@sturdyAlex These were the people without whom we wouldn’t have peace in Northern Ireland. All of them met with Corbyn and McDonnell.

@sturdyAlex You might also consider why Hume, Mallon and Trimble have been written out of recent British history.

[George Brown-Belper @LabourModerate]

@sturdyAlex With respect, the one thing I agree with Corbyn on is the IRA. He was no more supportive of their aims than, say, John Hume.

@TenPercent @djnicholl @PickardJE Yes — it’s sophistry: the presentation of a false binary. I’m not surprised people felt twitted.

@twlldun @peterjukes @JohnRentoul And what you set against it is another distortion. It doesn’t convince. But let’s leave it there.

[George Brown-Belper @LabourModerate]

@twlldun @peterjukes @JohnRentoul You rather seem to take his activism as by the bye — reducing it to this single event. It’s unfair.

[George Brown-Belper @LabourModerate]

@twlldun @peterjukes @JohnRentoul But you don’t seem to be interested in producing a convincing counter-image of Corbyn’s activism.

[George Brown-Belper @LabourModerate]

@twlldun @peterjukes @JohnRentoul But you’ve just flattened out Corbyn’s activism to a single event.

[George Brown-Belper @LabourModerate]

@twlldun @peterjukes @JohnRentoul But it reduces Corbyn’s work to just that meme. That’s why it fails.

[George Brown-Belper @LabourModerate]

@martycon73 @peterjukes @JohnRentoul @twlldun Not interested in insults, I’m afraid. But that piece is poor, dishonest stuff.

[George Brown-Belper @LabourModerate]

@JohnRentoul @twlldun In a piece decrying reductiveness, Corbyn’s work is reduced to one demo. I dislike Jeremy but this is dishonest.
