I'm not sorry to see him go, but there are things we need to take into account with people like him.
He was, honestly, not an intelligent man. Or at least any intelligence he had was masked.
He was probably some way along the autistic spectrum.
He may or may not have been a doctor - my thoughts are that he was involved in the treatment side of the NHS, more likely as a technician.
He was not a member of the Labour Party, simply a fanatic for Corbyn*. All else in politics seemed to have passed him by. He was certainly not active.
He was carrying a great deal of baggage.
At one time he was a reasonably sensible poster, then the Kool-Aid took effect. I suspect that this enthusiasm (similar to what I have seen in other boys with Asperger's) pushed him off course.
*Many people with Asperger syndrome have intense and highly-focused interests, often from a fairly young age. These can change over time or be lifelong, and can be anything from art or music, to trains or computers. An interest may sometimes be unusual. One person loved collecting rubbish, for example. With encouragement, the person developed an interest in recycling and the environment.
I wonder if we could have done the same with Wino.
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it.
