I take it you don’t agree with democracy? The people of N.Ireland (Protestant and many Catholic) voted democratically to remain part of the UK, the WAR was the one the IRA inflicted on the citizens with the use of bombs and bullets to murder their way into something the majority didn’t want!
...and your potted history of N. Ireland and the origins of the conflict is woefully uncomplicated and ignorant, but then you didn’t live here in the midst of the worst of it like I did so I’ll overlook that as haven’t the inclination or the hours of my time needed to explain the culpability of both sides through the years.
This is despicable in its apologist stance.
There was NO justification for the indiscriminate slaughter of innocents, there was NO justification for Corbyn's support; the minute he smells anything anti - British he's there, poking his nose in and dishing out tea and sympathy.
I see you have conveniently ignored these quotes from republican archives I posted in my previous post...

The media and the Government know darn well he was an IRA supporter, the impartial world and its mother knows he was an IRA supporter.
....so I'll repeat part of what I said in my first paragraph: If you support a cause where the participants are killing and maiming thousands of innocent men, women, children and babies indiscriminately to achieve their aims, then you are supporting cold blooded murderers and thugs.
The proof and reliability that he supported IRA killings are there in his own actions.
These quotes from the Spectator say it well:

Great post Jet.
I don’t claim to have any personal experience of the Irish troubles but I know cold blooded murder when I see it. It isn’t For a bunch of militant fanatics to declare ‘war’ on innocent people and can never be justified. They were murderers - and no amount of rhetoric will change that. Supporting terrorism, whatever the cause, is no better.
Like you I find the attempted justification for mass murder very disturbing and believe such attitutudes are part of the problem. People have a right to a cause but not to murder innocent people - it is idealistic garbage that demonstrates a lack of humanity. People with such ideologies who believe they have the right to sacrifice others for their beliefs are dangerous and should never be appeased. Sacrificing their own lives for their cause may be considered admirable but sacrificing others is simple cowardice.
