Nope. Mr Corbyn in the 80's along with McDonnell were considered nut jobs. Galloway type nutters.
You can try and rewrite history all you want but the fact is they were pro IRA, openly supported violent a finite against the British government and its only as they find themselves where they are that they are attempting to change what they once were. They didn't want peace they wanted war and agreed with the approach of the IRA
McDonnell was appalled at the peace process
Considered nut jobs & strongly portrayed as such by Tory media who's slurs, mistruths & speculation you seem unable to get enough of!
Your next paragraph is just utter bollox lifted from such Tory media machines.
Many people on the British side were appalled at aspects of the peace process. Especially letting known murderers off the hook. Now I don't know which specific bits McDonnell was appalled about...but of hazarded a guess!
I'm sure you will now dig up some shit pile of speculation from the Daily Mail or Express...but don't bother expecting a further response from me on it.
