68 Answers
Let's be clear - the quotes now doing the rounds are from a news report TWO YEARS AGO which was SLAMMED AS INACCURATE by the BBC Trust.
The Tory spin doctors have shamefully used a terrorist attack for electoral advantage, by promoting the video through underhand 'social media' tactics.
This is the condemnation from the BBC Trust of the BBC's own lamentable journalism :

Last night Jeremy Corbyn ACTUALLY said :
"Police must have “full authority” to use “whatever force is necessary to protect and save life.”

TTT - it's not hard evidence, but when The Sun, The Mail and The Telegraph all major on the same two year old story it's not rocket science to work out that they've been fed a line by someone - if any one of them had found it themselves they'd have hugged it to themselves as a scoop. If it quacks like a duck ...
Two terrorist attacks (so far) during the General Election campaign.
After the first terrorist attack, Corbyn's shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott compared her IRA views to her changing hairstyle:

A truly jaw-dropping article, especially given that was in The Guardian.
After the second terrorist attack, Jeremy Corbyn - the man who chose Diane Abbott as his shadow Home Secretary - had the gall to focus on Theresa May's record as Home Secretary. most of which was in coalition. This article lays out Corbyn's historic links with the IRA:

Corbyn's Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell, has only since being awarded that position apologised for saying in 2003 - i.e. two years after 9/11 - “It was the bombs and bullets and sacrifice made by the likes of Bobby Sands that brought Britain to the negotiating table.”
That's not to mention Corbyn's links with the PLO:

Corbyn, McDonnell, Abbott - these are the three people at the heart of Labour's proposed Cabinet, at a time when terrorism is front and centre of what's going on in the country. And yet they are not being challenged.
Even if we take all their protestations as genuine, you have to ask yourself: why did they go so far out of their way to support the IRA and PLO; exactly where were their heads at when, at the height of the troubles, they said things like Ireland “is our struggle – every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.”; and, most importantly, can we seriously consider placing these people into power?
