Re: Fears of Corbyn's IRA Links Growing

I can't help feeling it was a different time many people supported the idea of Ireland being one country, Sinn Fein was the political arm that people hoped might bring it about. I never knew anyone supported ira and the violence but many supported the idea they fought for.

Jeremy was one who did that I would like to hear him say he didn't support the violence bug I have no problem with him supporting a united Ireland.

Oddly same people say he's a pacifist also berate him for supporting violence, that just confuses me he can't be both.

Re: Fears of Corbyn's IRA Links Growing

I see no problem at all in creating a united Ireland with one simple proviso:

that the people of Northern Ireland vote with a majority to leave the UK and join Eire.

Re: Fears of Corbyn's IRA Links Growing

Yes that was what many of us wanted including corbyn IMO

Re: Fears of Corbyn's IRA Links Growing

The problem was that Comrade Corbyn supported the IRA, a terrorist organisation.

For the record, I do not support either Corbyn or the IRA.

Re: Fears of Corbyn's IRA Links Growing

I don't think he did, he's said repeatedly he supported Sinn Fein not ira. I believe him, as a fellow pacifist he couldn't support violence.

Re: Fears of Corbyn's IRA Links Growing

The man has shook hands with terrorists and murderers no thanks.
By not condemning he gives tacit approval

Re: Fears of Corbyn's IRA Links Growing

Just like one of our esteemed members.

Re: Fears of Corbyn's IRA Links Growing

And like mo molem and Maggie thatcher and the queen !

It's part of the peace process to shake hands and try to make things better.

Possibly but Thatcher wasn't hoping to get blown up.
