Lots of New Labour Mps could qualify as Tory 'wets' Especially nowadays as the wets have held the reins of the leadership of the Tory party since Thatcher resigned.

The grass roots are less wet.....well, if you exclude the blue rinsers anyway.

Corbyn claims that his links with Sinn Fein / IRA back in the 1980's was about building bridges and that he helped with the peace process. However if this was true then why was he ignored by Tory, Labour and also Sinn Fein when the peace discussions started. I would have thought that a British politician trusted by both sides would have been invaluable. I believe it was actually Mo Mowlem who played that role.

I feel that Corbyn was just mischief making and Sinn Fein were happy to go along with it whilst there was no prospect for peace. Once the discussions started they ignored him as he was no longer useful.

In a similar way Gerry Adams is also now playing that game.

You have kind of ignored his points. Others weren't ignored like John Hume.

Im only in my 30s so I missed a lot of the history, but wasnt getting the IRA to stop bombing and bringing about peace in Northern Ireland a good thing?

As the stepson of someone in the military, I was brought up in the days of having to check your vehicles for bombs so I consider not having to worry about the IRA a good thing and am very grateful to anyone who helped make that happen. Sounds like people of Northern Ireland agree to me...

I have no problem with a peace deal I just feel that Corbyn was irrelevant to that process however earnest his views. My real issue with the deal was the one sided pardons for the terrorists. I guess that letting them out was inevitable but Blair should have insisted on the same for the security forces.

We should have had a truth and reconciliation commission. If someone, terrorist or soldier told the truth about who they killed they would be absolved. It is stupid that the authorities are still going after troops and the occasional terrorist. We have to draw a line however painful it is for the victims.

You are your own type of British.

Your logic on Corbyn doesn't make sense. He very publicly got involved. I remember it being reported on and he made public statements that are easy to find.

The fact that he wasn't involved in the peace process is that the British wouldn't countenance the traitorous idiot.

The fact that you regard these matters as unimportant says it all.
