On Friday 15 July 2016, then Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn joined author Ben Okri on the Royal Festival Hall stage at Southbank. It was also the day that when a coup d'état was attempted by Turkish Armed Forces against state institutions, including the government and President Erdoğan. I was in attendance, sitting in the top section just me amd a friend. It was a brilliant evening of talk between what seemed like two polymaths. Jeremy with little education behind him had travelled the world, lived in Jamaica for a while and read books constantly.
