About the Author
DANIEL READ, Distinguished Collaborator ||| Daniel Read is a human rights journalist and political analyst holed up in Western Europe. He originally studied journalism at Kingston University, London, prior to obtaining post-graduate degrees in both human rights and global politics. He has written on myriad topics, from environmental and human rights related issues in Latin America to British domestic and foreign policy. He has also carried out multiple interviews, from political figures such as Noam Chomsky, Tony Benn and Jeremy Corbyn to experts on international humanitarian law such as Neill Kirane (in Ramallah) and environmental spokesmen such as David Van Wyk (in Johannesburg). Daniel cares deeply about the plight of the Global South, ecology, human/animal rights and political and social empowerment. Essentially he’s interested in real journalism, real issues and real people. Real ales are also pretty epic. He blogs at uncommonsense.me and tweets at @DanielTRead.
What is curious is how that very same government are now negotiating to win the support of the loyalist Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), itself an entity known for its own aggressive role during Northern Ireland’s troubles. If merely talking to Republicans makes Corbyn an “apologist for terror” than openly seeking the support of a party known for its links to Loyalist violence would presumably make the government doubly guilty.
