Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen is a Norwegian economist and political activist who is the leader of the party Alliance – Alternative for Norway. He is known for his neo-Nazi rhetoric, with regular racist and antisemitic statements, as well as having a really long, hard to pronounce name.
Why am I telling you about him? Oh, no reason.
Corbyn claims he had no idea who HJLJ is:
and I actually believe him; I suspect had he known who he was, the photo might have looked something like this:
Not because HJLJ is an antisemite, but because he is a right-wing one. Had he been an Islamic or left-wing antisemite, Corbyn would have looked a lot happier.
However, what is really telling about the selfie is that a Neo Nazi is fanboying Jeremy Corbyn. Says it all really.
