The flame lit by Corbyn can never be put out

IT seems appropriate somehow that it was on another April 4, 26 years ago, that I lost my precious dad to the ruthless cruelty of prostate cancer. At the age of 23, I was reminded that life is not fair, that bad things happen to good people.
Maybe that’s why I’m not so shocked that on another April 4, we lose Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader. And my feelings about it are not dissimilar to my feelings when I lost my dad too soon.
The anger I felt towards my dad’s cancer for cutting him down in his prime, I feel towards all the forces that were waged against Corbyn’s leadership to make sure he would never become prime minister, except more keenly because cancer doesn’t have a brain.
