Wiki :

He was Foreign Secretary in 1982 when Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands. Although not immediately responsible, he nevertheless took full responsibility for the complacency of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and its failures to foresee this development and, on 5 April, resigned.

Despite not sharing his politics, my mum considered him a good and honorable man. I think she was right. RIP.

To be fair, Corbyn served fantastically and patriotically in the cold war.

The soviets might even give him a medal.
