Believe me, I condemn the IRA for what they did and I condemn the RUC for their ruthless aggression and shoot to kill policies. Innocents on both sides were murdered. But just like what we now see in Palestine/Israel, depending on which side your on, you will only condemn those who oppose you.

Corbyn has always been a peace atavist. He tries to find a cause before trying to find a solution and that's why he and others like him, were ideal candidates to send in when Margaret Thatchers government were having secret talks with the IRA http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-16366413 and so I will continue to defend him. Defending him is not the same as defending the IRA.

Negotiating and sympathising are worlds apart. Thatcher negotiated, she certainly didn't sympathise.

Corbyn was an IRA friend and sympathiser, if you don't mind defending that, that is your right. I don't think there is any more to be said without going round in circles.
