Not true. Very many Catholics do not want a United Ireland. We have it too good as members of the UK economically. The Irish Republic couldn't afford us. They have enough economic troubles of their own.

There is a difference between a terrorist sympathiser and a person who has sympathy with a cause. The IRA has fought against British rule in Northern Ireland......
What Corbyn is sympathetic to, is an Irish right to unity, independence and freedom like they have in the rest of Ireland.

Do you not believe in a democratic process, DR? The citizens of N.Ireland will have a United Ireland when they vote democratically for it, they have always had that choice. To date, the majority of N.Irish citizens do not want a United Ireland and that is why we are still part of the UK.
Corbyn, like the IRA, doesn't believe in democracy and the ballot box for N.Ireland and that is why he was sympathetic to the IRA trying to achieve what the majority didn't want by bombing and killing their way out.
When eventually they realised violence was never going to achieve their goal, they entered into Good Friday Agreement with the Unionists.
