Caring Corbyn?

On Sunday the 'New IRA' shot a police officer in Belfast. The officer was hit a few times in the arm during the attack. The 'New IRA' have since taken responsibility for the attack and stated that it was a targeted attempt to KILL two police officers.

Now, that's pretty big news wouldn't you think?

Today Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, stood up in the House of Commons during Prime Minister's Questions and offered the House's sympathies for the officer who had lost his life. That's all very nice Mr Corbyn, except that no officer died as a result of the attack.

Is it too much to ask that the leader of the opposition in the House of Commons take the time to learn the actual facts about what is essentially a terrorist attack on our own turf?

In an attempt to use the situation to his advantage and gain support by expressing sympathy he has actually exploited his complete lack of caring. If it was an incident that he felt strongly for, he would be more aware of the facts. A quick look at the BBC or Sky News App would tell him that the officer was in a stable condition.

The truth is Corbyn does not care about that police officer. Not at all. Just like he doesn't care about any police officers. He's not alone in that House.

Nigel Dodds (North Belfast MP) described Corbyn's ridiculously misinformed statement as "one of the worst displays of crass ignorance that could be imagined". Does anybody really want this man to run the country?

Police officers risk their lives, daily, to protect the United Kingdom and I think it is not an exceptional expectation that the leaders in the House of Commons are aware of the finer details when one of us is seriously hurt and others threatened. A terror attack on police officers is about as serious as it gets, yet Corbyn didn't have the facts that 100 word BBC article supplied.

Shame on you Corbyn. Not that you're worried, because you don't really care at all, do you?
