Ken Confronted With Victims’ Families’ Views on 7/7 Slur

This is the spectacularly awkward moment when Ken Livingstone was confronted about his claim that the 7/7 bombers “gave their lives in protest at Iraq” by the families of the victims. One calls Ken “a stupid man who just wants to upset people”, a second says “he is legitimising terrorism”. Ken replied that they shouldn’t believe what they read in the media. Classy.

UPDATE: Birmingham MP Jack Dromey has called on Jeremy Corbyn to sack Ken Livingstone for “legitimising” terrorism.
