Hey, you remember that article a few days ago saying Corbyn's side needs to decide whether all this stuff is distraction or evidence of a great man etc. etc.? Yeah, well shit like this...

Quote:
The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail and various others have also published a photo of him folding his thumb while holding up his fingers, in a way they describe as a salute to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. That settles it. If you don’t constantly check the shape of your thumb to make sure it’s not folded in a way similar to the way it’s folded by Muslim groups in Egypt, you might as well strap Semtex to your chest and get a bus to Syria.
...it's why people say that.

It's really laughable that Steel, or anybody else, would suggest Corbyn just happened to have his thumb folded, so it just happened to look like the Rabaa salute. Because that's obviously ridiculous, and he's obviously doing the Rabaa salute, and very intentionally.

Maybe instead of making fun of the suggestion that Corbyn might have made a hand gesture in support of upwards of 1000+ people killed and 4000+ people injured by the Egyptian authorities, Corbyn's supporters need to have enough respect for themselves, their opponents and the dead of Rabaa to say "yes, he did, and that's the right thing, because 1000 were killed and that's not something to make jokes about."
