That nice, cuddly, senior man Jeremy Corbyn, isn't.
The Belfast Telegraph https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/corbyns-links-to-proira-group-were-investigated-by-the-police-37230971.html reports:
'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.
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.'
What a ****. Don't expect the Labour Party's propaganda arm, the BBC to report this.
