Neither do I Fluffy, he's a genuine guy...he's stuck to the same principals for 30 odd years. People tend to listen to what others say about him rather than what he says. I have met him twice and I can honestly say he's the nicest guy, he listens, doesn't interrupt and you can tell he genuinely concerned about cuts to the NHS, sanctions, deaths, industry if we crash out of the EU, But considering in January all the right wing newspapers will have to pay tax instead of stuffing it off shore like Mogg if we are still in the EU, you can really see why they will attack him constantly. Moggs firm made 103 million in the last five years and paid zero Corporation tax... he's sweating profusely has I type.
Corbyn has never met the IRA, people believe that..... he met Gerry Adams after ((1983) when he was voted MP. Gerry Adams was not in the IRA he was in the political wing which is Sinn Féin, he also met Ian Paisley. The Tories were flying IRA terrorist into London in the 70's, Margaret Thatcher done deals and let them be released from prison and denied ever talking to them in the 80's ..I've never heard a Tory being accused of being a friend of terrorists.
Least expense claimer in the HoC, traveled up until recently on public transport, publishes his tax returns every year, Got into debt in the 80's, funding a Community centre to keep it open...but he's dangerous. 
When Margaret Hodge was chair of Islington Council , it was passed that developers could dig up a Jewish cemetery and remove and bury the caskets elsewhere... who fought that decision and won, Jeremy Corbyn and Margaret Hodge accuses him of being antisemitic 
His mother stood and fought on Cable Street against Mosley, he was brought up in a household that believed everyone was equal.
I could go on...but people can and will believe what they hear. It is what it is, but I bet you people will vote Tory or Swinson and Swinson will guarantee a new Tory/Libdem pact. She's said she was a Tory and only went to Lib Dems because in her area Tories would have never won and she will only deal with the Tories, I am not expecting Labour to win the next election. A) right wing media b) people will be fooled by Swinson c) young people can't vote and it's their future.
