Ok, I will bite. Did McDonnell say this? Yes or no? What context makes it acceptable?

In 2003, at a gathering in London to commemorate the IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands, he said IRA terrorists should be “honoured”:

“It's about time we started honouring those people involved in the armed struggle. It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table. The peace we have now is due to the action of the IRA.

Or in other words it's trying to justify what he said.

Of course the author of that piece is neutral in his views....you can fit most things into the context that suits either side you want to.

In stead of dismissing the sources, feel free to to counter any of the facts as stated

if it was not for the center and left wing of the labour party there would never had been any form of peace process for years they were in negotiations with the i.r.a which was what lead to the peace process,the fact that the same very misleading story is more than one publication shows a massive bias ,

Erm....sorry I thought John Major was instrumental in the start of the process.

Blair talked to the IRA the conservatives would not until they ceased violence.

Fundamental to the IRA was that the conservatives are the conservative and unionist party.

Just be glad its over.

Do you think we would have had the Anglo Irish agreement were it not for the troubles before?

Not justify what he said but counter the bulls*** and half truths that you seem happy to continue perpetuating.

Yes blair gave all the the terrorist letters saying you will not be charged,you are no longer terrorist.
Including the guy that was responsible for the Hyde Park bombings.
And relatives of some of the dead have been trying to bring a private prosecution against him...but guess what have been refused legal aid time and time again..

No I'm happy to look at things in a wider context to try and see through the bulls***.
80% of the media owned by 4 or so people are anti Corbyn, so forgive me if I take what they say with a large pinch of salt until I find out more.

80% of the Labour Party are also anti Corbyn. He's an un-electable fool Nick.

It was a pact with the devil. Horrible but necessary. One of the most vicious of the Shankhill Butchers quite happily walks around and frequents the streets where he abducted, tortured, and slashed the throats of innocents. He was let out under the Agreement too. It has worked tbf.

I quite happily include the protestants in that as well kermits...they are all c***s,and should still be rotting in jail.

So that's probably why those relatives have been refused legal aid so many times.
I think it's the sum of £65/70k they need.

You reinforce my point Nick, even with a huge party membership base Corbyn will still never be elected.
