The Good Friday Agreement seen the release of terrorists - given a free pardon despite their crimes and Corbyn's part in supporting them has been wiped out along with their life sentences - some of them swapping prison life for careers as Sinn Finn politicians which has been tolerated as acceptable by many, so why not Corbyn, who never actually murdered anyone himself?

...and who is going to to have the balls to go for Corbyn, given the precarious status of the peace process over the last few years? Who wants to be the politician who pokes the hornets nest and adds more fuel to an already volatile situation? Let sleeping dogs lie, because really, who cares about N. Ireland when we have our own worries?

The thought of Corbyn becoming PM makes me feel sick to my stomach. I can understand why it isn't the same for the main UK, but at least read up on him and be aware that he has a shady past - and maybe he's changed, in fairness I can't rule that out either. But I'll always detest him for personal reasons as do many here in N. Ireland.

Belfast, N.Ireland hasn't forgotten:

Well that's hypocritical, if no one really cared then why are people constantly bringing it up? If it's true, how is he still in power?

There must be no real evidence to support these claims otherwise his enemies would have forced him to resign by now.
