Your next PM. "Throughout the Eighties and Nineties, Corbyn and McDonnell were the IRA's most vigorous allies in Westminster, attending the annual gathering of the Wolfe Tone Society, an organisation which honours dead IRA members and imprisoned volunteers. The event's 1986 programme declared: 'Force of arms is the only method capable of bringing about a free and united socialist Ireland.' IRA man Patrick Magee was in 1986 convicted at the Old Bailey of murdering five people in the Brighton bombing. Corbyn was arrested for staging a protest outside against the strip-searching of the killer's co-defendants." "At an Irish Republican event in 1987, Corbyn took part in a minute's silence to commemorate eight IRA men shot dead by the SAS as they travelled to attack a police station in County Armagh. 'I'm happy to commemorate all those who died fighting for an independent Ireland,' he said. Corbyn appointed as research assistant, Ronan Bennett, a suspected IRA man who'd served 13 months in prison for fatally shooting a policeman in the chest (his conviction was overturned on appeal). Unsurprisingly, Bennett was banned from the Commons — a decision described by Corbyn as 'a disgraceful attack and character assassination of an innocent man'."
During the 2015 Labour leadership election, Corbyn was repeatedly asked whether he condemned murders by the IRA but refused to answer, saying only: 'I condemn what was done by the British Army as well as the other sides.' "Last month, on a Sunday morning TV interview, Corbyn was asked five times to 'unequivocally condemn' the IRA. Five times he declined." The other one. Diane Abbott endorsed the IRA in an interview with pro-Republican journal Labour And Ireland in 1984, saying: 'Every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.' Challenged last week, she said she no longer had the same views, 33 years on. After the Brighton Bomb, in which the IRA murdered five people, London Labour Briefing published a reader's letter stating: 'What do you call four dead Tories? A start!' Next to a picture of Lord Tebbit, who was seriously hurt (and whose wife would be wheelchair-bound for life) it added: 'Try riding your bike now, Norman!' Weeks after the Brighton attack, Corbyn invited two IRA terrorists to the Commons for a PR stunt where they 'protested about strip-searches in Northern Ireland's prisons'.
"Less than a month after becoming an MP in 1983, Corbyn 'organised a Commons visit and meeting' for Gerry Adams. Gerry Adams spoke in Corbyn's constituency in 1987, asking the Labour Party to formally endorse his cause. His remarks were 'given a standing ovation' by Corbyn. A few weeks after the IRA's 1996 bombing of Manchester which caused massive devastation, Corbyn agreed to host the launch of Adams's autobiography in the Commons. The book included an account (allegedly fictional) of killing a British soldier, plus a passage in which Adams declared: 'It might, or might not, be right to kill, but sometimes it is necessary.' The event was cancelled after the then Labour leader Tony Blair threatened to kick Corbyn out of the Labour Party."
During a 1988 ceremony to commemorate the death of the IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands, Corbyn criticised the Anglo-Irish Agreement, precursor to the Peace Process, declaring: 'It strengthens rather than weakens the border… and those of us who wish to see a united Ireland oppose the agreement for that reason.' John McDonnell attempted to derail pre-Good Friday Agreement negotiations for a new power-sharing assembly in the late Nineties, telling the IRA's official newspaper, An Phoblacht: 'An assembly is not what people have laid down their lives for over 30 years.' Corbyn has opposed at least 13 Prevention of Terrorism bills. In Socialist Campaign Group News, he has said he regularly hosts meetings by 'international solidarity groups' at which 'many express sympathy for armed insurrection'. Corbyn asked: 'Are they, or those attending, to be criminalised?' Months before 9/11, Diane Abbott voted against a bill to proscribe al-Qaeda as a terrorist organisation. This was one of 30 occasions when she opposed anti-terror legislation. Last month, she refused to apologise, saying the bill would have wrongly banned a number of 'dissident' groups, too. In 2009, Corbyn called for Hamas to be taken off the terror list, telling Al Jazeera: 'Contacts with Hamas by politicians are increasing day after day. All want to find a peaceful solution to the problem.' Following the terror attacks in Paris in 2015, Corbyn said he opposed police being allowed to shoot terror suspects, saying he's 'not happy with the shoot-to-kill policy in general'.

Didn't expect the bile tank pumped; hit the wrong button there. All we added was how you do identify them? Not anything else, simply how do you identify them? In spite of all those words, still no answer and Google still can't think!
