Good - at least we have a glimmer of entertainment seeping into the grey political smog we seem destined to endure forever. Come on Organise Corbyn Inspired Socialist Alliance - make a show of it.

Is it a joke? Who would call a group "Organise Corbyn Inspired Socialist Alliance"?
Now all we need is an Organise Boris Inspired Conservative Alliance... Either Organisation would be unlikely to have a significant effect on the outcome of the next General Election, but the comedy value might liven up the staid electoral process.
I’m struggling with the syntax of their name; do they mean that they are an inspired socialist alliance and intend to organise Corbyn (he could probably do with it) or that they are inspired by Corbyn, in which case what is the ‘organise’ bit about?
You’d think that, starting from scratch, they could have come up with a snappier acronym; I wondered whether ocisa means something in Spanish, but the nearest I can get is ociosa, the feminine adjective meaning idle, which is a bit rough on poor Ms Alvarez. As an alternative, how about the Corbyn Inspired Revolutionary Collective of United Socialists? A bit of a mouthful, but captures the spirit of modern politics, I think.
Sam - it sounds like a joke to me, but I'm willing to believe otherwise.
DJ - good idea, we could have Organise Nicola Inspired Motorhome Alliance too. Lots of possibilities.
Macheath - it's such a poor acronym that it comes across as a joke, yet surely a joke name ought to have an amusing acronym such as your fine suggestion - Corbyn Inspired Revolutionary Collective of United Socialists. It's rather odd.
How about The Corbean People's Popular Front, or maybe the People's Popular Front Of Corbea?
SPLITTER...
Scrobs - you have to get it right, The Corbean People's Popular Front and The People's Popular Front Of Corbea are probably bitter enemies.
