One of the many apparent issues with terrorism was/is Corbyn's opposition to numerous pieces of new legislation designed to combat and/or investigate terrorism more readily.
That, coupled with numerous public proclomations about his apparent support for terrorist groups; e.g.:
At the height of the Irish Troubles, Corbyn, who was at that time a hard-Left backbencher and a thorn in the side of successive leaders, spoke at commemorations to honour dead IRA terrorists.In 1968 he was arrested after taking part in a protest by IRA sympathisers in demonstrating "solidarity" with, among others, Patrick Magee, who was later convicted of murdering five people in the 1984 Brighton bombing. They included the Conservative MP Sir Anthony Berry.He appears, at least on the face of it, to support groups such as the IRA much more than he condemns them, hence the 'terrorist sympathiser' tag. |
