The man who works for a media organisation that worked flat out to destroy Corbyn and deny us a future socialist government has some gall calling out @thecanary here. His shitrag backed Saudi Arabia's record on women and gave Erdogan a column to lecture on human rights.

Wait til you hear what the Brits did…
As a young reporter in Northern Ireland I twice saw kids squirming on the ground in agony after being shot in the knees by the IRA. The memory still haunts me. Kneecap should be free to sing whatever they want - but why do they choose to celebrate such a vicious form of torture?
