The question is the same as I had with Kerr - can you support a cause when some who also support that cause use violence to further that cause? I think you can, and that supporting that cause does not mean condoning the violence used to support the cause.
Because Corbyn supported the cause of the IRA for 20 years, opposing the measures (and atrocities carried out on Irish civilians), he will have also met some people in that time who were either at the time, or exposed later involved with IRA violence. But without a doubt, Corbyn supported and preached an end to violence both from the IRA and the British State throughout.
So I'm not sure what you're hoping to gain by posting lots or articles linking Corbyn with IRA people. I'm just interested in why you unquestionably copy/posted the article linking him with a specific group, Red Action, at vague times that Gilligan himself can't even specify, that has been well pulled apart by the source I linked to. That's all.
