Watch in real time as Owen Jones cooks himself alive upon realising his entire defence of Bob Vylan makes no sense.
Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored yesterday, the Marxist-in-Chief insisted Bob Vylan didn’t really mean ‘death to Israeli soldiers’ when he chanted “death to the IDF” at Glastonbury last weekend. No, it was really just a metaphor; Vylan only wants the IDF to be dismantled as an institution, like NHS England or something…
That was until he was shown footage of Vylan actually saying “death to every single IDF soldier out there.” Bit tricky to wriggle out of that one…
Speaking on Times Radio, former Home Secretary David Blunkett spoke about overdiagnosis of mental problems:
“Let’s distinguish those who are really severely mentally ill, diagnosed with things that require prolonged medical and diagnostic treatment. My wife and I talk about this a lot, because she’s a retired GP, about the fact that you can be sad without being ill. You can be momentarily depressed because your boyfriend or girlfriend’s just thrown you and you’re not mentally ill. You can even have mild issues, which can be dealt with with the right kind of support, but it doesn’t make you mentally ill. So we’ve got a real task, I think, to get the psychology, if you like, of this over. But there are things where you definitely need medical intervention, and there are other things where you need good friends, you need good connectivity, and you need a job.”
