This is a normal post organisation, the majority of whom were fully paid members of and organisers of Momentum.
Independent SAGE is not independent at all, but a highly political organisation, the majority of whom were fully paid members of and organisers of Momentum.

This is a normal post what an odd accusation to make
given that Independent Sage are the principle advisory group to boris johnson and worked with dominic cummings who sat in on their meetings, and whose main criticisms has been that they're too closely aligned with Johnsons policies
maybe you need to add an extra layer of foil to your hat

This is a normal post No. Wrong. Again.
SAGE and Independent SAGE are two very different organisations.

This is a normal post ah you are right on this, a bit confusing given SAGE call themselves an Independent advisory group, I assumed you were using a formal title for them
still, couldn't find a single link between this other group's members and Momentum, apart from King being an ex-science advisor to Blair and Brown's government. Still, not particularly pertinent to the BMJ article

This is a normal post Hmmm, it’s almost as if Independent SAGE actually want to be confused with SAGE by people.

This is a normal post like the Real IRA I guess
their published advice seems better than the SAGE that's been advising the government when I read through their covid press releases, but that's not really saying much.

This is a normal post Certainly their advice has consistently been uncannily in line with that of all the trades unions.

This is a normal post the metaphor was contextual
in the sense of two organisations with highly similar names and purposes leading to confusion. you forgetting to capitalise "real" shows it's an apt one, as one could easily confuse that you were referencing the genuine IRA instead of the splinter organisation, especially if you were to read your reply out of context as you've done to mine

This is a normal post I love how you always accuse me of being wound up and angry.
It’s always the final stage of your straw clutching.

This is a normal post paraphrasing is the only way to keep myself entertained when arguing with a dullard
even that simple concept is beyond you

This is a normal post If you’re paraphrasing, why are you using quotation marks? Mug.

This is a normal post you're really quite poor at grammar, aren't you? Not the best quality in a pedantic dullard, but who am I to judge?
quotation marks are used in paraphrasing to indicate to the reader that it's you that I'm paraphrasing, rather than making my own statement. It's no different to how regular quotes are used.
to give you a usage example, I could paraphrase your above reply by getting to the essence of it with: "I don't really understand paraphrasing".
Now, I guess you'll claim your ignorance was a deliberate wind-up, but I know from considerable experience you really are that witless. Combined with an infantile and borderline sociopathic refusal to deal with being in error, it's quite the combination

This is a normal post Donating money to Labour under Corbyn’s leadership doesn’t?
All donations named above were.

This is a normal post The organisation known as Momentum require their members to also be members of Labour. Labour do not require their members to be members of Momentum,
and donating to Labour doesn't even require membership of the Labour party, let alone Momentum.

You're just wrong about this. You need better sources of information.
