Sinn Fein staffer with IRA links to join Jeremy Corbyn's team

You said Jayne has "close links with terrorists". Sort of a guilt  by a association thing, wouldn't you say? I'm not the only one who has commented on this in this topic. I don't really see why I should be scared of the woman.

She does have close links with Irish terrorists and that is an absolute fact. I am not saying you should be scared of her or anything like that but you cannot dispute the evidence. She is not guilty of any crime by associating with these people nor did I claim she was.

People in the past have had legitimate grievances. Maybe today things are fine, but Britain has bullied the Irish a lot over the years. I fail to see how the Labour Party isn't respecting the wishes of the Northern Irish people. Sinn Fein are democratically elected by people in Northern Ireland and we do live in a democracy last I checked.

Sinn Fein are absolutely democratically elected and currently share power with the Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland, but it is quite clear that the majority wish to remain part of the UK and Sinn Fein's anti-British rhetoric of a "United" Ireland isn't exactly helping anything.

History can very easily repeat itself and I very much doubt that either side of the divide wants that to happen again.
