Anybody see Jeremy Corbyn there tonight?

Didn't see you there either!

Anybody see Jeremy Corbyn there tonight?
You probably won’t do, he’s been in Doncaster visiting flood areas, as important as remembrance day is, there are important issues of today to sort out
-

That's a pathetic criticism Sproty. You'd criticise him if he didn't visit SY to find out what had happened in the floods. You're criticising him because he HAS visited Conisbrough rather than go for the photo op that Johnson chose tonight.
-
He could have done both couldn't he? It's no issue to me but opens him up to criticsm again.
I would have hoped the pm would attend this every year.
-
Has he ever attended one of these services?

why don't you tell us instead of just casting aspertions glostered?

If HS2 had been up and running he might just have made it there on time. 🤭

I asked as I don’t know, does the leader of the opposition get an invite? I do know he’s attended other Remembrance services for terrorist so just wondering if he’s attended one of these services for those that have died in war fighting for this country of ours

All 3 main party leaders were at the cenotaph today. I didn’t watch but this has been reported on the bbc news website.
As for last night, I also didn’t watch so can’t comment. However if this is something which the party leaders get invited to, then they should go or be officially represented by a suitable deputy. That is acceptable in my opinion for the Albert hall went, but not for the cenotaph unless the absence is for ill health..

Ah I see the Tory rags have picked up on Corbyns abscence....he loves to court controversy, some situations are easily avoided, he is a real lightweight when it comes to common sense!

Why should I have? Why should Jeremy Corbyn have? In fact, why should anyone have? It isn't mandatory!

I didn't say you should have, in fact I simply asked a question, (twice), - as meaningless as the original post in this thread, just to prove a point. Sadly, it seems to have been lost amongst the 'dislike' of Jeremy Corbyn!

Although they failed to pick up on Johnson looking scruffy at the cenotaph before laying a wreath upside down. Funny that.
They also fail to mention that after the service Johnson went to a VIP dinner whilst Corbyn went to read a poem at his local remembrance service. Funny that.
Can someone please clarify that all the royal family and all the other leaders of opposition parties were at the AH last night? Personally I hope they weren't because it should be a service for our military personnel, past and present, not a PR opportunity for celebs.

Phil the Greek wasn’t there

If anyone saw the service of remembrance this morning, I didn't I was out doing some volunteer work, in the garden of remembrance in Westminster Abbey was a poppy hand made by the future Mrs Wilts Rover on a visit to the Poppy Factory a couple of weeks ago.
The poppy was dedicated to her great-grandfather, who was gassed, survived the war and lived to be 100 and my great-grandfather who was a miner with connections to Denaby and Tickhill who died at Ypres a week after arriving at the front.

"Corbyn went to read a poem at his local remembrance service."
PR opportunity?

Johnson’s incompetence , whilst looking dressed like he had had a fight with a Flymo , has apparently prompted nothing but profound silence among the right wing press – during a period in which balanced reporting rules are supposed to apply - had it been Corbyn it would have been headline news for a week

Aye. That coat he had bought from Harrods, that the Tory press said was a donkey jacket.
And still now, 36 years later, there's still gullible folk in the internet regularly saying Foot went to the Cenotaph in a donkey jacket.
Lies tend to stick when no-one counters them.

You can't polish a turd, even if you go against your principles and buy stuff from a place for the financially well-off like Harrods.

That'll be the Michael Foot who worked tirelessly through the 1930s to get Britain to oppose Hitler, when the Tory party were all-in on Appeasement.
A turd...
-
That's the one, the scruffy-looking bugger who patronised the poor by thinking he'd be more appealing to them by dressing like them - except he got his stuff from Harrods. The one who 40 years later brought a snowflake to claim that describing his dress sense as polishing a turd despite its expense as a personal insult that shouldn't be bestowed on someone who was against Hitler!
That's why I could never be on the same side as anybody with such views.

Johnson seems to be giving it a good go..

People of Doncaster are pissed off that the leader of the opposition came to our town while it was flooded over going to the Albert Hall but he was still at the Cenotaph. The leader of this country hasn't even shown his face hear and is commended.
I guess people like the last 9 years then. Here's to 5 more years of poverty in our region!
-
As ex Royal Navy who has served in many a trouble spot and know people who died in Service. Threads and reports like this really annoy me.I don't really care how scruffy Boris or Jezza Look I really don't,nor do I care what rememberance services they went to and in what capacity..Yesterday is about honouring those who served and gave their future like Wilts good lady's relative..
Not about cheap political point scoring from any side and those wanting to try and make cheap shots about it.I find it quite pathetic..

Wing Co.
Agreed.

:that: 100 per cent !

This says it all.....have no idea how anyone that lives in Doncaster could ever support a Tory government....

I agree fully with the WC but I do think this post from Tobias Ellwood (former Defence Minister under Theresa May) is worth sharing as a last word:
