What does Jeremy Corbyn think when laying a wreath at the Cenotaph?

SIR – I have a question for Jeremy Corbyn (“Corbyn’s extraordinary row with Israeli PM over terrorist tribute”, report, August 14).

When he lays the wreath at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday on behalf of the Labour Party for our fallen, does he “think” he is not “involved” in the ceremony? Michael Walford

SIR – Jeremy Corbyn recently stated in a Sky News interview that he did not think he was involved in laying a wreath in memory of terrorists held responsible for the murder of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.

However, Mr Corbyn wrote an article in The Morning Star on October 5 2014 saying: “After wreaths were laid at the graves of those who died on that day and on the graves of others killed by Mossad agents in Paris in 1991, we moved to the poignant statue in the main avenue of the coastal town of Ben Arous, which was festooned with Palestinian and Tunisian flags.” It certainly sounds like he knew very well what he was doing there.

I don’t think he or the Palestinians or the Tunisians with him were there to commemorate the deaths of the Israeli athletes. I used to think that Mr Corbyn was an honest and principled, if somewhat hapless, politician but this episode strikes me as inappropriate behaviour for someone who sees himself as the next PM.

SIR – How much more overwhelming evidence is required to be rid of Jeremy Corbyn? He is vicious and dangerous. The powerful allegation that he is, at best, an apologist for anti-semitism is but part of a larger picture.

His natural allegiances are with many extremists: the Soviets, terrorist groups such as the IRA, Hamas and Hezbollah, haters of Israel and haters of the United States, as well as with anti-semitic groups. In passing he is also anti-monarchy. He sups with various devils with a spoon so short it has become invisible in his hand.

He is not fit to be leader of any respectable political party and those Labour MPS who are too frightened to stand up and condemn him and demand his replacement are his accomplices by default. There are 259 Labour MPS. The silence of most of them on this massive issue is deafening. David Crigman QC

SIR – Is this not a strange anomaly when: a) Conservatives hope that Jeremy Corbyn remains leader of the Labour Party to give the Conservatives a better chance at the next election. b) Labour supporters hope that Theresa May remains leader of the Conservative Party to give Labour a better chance at the next election.

What are the Lib Dems’ hopes – if they have any? M H Sobey
