Yes, I think that the fact that Blair seemed to line his pocket with lectures etc did not sit well with political allies and opponents alike - he certainly gave his opponents ammunition to hit him with cries of hypocrisy. But there is something to be said for the idea of consensus politics, and...

Yes, I would certainly agree with your first point -I am sure that they saw him as being too wishy-washy for their socialist liking.

Yes, I would too - the hospitality price is very expensive. We thoroughly enjoyed the one-off occasion to sample it, but due to price, it will remain a one-off, I regret. Pity -the club might make extra dosh through a no frills service, which presumably would be the case at 15 to 25 pounds.

Champagne socialists perhaps? Yes, I do see that there is a difference; Tony Blair's version would presumably be different to that of Corbyn.

OK, thanks.

Yes, Ok -communism is an extreme form of socialism but a form nonetheless - would that wording suit you? A question you may well be able to answer -what sort of socialism is advocated by die linke Partei - is it just very left of the SPD, or are they hankering after the 'good old days" of the DDR?

Yes, thanks for that. The club has evolved so much these last few years, so I too wonder what the future holds in this regard. If the club can generate more cash, and the punters are happy to pay, then great. Whilst I don't disagree with you at all, I just hope that the drive for corporate...

Thanks goodness for that. You obviously don't know that communism is pure socialism, and so it doesn't prove what you said in the slightest. I have prided myself on only ever insulting one person on NSC, and then immediately regretted it, and it wasn't you. you are confusing a riposte with an...

I suggest you read it all again -not for the first time you claim that others are not making any sense -probably because you didn't go to grammar school . . I said that champagne socialists are happy to go to corporate events, and qualified it by saying that they should of course go to such...

Are you living on the moon? You've obviously never read criticisms of private education, banking, prawn sandwich brigade, grammar schools, and so much more. And you have never heard of the few and many, so often casually trotted out.

Of course you don't - it is open to anyone, as it should be. Just that socialists who use it have this rather annoying habit of hypocritically criticising folk who spending their wealth in other areas.
