Oh gosh I am not going to get involved in resurrecting the old troubles, of Northern Ireland particularly.
Things have thankfully moved on since all that, and shocking and tragic as the actions were on both sides at times, hopefully those days never return nor the hatred that went with them.
My whole ancestry on my Mothers side is Irish and I've heard enough awful stories as to those living in the South and North of Ireland as to that, to last many lifetimes.

Back to the topic, I would not have advised Corbyn to employ this individual, for the reasons I mentioned in my earlier post.
However he has, rightly or wrongly,it will be time that dictates if it turns out to be a damaging or just a neutral move.
