Corbyn’s Labour & the IRA

[sapfo]

‘Corbyn got IRA bomber Gerard McLaughlin a council house, jumping a queue of 12k people.

.

Also, If Corbyn wanted peace why did he vote against the peace process and the Anglo-Irish Agreement in Parliament. He clearly supported the IRA by attending and speaking at annual pro-IRA commemorations for terrorists between 1986 and 1992. He also could have supported the SDLP (Northern Ireland’s Social Democratic and Labour Party) who wanted to unify ireland through a democratic process, instead he supported the IRA terrorists.
His front bench is full of IRA and terrorist sympathisers. Here is Corbyn's shadow chancellor John McDonnell in 2003: " It’s about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle. It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table. The peace we have now is due to the action of the IRA. Because of the bravery of the IRA and people like Bobby Sands we now have a peace process."
Dianne Abbott declared her support for the IRA in 1980's too, and claimed "every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us". ’

Brilliant post Sapfo,
So when I say I am voting for one reason above all.
I think Johnson is a buffoon, I think my Conservative candidate Andrew Mitchell is an embarrassment, especially after his fiasco over his bike and the police not opening the double gates for him.
However my vote will be against an enemy of this country.
Comrade Corbyn.
A dangerous person.
So I will vote Tory against this enemy of the state.

I imagine most voters who don't support political parties like they do their football team (even when it's sh1t) do so on a least worse basis, rather than in hope of a better future.

Or not completely terrifying, in this case.
