Corbyn a man of principle , lover of the IRA .

I believe he had talks with the IRA.
Sensible.
Before the relative "armistice" of the present it was due to talking rather than "up and at them".

But a heroine of yours "Maggie" in spite of what she was stating at the time was attempting the same.
Use this as a starter!

Margaret Thatcher 'negotiated with IRA'
30 December 2011
From the section Northern Ireland
Margaret Thatcher
Mr Taylor said the files show Margaret Thatcher was involved in negotiations with the IRA
Files just released by the National Archives show Margaret Thatcher took part in negotiations with the IRA during the 1981 Hunger Strikes, BBC investigative journalist Peter Taylor has said.
The contacts took place through an MI6 officer and a secret back-channel to the IRA code-named Soon.
Soon was Londonderry businessman Brendan Duddy.
Mr Taylor said Mrs Thatcher altered by hand one statement sent to the IRA.
"When I read these documents I was astonished," he said.

If you had watched the development of the "IRA" war from the 1950s on, and the "reasons" being used as "excuses" for "violence" on both sides you may have hope or even advocated "talks".
