Long standing Irish Republican supporter Jeremy Corbyn refused to sing the National Anthem at a service for the RAF. To be honest it would have been more of a story if he HAD sung the anthem! But he didn't.
Now to be honest his behaviour did not affect me much. But many would be offended. Like Muslims were with the Cartoon issue. But it now appears that giving offence is permissible. We no longer need to guard against upsetting our fellow citizens by our actions or words (or even lack of words).If we hold deeply held views we can express them and cause offence with impunity.
Thank you Mr Corbyn for clarifying the situation.........
..............now where's my sketch pad and pencils?
