  • In other news (and I'm deliberately trying to not think about Paris), Corbyn has said that it would have been better to bring Mohammed Emwazi to trial, rather than kill him with a drone.

    That in itself has caused some reaction, at least in the comments sections.

    I have to say I totally agree. I don't believe in capital punishment for any reason. Now, in this case I'm not sure how realistic an arrest would have been, but at the very least I think it's good that Corbyn made the point. As soon as extrajudicial killing becomes the norm, we are little better than than those who would kill.

    Sometimes I feel that Sanders and Corbyn are the only sensible leaders in their respective countries, who actually seem focussed on humanity, and doing what's best for the people.

  • +1 I assume it would have been near impossible to capture him without putting a lot of military lives at risk but the point that trial by a court of law would have been preferable is an excellent one.

  • I liked how he said it in a way that will make it very hard to purposely mis-quote him.
