@Jamie4Labour Imagine these were your family, your children. Think about how “Hell yes” sounds to the survivors. https://t.co/IzuuaEKIMZ

@NFZSyria What are you talking about??

@Jamie4Labour These are victims of Assad regime’s Sarin attack on Ghouta. Do you know context of “Hell yes”? Didn’t you watch the interview?

@Jamie4Labour Ed Miliband was talking about his response to the Assad regime’s Sarin attack on Ghouta when he used the phrase “Hell yes”.

@NFZSyria How do you know? I’ve used the phrase myself. As do millions of people daily. Think you’re very wrong here.

@Jamie4Labour So you didn’t watch Ed Miliband interviewed by Paxman?
— No-Fly Zone Syria (@NFZSyria) March 28, 2015

@NFZSyria No, I actually did. But you clearly took something very different from it than everyone else.

@Jamie4Labour He was talking about his response to the Assad regime’s Sarin attack on Ghouta in August 2013. You do know that then?
— No-Fly Zone Syria (@NFZSyria) March 28, 2015

@NFZSyria Not arguing with you. It’s got nothing to do with that. At all.

@Jamie4Labour How can it have nothing to do with it when that’s what he was talking about?
— No-Fly Zone Syria (@NFZSyria) March 28, 2015

Denial. @Jamie4Labour Chair Scottish Labour can’t accept Miliband’s “hell yes” has anything to do w. Sarin massacre. https://t.co/s157ZZpBZk

And so @Jamie4Labour has blocked me.

So proud are Mr Miliband’s supporters, they’ve made a “Hell yes” t-shirt.

I have voted Labour in every general election until now. But not this time.
