So when Corbyn says he was talking to the IRA, he wasn't negotiating an end to violence, he was agreeing with their aims.
I'm certain that there is an interpretation of this that shows Corbyn in a good light.Unfortunately, I don't know what that interpretation could possibly be. I'm sure one of his acolytes will tell us.
I remember reading about that ambush. Brits were not f

Meh.
Thatcher's government were in talks with the IRA days after the Brighton bombing.
Of course they were, they were the sitting government not some irrelevant backbencher who wasn’t in talks anyway, he was just offering words of support and encouragement as an individual.Thatcher's government were in talks with the IRA days after the Brighton bombing.

Fact is, he was on the winning side again. If more MPs had done the same thing, and got behind the nationalists, there could have been a power-sharing agreement a lot sooner.
No. He wasn't. All he did was offer encouragement to the IRA. He has blood on his hands imho. Peace came through a combination of determined diplomacy by brave politicians - of whom JC was most certainly not one - and the aftermath of the 9/11 terror act that pretty well saw the funding stream from North America dry up practically overnight.
JC was not interested in power sharing. He was supportive of a united Ireland. You would be stretching the truth beyond any notion of credulity to claim that Corbyn was "on the winning side".

Mo Mowlem (among others) most certainly yes... Jezzzzzzzzzza. Hmmmm, shall we just say not so much.

Idiot. He was an utter irrelevance to the peace process. If anything his support for the terrorists helped legitimise their recruiting.Supercilious Sid said:

Likewise an anti-semitic quote from Corbyn. Not a pro-palestinian quote (or pro palestinian aims of reclaiming the land) but an actual anti-semitic quote.
There was a phone-in radio show this morning on this and NOBODY could do it. In fact after a while it became embarrassing as caller after caller rang in with zero evidence for either and was dispatched quickly by the presenter.

The Labour leader was “happy to commemorate all those who died fighting for an independent Ireland” at an event organised by Republican leaders in London’s Conway Hall during the 1987 general election. From here: http://www.cityam.com/265655/jeremy-corbyn-cant-re...
