Lettera a Jeremy Corbyn di Ken Loach, Brian Eno e molti altri

A Jeremy Corbyn, deputato, leader del Partito Laburista:

Come artisti e scrittori, vorremmo ringraziarti per aver accresciuto la consapevolezza politica nel nostro paese a un livello mai visto dalla fine della seconda guerra mondiale. La tua umanità, il tuo coraggio e la tua ispirazione hanno mobilitato una nuova generazione di attivisti socialisti.
Gran parte del nostro lavoro riflette il mondo in cui viviamo e, come leader del Partito laburista, ci hai ispirato e ci hai dato energia per il futuro.
I media sono stati atroci nelle recenti elezioni e, di fronte alla provocazione, ci congratuliamo con te per aver mantenuto la tua dignità e chiarezza.
Non sarai mai dimenticato.

Cordiali saluti
