Corbyn lied, Virgin Trains lied, Harambe died

No, come prevention and refuting a claim aren't the same thing unless Corbyn committed some kind of crime in making his claim. If he did, then the footage should be submitted to the relevant authorities. Not to the BBC.

I did wonder where they stand releasing the footage as it must surely be filmed for the purpose of crime prevention and not making political points. I also don't get the point of them refuting Corbyn's claims, whether he lied or not. Even if that train wasn't 'rammed', we all know that trains do get 'rammed' and you struggle to find a seat, I know I've been on trains like that and I'm sure most have, and they've also said they're getting new trains to increase the seating capacity in 2018, which must be an admission that there isn't enough capacity.

It seems to me this isn't an exercise in clearing their name but in making a political point of their own.
