This is the third time in our rare discourses that you have slipped Bloody Sunday into the equation and it comes across as an excuse for the thousands of deaths caused by the IRA. Why do you keep referring to Bloody Sunday and never ever mention the thousands of deaths in the following years?
I have wondered for some time if you have the same sympathies as Corbyn....which may be one of the reasons why you support someone so unproven with such blindness and passion.

I'm going to be honest from the off, I've reported the comment in bold TWICE as I don't appreciate with you suggesting I'm an IRA sympathiser simply because I disagree with your view on Corbyn. But seeing as it's still here I feel I have a right to reply.
I keep reiterating the Bloody Sunday murder of innocents, as that's what it was of course in the hope that you will see that whatever sins came before he is not party to them nor does he have blood on his hands....Unlike the govt of the day, now you can gaslight all you like but the fact remains that we were up to our neck in it well before any involvement from Corbyn, where's the 'sympathy for them?
Terrorism isn't something that just happens... there were years of murder, injustice, false imprisonment, marginalisation and misinformation which led to factions
on both sides forming.
It's impossible to just jump to a point in history and start tub thumping... you have to look at the picture as a whole and assess accountability.
Please stop with your irrational accusations please and attempt to maintain a little objectivity here.
'In all
19 people were killed in 1969, 14 of them civilians. They included a nine-year-old schoolboy, struck by a police bullet as he lay in his bedroom. An Irish Republican Army (IRA) member died in a car crash and
a teenage member of the Fianna, the IRA’s junior wing, was shot by loyalists. A member of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) was killed by his own bomb - just one of many paramilitaries to die accidental deaths. The first Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officer killed was shot on the Shankill Road by the UVF.
Each death was a terrible event for family, friends and neighbours. Within a short period, events would dictate a pattern of conflict spanning decades. There were phases to the bloodshed.
British Home Secretary Reginald Maudling declared that he would settle for an "acceptable level of violence" at the start of 1971, but within a year the introduction of internment (imprisonment without trial) and the events of Bloody Sunday served to recruit large numbers of young nationalists into republican paramilitary groups.
