Jeremy Corbyn ‘Can’T Be Trusted’ After Czech Spy Revelations, Says Tory Minister Gavin Williamson
//The furore erupted after The Sun newspaper revealed documents from a Soviet-era archive that described the meetings and revealed the future Labour leader was known to the Czechs under the codename of COB.
At a Nato meeting in Brussels, Mr Williamson said: “Jeremy Corbyn has never had Britain’s interests at heart.
“Time and time again he has sided with those who want to destroy everything that is great about this country, whether it is sympathising with terrorists, backing rogue regimes, or cosying up to those who want to inflict pain and misery on the British people.”
“That he met foreign spies is a betrayal of this country. He cannot be trusted.”
Ex-Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind said: “If these documents are genuine, which they appear to be, there is a serious case for Mr Corbyn to answer.”

Even with my existing reservations about Corbyn, I find this extremely disappointing. I have looked at the available extracts from the documents and as far as I can tell it does appear that they are genuine. If so, it shows a serious lack of judgement and naivety that is simply not possible in a government leader.
I had been (begrudgingly) willing to vote Labour in the next election before I read about this. I shall now probably abstain from voting altogether. Which is deeply depressing, and would not happen in a more functional democracy.
I am not sure Corbyn can recover from this politically (all anyone has to do is start calling him 'Cob' now), and, unlike before, I'm not so sure that I would like him to. I would really, really like for these to be proven fakes as the Zinoviev letter was - but alas I just don't see that as likely.

I genuinely feel sorry for Labour voters.
I have only ever voted Tory, and whilst I should be reveling in the fact that our weak Tory Government has an even weaker opposition, I'm not. I believe a strong opposition, of whatever hue, makes for better government.
As it stands Labour are lurching dangerously to the left and at the helm is a man who over the years has shown poor judgement after poor judgement - quite simply he is not fit to be Prime Minister of this country.
British society works best when the government is right of centre or left of centre - I don't like extremes either way.
I'd be interested in what the rabid Labour supporters on this site (there's at least two - although one of those isn't worth listening to) have to say.

To anyone still under the illusion that Jeremy Corbyn has a shred of integrity should seriously consider not only the latest revelations of befriending the enemies of Britain, but what he did on 26th October 1984.
We all know about his links to the IRA and his chumming up to Gerry Adams & Co. But even the most dyed-in-the-wool Labour supporter cannot overlook the fact that on 26th October 1984, he personally invited and welcome two convicted IRA terrorists to Parliament. Bear in mind, that only TWO WEEKS previously, the IRA had bombed the Grand Hotel in Brighton with the express intention of killing the British Prime Minister, and did succeed in killing 5 people. Regardless of politics, would a man with an atom of decency or credibility then invite Linda Quigley and Gerry MacLochlainn to London, to the heart of government?
Anyone being an apologist or voting for this despicable person is aligning themselves with a man who has spent his entire life courting the enemies of the British public. Terrorists, agitators and now spies.
I know many Labour voters to be decent, fair and hard-working people, many of whom are also true patriots who have fought for our country. To be represented by this hater of Britain and a disgrace to British politics must cause them to reconsider whether to abstain or cast their vote elsewhere at the next election.
