Corbyn has stood in silent commemoration honouring the dead many times, the problem is that it was usually for dead terrorists.

Such as this minute's silence to the IRA dead in 1984. 1/3
He did it again in 1987, when he stood in silence honouring the IRA terrorists killed in an SAS ambush, at a Wolfe Tone Bobby Sands Memorial event.

Corbyn: "I'm happy to commemorate all those who died fighting for an independent Ireland" 2/3
We all know about the wreath laying to the Black September terrorists.

He even (deliberately) chose the picture of him placing the wreath on their memorial and not on the PLO one, for his Morning Star article. 3/3

Corbyn in The Times
@TimesCorbyn
I see claims like this a lot, but has anyone actually fact checked it?

Spoiler: it's composed of half-truths, irrelevant examples and events that actually demonstrate that Corbyn was an IRA sympathiser. 1/12
Early Day Motion 28 does NOT mention the IRA.

The IRA have also never taken responsibility for these murders, hence Corbyn felt he could condemn this atrocity, without condemning the IRA. 2/12
There were 20+ EDMs in the 1990s condemning the IRA, Corbyn didn't sign any of them, here are a few examples. 3/12

Corbyn in The Times
@TimesCorbyn
Exclusive: Corbyn accused the SAS of 'an act of terrorism'.

In 1988, he signed an EDM which called the deaths of 3 IRA terrorists 'an act of terrorism', after the SAS ambushed them in Gibraltar.

He has never accused the IRA 'of an act of terrorism'. 1/2
8 months later & just days after the IRA killed 11 at Enniskillen's Poppy Day massacre, he signed this EDM:

'the violence in Northern Ireland and bloodshed in NI stems primarily from the long-standing British occupation of that country and the partition imposed by force' 2/2
Corbyn refuses repeatedly to condemn what the IRA did.

On Remembrance Sunday we come together to solemnly commemorate and honour all those who have served and their fallen comrades, who died so we could be free.

No one would ever try & hijack the event for cheap political stunts would they?

No one except Jeremy Corbyn in 1986. 1/4
'At their head strode manipulative, acid-tongued, far-Left Labour MP for Islington North, Jeremy Corbyn.' 2/4
'Even he [Blair Peach], a man of sincere views might have winced to find a wreath honouring him lying among the dozens placed there on Remembrance Sunday by the blind, the disabled, the war widows, the old soldiers... not to mention the Queen.' 3/4

Texas's anti-SLAPP statute requires the judge to enter an order for the loser to pay the winner's attorney fees. It's not optional.

TCPA §27.009(a)

Twitter says you've @'d me 78 times since 6/11, with 20+ of them in just the past few hours

This seems like a pot-kettle moment for you

Definitely a reasonable assumption. Given Screech's perpetual word vomit on YouTube, there are likely some things he'll authenticate that would help on the merits of the TCPA motion too

I served my country. I saw the horrors war and I was scarred. I saw hate and fear in equal measure. I find it harder since my service to maintain my anger. I react inappropriately at times to the mildest of criticism. I have sought counselling but keep reliving the past.
I never judged someone by their religion, ethnicity, colour or gender. When someone was dying, injured or in distress I reached out to help. It was what I had signed up for it was what I trained for. I thought it would make a difference.
It did make a difference. It changed me it left me damaged because I could not being the suffering to an end. Today the UK feels like the War Zone I left behind. Division, distrust and hate seep from every sinew of our society.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
