Corbyn was one of 2 more than allowed at a funeral meal. He admitted that straight away, and actually took responsibility. Whereas Johnson made the rules he himself broke, and wasted police time by denying wrongdoing for many months. It's the lying, that's why people are angry.

Fascism is an extremist ideology that's founded on the idealisation of what a nation represents culturally, whereas socialist solidarity knows no borders.
Adding 'socialist' in was a Nazi trick to attract disaffected workers 1/
Fascism being on the opposite end of socialism is ahistorical considering Fascism (according to its godfathers) was specifically built to be anti-individual and pro-collectivist.. which virtually every socialist would agree they are and individualists/classical liberalism.
