Since his rise
to the position of Leader of the Labour Party, Mr. Corbyn has attracted a good
deal of flak over his apparent attitude to certain things that are expected.
They include
bowing of the head and back and kneeling.
There may be an explanation of this that has little to do with politics
or formal occasions. Because I have the
same problem, so do many people I know.
It is called
old age and more specifically the various failings in the joints and bones,
notably arthritis but other things that hurt and remind you when you move, or
try to, as aches or pains or a stiffness that really hurts when you move.
Possibly, it
is not something he wants to talk about or mention, like many of us creaking
our way round.
I have this
vision of Mr. Corbyn kneeling down then failing to rise and having to be heaved
up by the Royals.
One can see
the headlines, "Queen supports Labour".
It's all that time spent sitting around on old benches.
