This is an achingly sorry tale about thwarted personal effort, the slow death of an industry, the worrying nature of changes in employment practice and, most of all, about the dangers of monopoly.

Yet the response has been little more edifying; a video for the adoring faithful, in which Corbyn explains how he has been wronged by billionaire tax exiles running the media and warns in a nebulous but faintly ominous-sounding way that “change is coming”.
