Erdogan vs Trump - the rank hypocrisy of the British left

I think that I am abroad when President Trump visits the UK. Were I not to be overseas I would regard it as my duty to head to London in my "Hillary for Prison 2016" T-shirt to show my support for the leader of the free world. For every ghastly lefty going, notably Guardian squit Owen Jones and useless Mayor Khan, are promising to launch mass protests against The Donald.

Natch they accuse him of sexism, racism, homophobia and of making the world more dangerous by er... making Korea a nuclear free zone. So they must protest. You would have thought that they could have had a dress rehearsal this week.

For who is in town by another President who has banned all public displays of LGBT activities as he regards homosexuality as evil, sent thousands of journalists to jail, sent his troops to fight alongside folks who use chemical weapons and behead 12 year olds (the FSA in Syria), and has sacked any state employee he thinks disagrees with him. Not even The Donald stands accused of such things, yet where are the protests against Turkey's fascist leader Erdogan, by the British left?

Is this not a double standard or am I missing something?
