Intend To Join Them

Peter Oborne writes:

If you thought the state visit by China’s President Xi Jinping was deeply unedifying, much worse is to come.

In two weeks’ time, the red carpet will be rolled out for President Sisi of Egypt.

Field Marshal Sisi came to power after masterminding a bloody coup against a democratically elected government.

More than 1,000 people were shot dead in Rabaa Square in Cairo as they protested against the military takeover.

Following the slaughter of pro-democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square, it took Britain more than 15 years to invite a Chinese president for a state visit.

Just two years have passed since the Rabaa Square massacre.

Undoubtedly, there will be street protests against this butchering field marshal.

I intend to join them.
