Sorry, when was the last active IRA involvement?

He was actively involved in the peace process nearly 20 years ago. Pretty sure Blair asked him to assist in getting parties to the table. This peace has lasted too. What are you? A BBC journalist? If you don't say x words, you're complicit. Such tabloid BS.

That's just not true, he did he just included all groups and refused to single them out, which is quite right imo.

Yeah, they were terrorists but they didn't come to exist in a vacuum and our government was also responsible for some decidedly shady shit.

In my estimation the IRA were worse, but this is still one of those emotive topics that can be exploited by the media to paint it to suit their agenda, and as we know their agenda is to protect capital. People always lose their shit about the IRA, and I understand, I've been alive long enough to remember the troubles but it does in fact take 2 to tango.

Indeed.

I'm not even making a judgement on Corbyn here. People can love him or hate him, either way it doesn't change the fact that by splintering support, under our voting system, you only strengthen the opposing side.

It's like... one of the headline problems with FPTP as a system.

At the very least, Sultana and Corbyn could've joined or allied with an existing party they align with, the Greens. Seriously look at Corbyn's recent remarks and his open letter, and Sultana's too.

There's basically no distinction between them and the Greens, yet they're choosing to battle against them in each constituency? It's just electoral self-harm.
