In the sense that david cameron tweeting "man I feel bad about them refugees" offers succour to those in calais, yes.

So the tweet wasn't honest?

More in the sense that tweeting isn't a very effective form of support.

I mean I feel pretty confident that corbyn doesn't think that rape is good, and that isn't the point of his tweet, but if you object to his tweet on the basis it constitutes material support for something you disagree with, I would suggest that tweeting doesn't actually do anything.

If what you say is true then it doesn't bode well for Corbyn's strategy of engaging with disengaged voters through social media.

I think you people would look sympathetically on FGM if Corbyn said we should consider offering it on the NHS.
I don't think the NHS should offer any ritual genital mutilation.

Probably not any ritual mutilation in general.

If Corbyn's plan for winning the GE involves nothing but tweeting at people by himself every once in a while then yes I would agree that it's not very effective.

It's good, that corbyn is against extradition to the US, and is willing to communicate with groups who are also against it.

I accept that you don't like Corbyn. I don't agree, but there it is.

I do though, have a few questions about that tweet. Given that it's nearly four years old, how did you come across it now? Were you searching for "Corbyn + Assange" and that was the most 'damning' thing you found? Have you had it stashed away for four years just in case?

Since when does saying you meet someone imply support of them? If I were to say "Went to a great charity tug-o-war today, met a team of vicars and Jeffrey Archer" would you, knowing that I hate Tories, assume that I supported Archer because I met him? If not, what, in Corbyn's background or past behaviour makes you think that he'd support rape-fugitive Assange?

Your comparison is a bad one. Jeremy Archer being present at a tug o war you enjoyed attending is coincidental. Assange supporters being at an anti extradition rally is not.

His published support for a rally attended by his campaigners.

That's fair enough if it just popped up from someone retweeting it, I didn't really think you were some obsessive nutter.

If you're saying that Corbyn's "published support for a rally attended by his campaigners." is a good indicator that Corbyn supports Assange (which I don't necessarily agree with, presumably it was a public event, all kinds of people would have attended, some you'd support, some you wouldn't), doesn't that show that Corbyn might support Assange's fear of being extradited to the US, not Assange's bail absconding?

Is that what you meant by "Corbyn sports Assange"? I don't want to assume you meant that "Corbyn supports Assange skipping bail and refusing to answer the rape allegations", because your initial post was vague.

Went to a rally protesting US extradition attempts against various whistleblowers, a US imprisonment camp where prisoners are held for a decade without trial, and human rights abuses in general. I have no comment in case someone reads a different context into it four years in the future
