Jeremy Corbyn is not the sort of guy you want as leader of the opposition when one of your closest allies has been hit by a major terrorist attack. Labour leader Corbyn has been sending mixed messages which make a mockery of himself and his party. Prime Minister David Cameron has given special forces a shoot-to-kill policy when dealing with suicide bombers. Corbyn said that he would never support such a policy but hours later he pulled off a highly embarrassing U-turn and said that he would support the prime minister. There are calls for Britain to join the international fight against Islamic State in Syria but Corbyn has once again said that he would not support such a move, and it appears that Labour MPs will not be given a free vote. His performance since the French terror attacks has prompted Norman Tebbit, the former Conservative minister, to question which side Corbyn is on.  And he is not wrong. In times of crisis you expect your leaders to grow in stature and show their leadership credentials, as the high office they have been elected to demands. But not so in the case of Corbyn. The Labour leader has brought little or nothing to the table and at this time when there we are facing a heightened terror alert his anti-establishment views are surplus to requirements, if not dangerous. The Labour Party has many able politicians and it is such a pity that they find themselves with a leader who is completely out of his depth.
