There was a small chance at the last election in my opinion under Corbyn, but that was never going to happen as we live in an image obsessed society that still has roots in colonial thinking, certainly with the ruling classes and sections of media, and now with the poorest and most disadvantaged due to lies over immigration and political neglect in the poorest areas.
