On parade, the party poopers of Corbyn’s Left

Just as predictable as the BBC offering a platform to antimonarchists during its royal wedding coverage was that the Labour Party’s republican virtue-signallers were on parade over the weekend.

How handy that Jeremy Corbyn (who has callously spoken of the Queen’s death, saying it should spell the end of the monarchy) had an excuse not to watch the wedding but instead attended an economics conference.

Among exciting topics discussed were how ‘the tide of history has turned against the old neo-liberal way of thinking’.

Meanwhile, Jezza’s hard-Left colleague Chris Williamson, MP, gave an interview to the Not the Royal Wedding podcast. the vegan former social worker boasted that once, as a hunt saboteur, he had challenged Prince Charles.

‘I told him he was a national disgrace as someone who claims to care about the environment but kills animals for fun.’

Warming to his miseryguts view of royal wedding day, Williamson said that if he ever met the Queen, he would tell her to abdicate.

He also explained how he refuses to sing the National Anthem whenever he attends a ceremony at the cenotaph in his Derby constituency on Remembrance sunday.

Asked whom he would like to replace the Queen as Britain’s first elected head of state, he suggested former miners’ leader Arthur scargill. What a charmless lot these anti-monarchists are!
