He did nothing for the peace process. He was never involved. His only role was in defending the IRA, and to pretend otherwise is a disgrace........

Would like to see the quote/quotes/whole article/articles were he 'defends the IRA'.

 

[hullefc]

" I agree with the shooting of British soldiers and believe the more who are killed the better"
Imagine a politician making a statement like that

I am sure you have the whole article at hand to show us when this quote was made and by whom.

It was Tory MP and former IRA member Maria Gatland, and the quote is "agreed", rather than "agree". Still, tho...

I havent said it was Jeremy Corbyn,Im just stating that all parties would condemn a statement like that and you would expect the media to raise the point often

She's a councillor rather than an MP. TBH though to bring it up just highlights the absurdity of the allegations aimed at Corbyn, she is by all accounts a decent sort and has worked hard to recover from the idiocy of her youth - and the only likely reward she'll get is to be thrown under a bus by May et al.

Thats exactly it though,whether it be the idiocy of youth or not,how often has it been brought up? An ex IRA member representing the Conservatives,no fuss kicked up at all why not

 

[Clint Planet]

They've already tried the IRA crap, by saying that he refused to condemn the IRA after he clearly condemned them several times.

True, but they'll not let it go. Up to deflect the death ray back on them by showing how fatuous it all is.

For all the usual reasons, I suppose.

I've always had a lot of respect for you, Pete, but you've gone down massively in my estimation there.
