Corbyn fails to make the Festival of Remembrance tonight,too busy I suppose supporting Sinn Fein in calling for brave elderly British soldiers to stand trial.

Just watching him at the cenotaph now,  the usual place where all political parties show their respect. Nothing like the right hijacking remembrance to get their rage going though.

Was his coat acceptable? Did he stand straight enough? Did he sing enthusiastically enough?

Two articles two months apart. Same newspaper. Don’t think I have to say much more about the hypocrisy and bad faith arguments we see. Damn that Marxist Corbyn.

Is that one of Boris' far right policies?

His coat  was buttoned up and his shirt tails were within his trousers, unlike the Clown

Should I be shocked you ignored the point.

The scruffy clown layed his wreath the wrong way round. If that was Corbyn it would be over the front page in The Daily Fail and The Sun.

And you've just ignored my point.

I put plenty of change into the collection boxes up and down but have not worn a poppy for 3 years because I feel its imaged his been hijacked by the far right.

I despise the far right as much as I despise the far left,but to not wear a poppy because you perceive it's been hijacked is to put it bluntly pathetic.

He doesn't even know what the far right is.

I find saying that Dianne Abbott brings on racist abuse herself equally as pathetic so excuse me if I dont care what you think.

No need to bring race into this,its about showing respect to the fallen soldiers who fell so you can spout the tripe you do.

Not nearly as much tripe as saying a black mp brings on abuse herself ay.  

You really are as puddled as a lot on here say,take a break from you computer and have a look outside it's a lovely day, go for a walk,get some fresh air and most of all get a life.

Because your point was to divert away from the whole context of my post. Like I said, should I be surprised. But I’ll humour your, no it’s not a far right policy, I never even suggested anything like it. That was something you made up to avoid the point. Now back to you, or will you just continue your usual game?

That's quite a racist thing for you to say really.

No one has ever said she brings abuse on herself because she is black. They are your words.

I wasn't trying to divert anything, it was just a good opportunity to point out to people on this website that Boris is quite far away from far right, it's a fact that is often misunderstood or lied about.

 

As for your point, I didn't feel the need to comment as I don't particularly feel that strongly about Corbyn's press coverage when it comes to rememberance. But to calm you down, here is my view:

I think he's a bit stupid and whoever helps him out with PR is in bad form considering it should be quite easy to avoid negative headlines simply by actually attending, dressing smartly and appearing to sing the national anthem. Especially when critics rightly or wrongly accuse you of hating the country you are campaigning to run.

I don't think any of that is intentional on his part and so I won't judge him as a politician and potential PM based on what coat he wears on 11/11. There's far more concerning things about him that I will worry about.

The point you missed again had nothing to do with remembrance.
