I do not, on balance, agree with Jeremy Corbyn's decision to decline an invitation to attend the State Banquet for Donald Trump.
But anyone who uses the term "leader of the free world", like anyone who uses the term "Special Relationship", needs to make way for a grownup.
Notice that even the Government's own members and supporters are at pains to insist that they themselves would never have voted for Trump.
Provoking Corbyn and others into this kind of response is the only reason that this State Visit is being held, a disgraceful way to manipulate the Queen into getting out a vote that the Conservative Party openly despises but did used to be able to take for granted.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it.
It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post.
I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.

He is the leader of the Free World by definition since he is the President of the most powerful nation in the West. Unless you think the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America represents “the Free World” (haha!).
ReplyDeleteCorbyn’s politics is that of the teenage student union. Dining with Hamas and the IRA but not with the democratically elected leader of the Free World? Don’t make me laugh, Mr Corbyn.
It is only very mediocre students who use terms such as "leader of the free world". Gownups simply never do. There is a reason why the Conservative Party only went that way under a very unbookish, low-cultured Leader indeed. It was never like that before her.
