It was reported today that Facebook had censored and removed “Leave-EU’s” latest campaign video.
Jeremy Corbyn with Gerry Adams
The video, an audio recording of Jeremy Corbyn refusing to condemn the IRA in an interview, as a video of the provisional IRA bombing Manchester is shown.
Leave-EU said that ‘according to Facebook the video contravenes ‘Facebook Community Standards’.

Following the removal of the video by Facebook Leave EU issued the following statement:
“We ran a video yesterday that received 250,000 views in a matter of hours before Facebook decided to remove it, the first time this has ever happened.
“Leave.EU has nearly 800,000 Facebook followers of all political persuasions, larger than any UK political party. We don’t always please our supporters and we have been happy to go after every political party or establishment body.
“We have had complaints from Victoria Beckham, NASA and a host of other luvvies after releasing hard-hitting material but we have never had a video banned.
“Social media was critical to the success of the Brexit campaign and allowed us to reach huge numbers of people with our message bypassing the “failing MSM” to quote President Trump.
“Our best performing video, “Brexit – The Animated Movie” was watched by over 13 million people with a reach of nearly 25% of the voting public. It is estimated that over 50% of the population has viewed our material on social media.
“Leave.EU has been controversial and not afraid to attack politicians of all colours.
“The Labour Party has selected a Remain candidate for the Stoke Central by-election and the national party continues to support unlimited immigration and Freedom of Movement.
“In a flagrant example of censorship, Facebook unilaterally pulled the video in question yesterday evening and informed our social media team its content contravened Facebook Community Standards.
“This is a social networking service that has hosted live streams broadcasting the torture of a mentally handicapped Trump supporter in Chicago and a migrant gang rape in Sweden.
“Was this video controversial? Perhaps. Emotive? Certainly, but it could hardly be regarded as hate speech and pales in comparison to other videos which have been hosted by Facebook without complaint.
“Facebook prides itself on being a platform where its users can “raise awareness about important issues”. I guess the Leader of the Opposition refusing to condemn terrorist atrocities which occurred on British soil isn’t considered an important issue.
“This is a worrying development for freedom of speech and a clear case of political censorship.”

John Shaw ( Party Official ) This Party has ran several articles that exposes International Marxist Corbyn’s Connection and indeed Support of the I.R.A. OVER MANY YEARS. People in the street just don’t realise the true nature of the type of people who have , after years of infiltration , taken over the Labour Party. They are supported by a large group of very violent ‘ Commies ‘ of every shade who just don’t believe in DEMOCRACY. Even as we speak they will be planning mass violence against the Donald Trump visit , later this year. We decent Nationalists have suffered the attentions of these ‘ reds ‘ for years. I have bad news for them though , WE ARE STARTING TO WIN NOW !
Well done for linking to this video, says more about Corbyn than a thousand words.
