He may have sought dialogue with Adams, but where, exactly, did he deem him 'fine and upstanding'? I don't recall that, so maybe you can enlighten us all. No more treacherous than you.
Ar the honest and truthful beeb....Jezza and Gezza... Ireland’s Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said that, according to the evidence he has seen, Adams was not only an IRA member, but sat on its army council. Corbyn was later arrested while on a pro-IRA protest at the trial of the bomber who had killed five people and injured a further 31. The Labour leader was “happy to commemorate all those who died fighting for an independent Ireland” at an event organised by Republican leaders in London’s Conway Hall during the 1987 general election. Corbyn has shamelessly lied that it was a meeting intended to honour victims on both sides. It wasn’t – it was to commemorate the Provos who had attempted to blow up a police station before being killed by the British Army. This meeting was held just months before an IRA bomb killed 11 people as they gathered around the cenotaph on Remembrance Day in Enniskillen. Still, he did not renounce his support. Even Labour sympathisers found it hard to stomach Corbyn’s infatuation with the IRA. A 1996 editorial in the left-leaning Guardian, of all places, denounces his “romantic support for Irish Republicans” and states unequivocally: “Mr Corbyn's actions do not advance the cause of peace in Northern Ireland and are not seriously intended to do so”. People weren’t fooled at the time, in the same year that the provisional IRA – for which Corbyn was still making excuses – set off a bomb in Canary Wharf that killed two people, injured over 100, and caused £150m worth of damage. Corbyn is now attempting to rewrite history and portray himself as an integral part of the peace process, saying that his role was “supporting a process which would bring about a dialogue”. How strange then, that Corbyn opposed the Anglo-Irish agreement and lobbied the government on behalf of IRA prisoners. Stranger still, why did neither Corbyn nor McDonnell ever engage with the opposing side to their ideological kindred spirits in the IRA? For the truth, we need to listen to the real architects of the peace process who insist that these men had nothing at all to do with it. Former deputy first minister of Northern Ireland, Seamus Mallon, said “I never heard anyone mention Corbyn at all. He very clearly took the side of the IRA and that was incompatible, in my opinion, with working for peace.” Sean O’Callaghan, an ex-IRA terrorist, said Corbyn “played no part ever, at any time, in promoting peace in Northern Ireland”, and any suggestion otherwise is “a cowardly, self-serving lie”. Cowardly and self-serving: fitting words for Jeremy Corbyn, who has exposed himself as an unscrupulous liar with a warped moral compass. City A.M.'s opinion pages are a place for thought-provoking views and debate. These views are not necessarily shared by City A.M.
Could Jeremy Corbyn be the returning Jesus Christ? OK ignore the beard for a minute And the fact that they both have the same initials What got me thinking is that Corbyn said that he would never press that button No British politician of any colour has ever said that before I can imagine Jesus saying that And there are other parallels as well Jesus told everyone to pay their taxes Jeremy wants to stop tax evasion Jesus healed the sick Jeremy wants more money for the NHS Jesus spent his life teaching Jeremy wants more state schools for all Jesus fed the 5000 Jeremy wants to end poverty Jesus was seen as a trouble maker by the authorities of the day Jeremy has revolted against his party more times than any other MP Jesus was adored by his disciples And he did say that he would be coming back Could Jeremy be the returning messiah?
