Corbyn condemns 'all violence' in Venezuela...
Oh snore.
Back in the 80s when many different Latin American countries were enduring US-supported tyrannies, a public condemnation of 'all the violence' was shorthand for downplaying the oppressive conduct of the state, as well as an attempt to establish moral equivalence between the authorities and their armed forces and anyone brave enough to stand-up to them with anything other than a placard.
In other words, casuistry Jeremy, pure and simple.
