OT Why has the Labour party sold its soul?

You got me mixed up with someone else mate. I was just stating a fact.

Jeremy Corbyn was arrested in 1986 taking part in a protest by IRA sympathisers to “show solidarity” with accused terrorists including the Brighton bomber, a Sunday Times investigation reveals.

Corbyn joined a picket outside the Old Bailey to oppose the “show trial” of a group including Patrick Magee, who was subsequently convicted of murdering five people at the 1984 Tory party conference.

Magee was also convicted with the other defendants of planning a massive bombing campaign in London and seaside resorts.

Plus......

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn's links to a pro-IRA group were examined by police in the 1980s and early 1990s, it has emerged.

Mr Corbyn came to the attention of police after becoming involved with Red Action, an ultra-left group that expressed its "unconditional and uncritical support" for the IRA and included members of an IRA bombing team.

Patrick Hayes, a Red Action leader, and another member, Jan Taylor, were convicted of an IRA bombing campaign in England and sentenced to 30 years in jail.

Northern Ireland MP caught up in Jeremy Corbyn terror wreath-laying row. A third member, Liam Heffernan, was convicted of stealing explosives for another republican terrorist organisation, the INLA, and sentenced to 23 years.

Mr Corbyn spoke at at least three Red Action meetings between 1985 and 1992 and the group sometimes met at his then-constituency office.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, a senior police officer from the period revealed there was serious concern at the time that Mr Corbyn's links, including hosting IRA and Sinn Fein figures at the House of Commons, had allowed the IRA to become familiar with the layout and security of the building.

"He knew they (Red Action) were open supporters of terrorism and he supported them," he said. "We had no evidence that he knew they were actively involved in terrorism themselves."

Seeing as you have uncritically copy/pasted a pro Boris /anti Corbyn writer (Gilligan) in the 2nd part of your post here, taking his views as facts, maybe you'd like to examine the counter argument to these 'facts':

As the writer said, he's not defending Corbyn but attacking Gilligan's use of half truths, distortions and un researched assumptions to hurl more mud at Corbyn knowing full well that much of this will stick.

PMSL. So your argument is a post that does not disclaim anything in the article I posted but states the writers opinion of what he thinks the writer of the article I posted meant when he wrote it!

I give in mate I rely do,
