...badges.
I've had one of these on the collar of a jacket (fanboy, moi?) with a picture of said future PM, and have had the following responses recently:
'I want some of those badges, we need him' - from the French fella who runs the International Cheese Shop in Victoria Station.
'Love your badge' from a young student-aged barmaid in the local pub.
'Let's hope he is, eh?' from the old(er) cashier in the Co-op.
'This country needs more people like him, he's a great man' from the butcher in the Asian store round the corner.
And, just now, 'Some extra lamb for him - he's a very good man' from the Lebanese bloke cutting my shawarma (I did point out that Corbyn might not eat it...).
I haven't yet had anybody punch or swear at me, but that might just be down to good ole British reserve. Two questions spring to mind; do you know of any other politician who might elicit similar responses - particularly from such diverse backgrounds - and have you worn any badges/images/t-shirts that get outspoken responses (excluding football allegiances)?
