Corbyn's Snub To The Queen

[dannyk13]

anyone disagree with the Sun's headline?

[Prudie]

Lots of ABers supported Corbyn in this decision on yesterday's thread so I guess they don't agree

Yes I agree. Hardly the actions of a diplomat. More like petulant,rebellious child who would rather disply his virtue signals than think of the disgrace he brings upon his country that he aspires to govern.

[Old_Geezer]

I doubt refusing an invite to dinner has any bearing on one's ability to run a government. The Sun just being far right again, looking for any excuse to be political.

[dannyk13]

OG, so you think that a man who snubs a n invitation from the queen but hobnobs with Hez Bollah, the IRA , Hamas etc is fit to be PM?

[jno]

dannyk, I'm for more irritated by those who try to get themselves honours by (for instance) naming unfinished railway lines after royals.

The snub, clearly, isn't to the queen, it's to Trump.

[retrocop]

OG
Corbyn made his reasons clear. Were he to become P.M. do you think he could snub any world leader he didn't like?. Obviously Corbyn has never studied diplomacy. Even the Queen has to grin and bear people not to her liking at her residences.
If Corbyn wnts to lead HMG then he has a lot of homework to catch up on.
I note that he is quite happy to attend the President of China's state banquet. A representitive of a country with an awful catalogue of Human Rights abuse

[dannyk13]

Agreed that Trump is the reason fro the snub, but the invitation was from the Queen.He is not always so choosy:-
From Mail on line:-
Lest we forget... he WILL sit down with the IRA, Hamas and Hezbollah: Corbyn's long history of meeting killers and terror groups as he snubs the Queen over state dinner with Trump

The Sun being far right????

Perhaps Right-Wing, but what is wrong with that, do we not also have a Left-Wing with all it's communist virtues, which are much better being described as Far-Left?

Oh and another thing, it is the Far-Left who have turned this political.

[Khandro]

To the Tower with him!

[retrocop]

The only person missing from the list that Corbyn is happy to Sup with is the devil himself!!!



Lest we forget... he WILL sit down with IRA, Hamas and Hezbollah


Mr Corbyn has a long history of meeting killers, terrorist groups and other figures who approve of violence.

Hamas

Mr Corbyn called the terror group his ‘friends’ in 2009. He’s also met leaders of the organisation that has carried out a brutal campaign of abductions, torture and unlawful killings against Palestinians it accuses of ‘collaborating’ with Israel.

In 2014 he attended a ‘peace conference’ in Tunisia, where he laid a wreath near the graves of Palestinian terrorists responsible for the massacre of Jewish athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Munich.

The IRA

As a newly elected MP in 1983 he invited IRA apologist Gerry Adams to Parliament. The two men met on other occasions during the 1980s, when the IRA was at the height of its terror campaign. He also invited two convicted IRA volunteers to tea in Westminster in 1984, just two weeks after the Brighton bomb, which killed five people at the Tory Party conference.

In 1996, the year of the Docklands and Manchester bombings, he again invited suspected IRA terrorists to Parliament.

Hezbollah

Officials from the Lebanese group, classified by the US government as a terror organisation and which has called for the destruction of Israel, were invited by Mr Corbyn to a meeting in 2009. He said: ‘It will be my pleasure and honour to host an event in Parliament where our friends from Hezbollah will be speaking.’

Xi Jinping of China

In 2015 he attended a state banquet with President Xi Jinping of China, who has been accused of human rights abuses. Prince Charles is believed to have refused to attend over China’s record.

Bashar al-Assad of Syria

The Labour leader accepted a free trip to meet President Assad of Syria funded by the Palestinian lobbyists who organised an event at which Jews were blamed for the Holocaust.

Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela

In 2006, Mr Corbyn shared a platform with the Venezuelan president. Mr Maduro has been accused of a violent crackdown on opponents which has led to hundreds of deaths and bankrupted the oil-rich country. The hardline president has called Mr Corbyn a ‘friend of Venezuela’.

Think it's Trump he is snubbing rather than the Queen. Who would want to sit down to dine with a racist misogynist.

[dannyk13]

Maggie, Trump is a choir boy compared with whom Corbyn has hobnobbed with.

[retrocop]

//Who would want to sit down to dine with a racist misogynist.//

I am sure the POTUS will not miss Corbyn. Who would want to sup with an anti-semitic traitrous trot who would sell his own country down the river. I am sure there will be far more interesting people to chat with over the banquet.

[mushroom25]

//Who would want to sit down to dine with a racist misogynist. //

is that a bigger crime than murder, Maggie?

[Old_Geezer]

I don't think that whoever else he hobnobs with has any relevance to the OP, so changing the subject isn't helpful. And anywsy, as posts here point out, hobnobbing with some actually generates criticism. In any case he's not government, he's opposition.

[dannyk13]

OG //he's not government, he's opposition.//
Bur aspiring to become PM.

[dannyk13]

OG //I don't think that whoever else he hobnobs with has any relevance//
Serves to show what a hypocrite he is.

[Old_Geezer]

And folk act differently in power than when in opposition.
He's not trying to appeal to you. He knows his audience/supporters.

[dannyk13]

OG, that's no excuse.
