In the debate about Jeremy Corbyn and his association with
the IRA there are two false narratives going on. The first is that perpetuated by Corbyn that
during The Troubles he was merely some sort of peace envoy, which seems hard to
believe due to him virtually ignoring those who support a united Ireland by
peaceful means alone, namely the SDLP.
The second is perpetuated by Conservative commentators who condemn his
IRA links the most. They wax lyrical
about the IRA being evil and yet skirt over the Unionist dominated apartheid
state that Northern Ireland once was.
The conditions of this state helped revive the IRA from being a dying
movement.
