(14,737 posts)33. One man's "self defence" is another mans GBH
EDL thugs like to call their activities "self defense" for instance. It is notable that the first principle that Corbynites discard as inconvenient is that one. You could even argue that it gives Owen Smith the greater nonviolent credentials!
I'm just going to sit back and wait for somebody to use the "b-b-but the Blairites voted to bomb ISIS" argument now!
