There are a multitude of reasons to not vote for the Labour Party and especially a Labour Party controlled by the far left fanatic Jeremy Corbyn. Among these reasons include Corbyn’s long term association with and tacit approval of a wide variety of violent extremists from Irish Republicans to Islamic jihadists. He has spoken out in favour of Irish Republican causes and has even laid wreaths at the memorials for Islamic terrorists. He leads a party that he has rebuilt in his own image, which has economic policies that would cripple the United Kingdom and which would make our current problems with excessive immigration and other social problems much much worse.

Now Jeremy Corbyn, this Judas against the British people, has shown his true colours in a most spectacular way. This creature from the most foetid depths of Britain’s Far Left, who has met and been friendly with some of the most revolting terrorists and extremists in the world, has decided that he will boycott the State Visit the US President Donald Trump.

I find it astonishing and sick-making that the leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition (to give him his proper title) is going to boycott the visit of one of Britain’s strongest allies and a country to which we urgently need to trade and cooperate with. If nothing else it certainly shows whose side Corbyn is really on, and let’s be honest here, it’s not Britain or its inhabitants. This man who has sided with some of the worst of the worst, murderous Irish Republicans and genocidal Islamic extremists, yet he treats President Trump, who is none of these things, as beyond the pale.

There have been boycotts of foreign national leaders in the past during State Visits but these have most often been by ordinary British subjects not political leaders. This sort of boycott or demonstration is most notable in the case of former WWII Japanese Emperor Hirohito visited in 1971, when crowds gathered in London for the visit either kept ominously silent, turned their backs on him or whistled ‘Colonel Bogey’ as a way of mocking the Emperor. Most leaders of political parties in the UK, such as the late Charles Kennedy the former Lib Dem party leader did during a visit of the Chinese Premier, choose to use the visits of controversial individual leaders to bring up any concerns that they may have. This is a far more grown up way to behave than how Corbyn has chosen to act with regards President Trump.

If Jeremy Corbyn wanted to quietly and politely raise issues of concern about President Trump’s administration then the State Visit would have been an ideal opportunity for him to do so. This is what a sensible opponent of the President would have done. However, among other things Jeremy Corbyn is not in the least sensible. His behaviour with regards President Trump’s visit is that of a petulant child or a student politician who mindlessly screeches ‘racist, racist’ at every opinion they encounter that they do not like.

Jeremy Corbyn’s refusal to meet with President Trump is not just an unnecessary affront and insult to the President, who is in no way as bad as many of the Left say he is, but also likely to damage relations between Britain and the USA. It will be noticed among US government circles that the leader of the second biggest party in the House of Commons is likely to be unfriendly to both the USA and to Western values, if he and his party were ever elected to power.

The Labour Leader’s pointless and potentially damaging virtue signalling should be seen in the context of the sort of scum that Jeremy Corbyn has chosen to meet and parley with in the past. His behaviour should also be seen for what it is which is a betrayal of those many ordinary Britons, some who would normally vote Conservative and also many others who would vote Labour, who respect the office of President of the United States and may even admire the present incumbent of that office. Jeremy Corbyn’s actions will make it even more difficult to build and maintain economic, political and security relationships with the US government. But, these concerns are seemingly not ones that Jeremy Corbyn shares, his interest is focussed and his sympathies are aimed much more on those who are Britain’s enemies such as Irish Republicans and Islamic extremists, than the leader of a nation that is a long term ally.

For the benefit of my American readers, I like many other Britons will hopefully be in London during the visit and hope to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty the Queen with the President. However unlike the small but noisy clique of Left wingers, I will not be there to protest the President, but instead I will be present to cheer and praise him. Maybe many more should take this course of action and show Jeremy Corbyn that not only is his opinion of President Trump wrong, but that it is a view not shared by all or most Britons.
