a deeply, and very bitterly, divided party. 

She adds if Labor cannot demonstrate a good chance of winning the next general election and strong opposition to Tory austerity then another move is likely to be busted for Scottish independence.

Corbyn has been a back bencher for thirty years and suddenly sprang to leadership. His changes of success were calculated 200 to 1 so his winning is a surprise to everybody including Corbyn himself. He was largely unknown and now he is not.

So there's that.

This connects with two other things that came up simultaneously.

Among standard socialist sayings about inequality, inevitability, unfairness, and change, all noted by Drudge, Jeremy Corbyn said something interesting, that his campaign had given the lie to claims that young Britons were apathetic about politics, showing instead that they were "a very political generation that were turned off by the way in which politics was being conducted -- we have to, and must, change that."

That observation about young people connects with the first unrelated thing, "Liberty Beats" YouTube videos put up by FreedomWorks Youth Activism. American millennials get the same rap. The generation described as having their noses in their phones could very well be reading about politics or organizing a demonstration or even a revolution ... under their noses. It is a very good video. Recommended. It too puts the lie to youth being apathetic. In the video Sam Martin, the millennial, says emphatically, "I want my principles to shape the vision of the country I live in." He also says his generation is concerned about privacy among many other things and that is hard to square with the rise of selfies and instantly notifying location and activities and friends and interests but Sam is a more serious sort.

The second thing it connected with immediately is related, a tweet by a British person, a guy named Hamish, who fancies himself clever, is interested in politics there and here who tweeted Trump directly with a photograph of Jeremy Corbyn the politician nobody heard of from the back benches of Parliament for thirty hears and with 200-1 chance of success, with the message, "Hey Trump, even my dad decided to vote for you." Ridiculous as his real dad would be British and disqualified from voting, but Hamish is British so also regards himself honorary American with opinion on American politics that's actually valid. What kills me is how readily and eagerly all this is taken up by the anti-Trump American Right as signifying proof that Trump is unfamiliar with "world leaders." Really? Nobody heard of the guy until this moment, he is not famous, not a world leader, but if it helps you along with your Trump obsession then fine. This way by banging on every hour of each day you can take credit when support for Trump crumbles naturally. Because if support fails to crumble naturally then you'll never forgive yourself for not trying hard enough to save the republic from Democrats.

Trump said, "Great" to the millionth supporter now Hamish on another continent is flipping out claiming grand master trolling and typing caps about OMG I'M CLICKBAIT because the great and mighty Trump is so foolish he didn't recognize Corbyn the British backbencher as world leader.

Would YOU, Jindal, have recognized Corbyn one minute ago? Jindal includes the photo of Putin on horseback, equating the unknown Corbyn, until this very moment, as if Jindal would recognize Corbyn which is doubtful, with ultra super well-known Putin to take a jab at ultra super well-known Trump in another strained effort to become more partially known.
