Think what you like but it was a lie and a smear to say what you did. He clearly condemned the IRA bombings.

Seriously, if you're just going to think what you like, regardless of the evidence, why should anyone on this forum waste their time engaging with you?

He said he condemned all bombing and that seems pretty clear to anyone who wants to listen. At the link below you'll see Martin McGuinness with the Queen, and I'm suggesting to you that Corbyn may actually have actively helped the process which allowed this to happen. Which is an awful lot more than his critics did to broker peace.

According to the profile of Corbyn on the BBC website today, one of his causes was: Miscarriages of justice: Worked on behalf of the Guildford Four and Birmingham Six, who were eventually found to be have been wrongly convicted of IRA bombings in England in the mid-1970s http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2017-39807055
Or maybe that was wrongheaded as well, since the Establishment had secured convictions against somebody at least?

Anybody criticising Corbyn for a 'pro-IRA' stance would do well to remember that many UK politicians, over the decades, have maintained 'back channel' lines of communication to the IRA, and it was those means which eventually led the Blair/Brown government to achieving the Good Friday agreement. You don't have to support a movement to recognise that its views may be sincerely held, and that establishing a dialogue with it is preferable to fighting with it. That, I understand to be the essence of Corbyn's position all along.

It's also worth recalling the support many Conservative Party affiliated organisations gave to the apartheid regime in South Africa branding Mandella a terrorist, even demanding he be hung. No one could argue Corbyn has done anything but argue for peace and unity, though it would be very easy to produce an opposite argument against many ugly characters still lurking within the Tories.
