Where's Tatchell's condemnation of the 'rebels' prolonged bombardment of West Aleppo, or do our terrorist friends get a free pass?
"good guys" killing civilians = OK "bad guys" killing civilians = not OK
armed conflict for beginners.

Mystic Meg wants to know, too. She's been faking it all these years, but these guys are pros.
Well someone must be teaching them as I get my mind read an increasing number of times each day, I am just relieved they aren't demanding a fee for their services every time I am told what I'm thinking,

Have you ever heard the word, "Interpretation"? It is quite a common word, you have probably used its nuances quite regularly but not realised you are doing it.

Right, thanks for explaining how am thinking for me,
Welcome!

I think that quite soon I shall just pop onto DS to find out how I feel or what I think about various issues, as it seems that lots and lots of Tory supporters seem to know what I think and how I feel, so much better than I do. (but you probably already knew that)
I just love you coming on to support him, the more people that do, the longer he may stay on as leader

Someone is going to have to beat off the cult of Farron.

The shadow foreign secretary answered, quite rightly. And Corbyn has condemned bombing on all sides, which includes Russia.
But he wouldn't condemn just them would he? Just like he condemned violence on all sides in Northern Ireland but flatly refused multiple times to condemn the IRA by name, thereby implying they were equivalent to the Army who were there to try and keep the peace in a horrible situation where the IRA were murdering whoever they liked on both sides of the Irish Sea. And like he conflated the state of Israel with ISIS.
He knows how to make friends, does Comrade Corbyn😏

Cue his fans coming on to explain he didn't really say that, and if he did he didn't mean it, and what he really meant was something completely different...

I do think that an ability to think on their feet and answer critics/hecklers/interviewers/anyone else in clear unambiguous language would be a real asset for any politician with pretensions to high office. Oh well.

Tatchell is a clown,he's always wanted to be a big political figure and never made it.
If he starts regularly going against Corbyn then it's the best news JC could get

Why would he just condemn Russia and not Assad and ISIS??? There are no good guys in this conflict, so he has rightly condemned all bombing and violence.

Condemning all sides is a pretty standard diplomatic phrasing, used by many world leaders and the UN.
