Of course Jeremy Corbyn is going to attend the Cenotaph. There has never been any suggestion that he would not.
This non-story is being run in order to pretend that he had been forced to turn up when he did so on Sunday. As a Councillor and then as an MP, he has laid scores of poppy wreathes.
I am all for giving to the Legion, and to Help for Heroes.
But the former is anything more than a social organisation, and the latter exists at all, only because the State wages wars while refusing to take responsibility for the consequences.
It invades Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya with no idea what to do with them. And it leaves the veterans dependent on charity, effectively beggars.
