Corbyn's smile | Neoliberalism lives | Female anti-fracking activists | Sitcoms | Back alleysThe highlight of Jeremy Corbyn's latest speech now appears to be the imperceptible "smile" he allegedly let loose during the brief booing of a journalist. The Sun has even promoted the Telegraph's "smile" to a "smirk". Mail on Sunday columnist Dan Hodges thinks it was a "grin". So that the parameters of appropriate personal expression may be known to one and all, perhaps this headline-worthy "smile", like the insufficient depth of Corbyn's bow at the Cenotaph, could be measured, frame by frame?
