How can president Trump possibly cole with the absence of this evil Corbyn jerk from lunch? It’s like the end of the world, such a loss! /s

I am sure that Trump didn’t want to sit down and break bread with a raging anti-semite and communist anyway.

And a Fox guy said he won’t attend the Correspondents’ Dinner because he went last year and it was so toxic that it was ‘very awkward to be in the room”...

Never mind what he’d have to do to that rat’s nest he calls a beard.

Without Mr. Corbyn’s hated “pomp and ceremony of state visits”, Britain would be just another mediocre European country like Finland or Belgium, at best. At worst, with Jeremy Corbyn’s Communist, anti-Semitic, Labour party in power it would become a European version of Venezuela.

But Britons who hate pomp and ceremony would be happy, because Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party would abolish the British monarchy. There would be no more British head of state (Queen Elizabeth) to serve alongside Britain’s head of government (Jeremy Corbyn), so Britain would become a dictatorship ruled by Jeremy Corbyn.

So maybe we should appreciate Britain’s state visits, such as the one for Donald Trump, while we can, since the Labour party has a realistic chance of winning Britain’s next election.

“Theresa May should not be rolling out the red carpet for a state visit to honor a president who rips up vital international treaties, backs climate change denial and uses racist and misogynist rhetoric,” Corbyn said in a statement.

So, rather than go and hear what the President of the
United States has to say, he’s sticking to a preconceived
notion.

I don’t buy that it’s realistic. The press pushes for it all the time, though. Bad enough there are too many Red Tories sympathetic to Labour’s nihilistic cause, in addition.

Corbyn said he would welcome a meeting with Trump “to discuss all matters of interest” but said maintaining ties with Washington did not require “the pomp and ceremony of a state visit.” …

So what are we? Chopped liver?
It just shows that England still does not recognize
our form of government.

He’s sticking to a lying narrative. Not unsurprising for an antisemitic lefty.

I bet Trump won’t miss you...Since you aren’t going, maybe you, America’s Official Crackpot, Mad Maxine, Omar and Tlaib can compare IQ tests.

Corbyn ≠ England.

Corbyn doesn’t recognize England’s own form of government, besides.

Corbyn ≠ England.

Labour supporters would seem to disagree.

Labour supporters ≠ England. In the same way Democratic Party supporters ≠ USA.

How much like the democrats here, who would wipe it
all out and start over provided that pesky
2nd Amendment weren’t in the way.

The USA also seems to have plenty of Democratic Party supporters. A significant number of those are illegal aliens and/or deceased; I have wondered myself just what percentage of such in England (never mind Scotland and Wales) “support” Labour.
