Chris Dillow: Comfortable?

Chris Dillow asks if Corbyn's supporters are Comfortable?.

In this sense, I fear that, like most political journalists in the Westminster Bubble, Janan is underplaying the fact that many people are not at all comfortable. This discomfort is both important and ameliorable. Yes, Janan is right to say that many Corbynistas are well-off middle-class types. But even so, there are real grievances and hardships out there. And Corbyn, despite his many faults, recognises this.

Emphasis Mine

Revolutions start when those in the middle of the class hierarchy see their interests align with the truly oppressed.
