At the Conservative Party conference this week, our right-wing UK Prime Minister, the pig-bothering David Cameron, accused his Labour rival Jeremy Corbyn of "hating" Britain and "sympathising" with terrorists.
The main basis of his argument was that Jeremy Corbyn had said, a number of years ago, that it was a "tragedy" for justice and international law that Osama Bin Laden had not been brought to stand trial (instead being hunted down, killed, and dumped in the sea). Corbyn's point was that it would have been much better to capture Bin Laden alive, and put him on trial, so that justice could be seen to be done.
Margaret Thatcher, one of Cameron's heroes, once said that she liked it when her opponents resorted to personal attacks, because:
"If they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left."
Ignoring Mrs. Thatcher's advice, and latching on to Corbyn's use of the word "tragedy", Mr. Cameron, in a surprisingly vicious personal attack, said, and I quote directly:
"A tragedy is people jumping from the towers after the planes hit. My friends – we cannot let that man [Corbyn] inflict his security-threatening, terrorist-sympathising, Britain-hating ideology on the country we love."
How ironic then, that Mr Cameron's fellow Conservative, Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London and one of the party's biggest names, also argued (quite eloquently) exactly the same case as Mr. Corbyn. Indeed, Johnson said, and again I quote directly:
"The whole point of the exercise, the whole point of the war against terror, is that we believe in due process and the upholding of civilisation against barbarism."

Who would have thought that Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London, hated Britain so much? How can Mr. Cameron stand to have such a terrorist-sympathising Britain-hating individual occupy a prominent role in his own party?
