      Video has emerged of soldiers on a shooting range in Kabul firing at a target of Jeremy Corbyn. MOD confirms it as legit:pic.twitter.com/qOr84Aiivj

      I’m told there are simulated paint rounds, not bullets. But “this is a terrible look” as one senior defence source just said to me.

          The range is in the loft of New Kabul Compound in Afghanistan. Soldiers practice 'guardian angel' drills here - protecting VIPs.

          There are images of celebrities on the range, but as VIPs to be protected rather than shot at.

          It does "look" bad especially when one considers the British Army behaviour in recent times in NI (Ballymurphy; Bloody Sunday), something the SoS has tried to block from criminal proceedings. These men need to be removed from the Army if that's their mentality and behaviour.

          Oooh! Like that makes any difference. So if someone if filmed shooting “paintballs” at a photo of the PMs forehand or even a phot of you, it is just a “terrible look”. Please name the defense source who made this “terrible understatement”

          Is it a good look for Corbyn to be siding with terrorists who bombed and murdered their comrades?
