Corbyn's actions were grandiose and ultimately useless, potentially making a situation worse..
That's not what Nelson Mandela said when he visited Britain.
Cameron's were diplomatic and more importantly, he was doing his actual job that he was actually employed for.
Ah! I see, Corbyn actions were grandiose (you really are "central casting" reactionary, was he part of a "rent a mob"?) Where as Cameron was just "doing his job". Since when was "he was doing his job" a defence for anything?
So......
David Cameron was being more of a competent diplomat
So let's look in to this trip, first off the bat, it wasn't a diplomatic trip, only foreign office organised trips have that status, he was not a member of the Diplomatic Corp nor was he a Member of Parliament .... The trip was in fact organised and funded by Strategy Network International (SNI), created in 1985 specifically to lobby against the imposition of sanctions on South Africa.
Alistair Cooke – in 1989 Cameron's boss at Tory Central Office – said it was "simply a jolly", adding: "It was all terribly relaxed, just a little treat, a perk of the job. The Botha regime was attempting to make itself look less horrible.
So Cameron's relaxing little Jolly, his little treat, his perk of the job, funded by a group set up to lobby against the imposition of sanctions on South Africa was "diplomatic" and he was "doing his actual job that he was actually employed for", where as "Corbyn was arrested for offending diplomats from another country and were the actions in no way of a rational man"!
I'm staggered! These were diplomats of Aparthied South Africa! A regime not recognised by any Black African State, a rogue state that practiced brutal racial segragationist policies for decades, yet Corbyn getting arrested outside the round the clock vigil outside the South African Embassy was irrational but Cameron's sanction busting funded jolly when he worked for Tory Central Office was "diplomatic" Of course his guiding light then (as now) was Margaret Thatcher, who described the African National Congress as "a typical terrorist organisation" and fiercely opposed sanctions against the apartheid regime, but of course her South Africa policy was in part personal: her husband, Denis, had extensive business interests in the country.
What a brave boy David was, flying in the face of his boss, diplomatically doing his job...blah, blah....When of course, he was doing none of those things
You really do need to give your head a wobble.
I have the lovely position of being neither a Labour nor Conservative voter so am tied to neither ideology like literally 99% of the political posters on here and some of the shit is ridiculous
I'm not sure lovely describes your position, show me someone who boasts of being free of "ideology" and can't tell the difference between shit and shinola and I'll show you a pro establishment, no nonsense, common sense, dim, deferential Tory.
