ROBERT HARDMAN: I don't remember huge protests against world leaders who criminalise homosexuality or stop women voting... so why was Trump cast as the pantomime villain?
Perhaps I just wasn't paying attention but I am pretty sure that this lot were not here three months ago. On that occasion, London was hosting not just one 'bigot' but dozens. In fact, all told, the 2018 Commonwealth summit honoured no less than 37 world leaders who choose to criminalise homosexuality in their countries.
I certainly remember them all getting a full state welcome and dinner at Buckingham Palace. The funny thing is, I just can't recall the protests. Nor did I see the placards a month earlier when a leader who bans women from voting in general elections – and only let them drive cars this year – was a guest of honour in the City of London.
Aside from a handful of protestors outside Downing Street, there was no street march against Crown Prince Mohammed of Saudi Arabia. Maybe everyone was washing their hair that day.
