Corbyn not at Festival of Remembrance

Corbyn was in South Yorkshire, visiting people affected by the severe flooding.

Do you really not know what the Festival of Remembrance is?
It has been broadcast for decades, an important watch for many people.

Boris Johnson is 55, a mere 15 years younger than Jeremy Corbyn. Perhaps Grandad shares the same fluency with numbers as a prominent Labour MP? Don't personally hold either in any esteem.

Must admit I hadn’t noticed JC wasn’t there, but did keep seeing Emily T. who irritates me greatly.
Pleased to see Boris singing lustily.
Also noticed Cressida Dick.

What is the 'Festival of Remembrance'? 'Festival' sounds a bit frivolous to me when applied to such a sombre subject.

Since when were party leaders excoriated for not aattending whatever it is?

Please stop your bloody pearl clutching and bitchy comments.

70 is young these days.
After all, we'll be working until we're almost that age.

The queen is old enough to be Corbyn's mum, and she manages.

The Queen is 93 and she was there .

Momentum arranges Corbyn’s diary .

Unless he is ill there is no reason for him not attending .

And I am not ‘ an extreme right wing zealot

So true Grannybags- I think it is unforgiveable.

Quite, grannybags and I think Boris Johnson is rather older than 35!

If he can't manage to attend the Festival of Remembrance because he is too feeble how would he manage with the stresses of being PM?

Corbyn's non-attendance at the Festival of Remembrance (which all other opposition party leader also seemed not to attend) may well have been down to the fact that he is seventy years old I believe and is also leading a large political party in the middle of a General Election campaign. Therefore, energy, stamina and a pact diary may well have played a large consideration in the decision not to attend.

Johnson was there in his role as Prime Minister but he has the organisational support of Downing Street for his diary and is half Corbyn's age.

So, we now have another "let's slag off Corbyn thread" with the usual extream right-wing zealots populating it.

I spotted the patronising Emily Thornberry.

Wonder if he will be at the Cenotaph?

He sent Emily Thornberry and the cameras did keep showing her crying.
Will he be at the Cenotaph in his anorak?

We thought he might have been in a 'blink and you'll miss him' seat but he obviously he wasn't there.

Perhaps he was laying a wreath somewhere else entirely??

He probably won't remember where he was but one thing's for sure, he certainly wasn't where he should have been.

He may be mopping up in Worksop.?
Or just sleeping in?

Where is he then?Down the allotment??
