This article makes some outrageous claims, without any evidence. The statement that "Until now, he has been a committed unilateralist, calling for the West to abandon all nuclear weapons" is particularly silly: it's Britain (not the entire West) where unilateralists want all nuclear weapons abandoned.
I suggest reading his Wikipedia entry for a more accurate summary of his position: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Corbyn Posted by Aidan, Friday, 18 September 2015 11:13:20 AM

The English-speaking EU is unravelling under financial and migration crises. UK claimed France for 470 years and celebrates Waterloo like no other battle. Rome had to defeat Carthage and France needs to be deterred from pre-emptive glory and honour when London burns

This UK Corbyn bloke “has long been a vocal supporter of Hamas and the IRA.” AND whats worse he opposes the UK building four new Trident/nuclear warhead ballistic missile submarines (SSBN).
I bet he claims to believe in Peace to! Pathetic.
Corbyn needs to realise that politics is the art of the possible, of compromise and especially Staying in Power. Ideological purity is a luxury for idiots.
