Ohhh Jeremy Corbyn

Arran Cameron
Seriously. Are there any engineers who are passionate about Jeremy Corbyn?

    IMHO we should always be willing to listen and engage constructively, unless doing so might legitimise disrespect towards our members, or damage our reputation. For example, the IET has taken a leading role in promoting a better gender balance in engineering and diversity more broadly.


    Common sense would suggest that we focus on those who could potentially affect the issues that matter most to us and on which we are well-qualified to offer advice. Jeremy Corbyn is simply The Leader of Her Majesty’s Opposition. The other two names are both politicians, one an MEP.  I hope that my earlier comments about Jeremy Corbyn did not seem disrespectful, they were intended in lighter vein. The characterisation that you offer (perhaps not your own) is just political “knock about”. I can’t see how this is relevant to the IET. One of the MPs who nominated Jeremy Corbyn for the Labour Leadership is a Chartered Engineer and IET Fellow.
