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.
