  • Yeh. There's a picture that's a tweet from John Retouls that says: Will Corbyn say France made itself a target?

    Which is a trifle cunty.

  • Will Corbyn say France made itself a target?

    No, but he was going to say:

    "For the past 14 years, Britain has been at the centre of a succession of disastrous wars that have brought devastation to large parts of the wider Middle East.
    "They have increased, not diminished, the threats to our own national security in the process".

    But decided against it, in light of the attacks.

    Instead he said:

    "My thoughts are with the people of Paris tonight. We stand in solidarity with the French. Such acts are heinous and immoral. It’s vital at a time of such tragedy and outrage not to be drawn into responses which feed a cycle of violence and hatred."

    Which I agree with. You wouldn't want to make yourself a target.
