Its not just he wrote a column for the rag, that's bad enough and is not excused by appealing to potential Labour voters, in my opinion, there are other avenues.
It's the nature of his reply, no prefacing it with any acknowledgement or understanding of the plight of the families and survivors, who've just seen the state fuck up yet another trail, another travesty, another Judge dismissing arguments on dodgy grounds holding no one to account for their unlawful killing, their slaughter, their lies, their cover up, the utter misery they've inflicted on us. No acknowledgement of the pain faced by Andrew Devine's family, for the past 32 years. just a stark statement of his intent, yeah we get it we're not important enough for an qualifying sentence, I'm doing it anyway, live with it.
Even if he was right in his reasoning, he should hold his head in shame for the contempt and arrogance and lack of thought that runs through that reply. I want rid of this Charlatan Johnston before he destroys the NHS, I want a Labour Government as much as anyone but when our side are in the wrong we need to say so, Jack Straw's actions nearly buried our fightback, Wes Streetings actions aren't comparable but he needs telling a bit of humbleness towards those who've literally given up their lives to get to 'The Truth' wouldn't go amiss.
