Indeed...and quite rightly all these growing pointers that he was vehemently anti British and consorted with all sorts of undesirables will inevitably lose Labour the next election (if they don't find somebody decent to oust him in time).
The pointers, in big neon lights, will only be ignored by the wilfully stubborn and purposefully naive, which thankfully most people aren't inclined to be. The old duffer (who never had a proper job) can retire and sip tea to his hearts content and reminisce about his Commie and terrorist supporting days.

Exactly he had nothing to offer them he knew nothing... nothing about thatchers wardrobe nothing about live aid, nothing!
So why is he under so much scrutiny?

He was just one of many diplomats and MPs meeting people to facilitate better communication between governments, that's what they do.
That's how the cold war ended, that's how the Irish peace process developed with representatives discussing issues of mutual importance.

I fail to see what he has done here, as far as I can see it's just the right wing media throwing **** in the vain hope that some sticks!

If this was a one off incident then I could see the concern but it happens every single time Labour are close to power, the guy had met with these people years ago so where was the furore then, he has stood as an MP in his constituency countless times... why was it not an issue then a matter of national importance?..... Because it isn't!

I'll ask you again..

the guy had met with these people years ago so where was the furore then, he has stood as an MP in his constituency countless times... why was it not an issue then a matter of national importance?.

If he is so dangerous why has he not been 'exposed' before now... why has he been allowed a seat in parliament and in positions of influence and trust all the while rising to the top job through he Labour ranks if he is such a liability?....

Get some perspective.

Well, its obvious, nobody knew about it then - neither was he aiming to become a PM.
You do know he is anti - British, don't you? And that his top aids and McDonnell and Abbot are also Anti - British.
Do you not mind this at all?

Also, he'll only be dangerous if he becomes PM, which he won't. At present he's just an continuing embarrassment.

Ah it's only come to light now, 30yrs later? They were just flicking through some old files and ...oops! what have we here?

What a load of balls, seriously... you think people devote their entire lives and careers to politics, advocating progressive beneficial policies for the good of society because they are anti British?!

I suppose you're going to tell me selling arms to regimes for whom human rights are an unspeakable myth, selling off any and all infrastructure, whilst imposing decades of crippling austerity plunging families into a bottomless pit of debt that sees the use of food banks explode 2700% is very 'British'?....Pffffft!!!

Is this a load of balls too? .....

Diane Abbott backed victory for the IRA in an interview with a pro-republican journal, The Sunday Times has found.
Abbott, who will become home secretary if Labour wins the election, said in the 1984 interview that Ireland “is our struggle — every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.”
The interview was found during research by The Sunday Times in Irish and republican archives

What do you say about that?

The same files disclose that the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, personally led or took part in at least 72 separate events or actions with Sinn Fein and pro-republican groups during the years of the IRA’s armed struggle — far more than previously known.
These included a petition to Downing Street on behalf of Hugh Doherty, a member of the IRA’s Balcombe Street gang convicted of killing seven people, and protests against the extradition of Dessie Ellis, a top IRA bomb maker who has denied links to about 50 deaths.

Your comment on this?

The archives also show the main IRA-sympathising groups in Britain held private strategy meetings in Corbyn’s former constituency office — owned by the Labour Party and part-funded by taxpayers from his MP’s allowance.

And this?

The interview was published in Labour and Ireland, the journal of the Labour committee on Ireland (LCI), a small pro-republican support group in the party that operated at the height of the IRA’s armed struggle in the 1980s and early 1990s.
The archives disclose that LCI was chaired for some of the period by John McDonnell, now the shadow chancellor. Corbyn and Abbott were also regular speakers..
There were close links between LCI and the Troops Out Movement [Tom], another IRA-sympathising body with which Corbyn was closely associated. He spoke at more than 20 Troops Out events or meetings.

All anti British actions, supporting murderers trying to bomb their way out of N. Ireland staying part of the UK, as democratically voted by the people themselves.

Yet you repeatedly deny that Corbyn was an IRA sympathiser. So really you're not going to believe anything negative about your hero, are you? You seem to just block it out.

McDonnell also said 'it was the guns and bombs that brought the British to the negotiating table'.

Great pro - British people Corbyn chooses as his closest allies, eh?
And the above is just his IRA anti British connections.....there are ample examples - he was a well known Commie sympathiser, as well as a supporter of other anti - British causes, but you obviously don't do your research. With a record like that and with those he keeps close to him, he's not a good candidate at all to become a British PM, and he won't.

ftr, I'm neutral re. Corbyn
but
the language you used is very disturbing. You basically call these three politicians as acting against British interests and holding views harmful to Britain.
You know, there are political differences between people where they sincerely believe that the aim of making a country better and stronger can be achieved in different ways. But you claim these people intend to harm the country they serve.
That is a very serious accusation. Prove it.
