That's unfair.

I stand by my post. I have elaborated on my views above. This is a politics thread. If you baseline position is that politics is irrelevant and society changes all by itself no matter what politicians do, fine, but this really isn't a thread for you, then, is it? You have made your point...

My journey was pretty much in the opposite direction. uninmpressed by 1960s and 70s trade unions poking their nose into the running of the country and spending members' money to be 'in solidarity' of a load of sexist racist gauchos in some faraway place like Chile or El Salvador; not too...

Not sure why I indulged you for so long. You're an idiot. Now on ignore. Tara.

But.....you implied Saddam's weapons weren't dangerous at all. Make up your mind, why don't you? ??? :shrug:

Chemical weapons are spontaneously biodegraded during storage and essentially recyclable, then? Ha ha! You are the King of Comedy. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0039914018303680 All opinions are unbiased. That's why they are called opinions, rather than facts. You seem to...

This. And hence compromise with the electorate. It is what people do when they have realised that boring people to death or actually killing anyone who doesn't agree with you might not be the best route to making positive change.

So you don't believe the nature of a government has any effect on a society? That's a bit extreme, isn't it? My comments were a rebuke to people who think TB did change society - but making it horribly non-socialist, poorer, shittier and worse than any other PM ever. As part of my narrative I...

We have Boris incoming, and May outgoing, and no sign of any stirring among the opposition, and some complete chumps are still fulminating about Blair not being sifficiently left wing and pure for them? Crikey....whoever said we get the governments we deserve was right. Collectively I think we...

OK. I am not politically active in that I don't go on marches and that. But I do vote. I am in favour of the ballot box. I have always favoured Labour. So I prefer a labour government. I remember the Militant years, though. That kept Maggie in power for a long time. I fear that Corbyn and his...

As a matter of interest, which of our current parties would you like to see running the country? If you're not happy with the current leader of your preferred party, who would you prefer to be leader and running the country? The reason I ask is I assume from your Tony baiting and rejection of...

I think you'll find the answer is 'no compromise with the electorate', and no sensible reply to unpalatable statements of the bleeding obvious by the likes of you or I. Shame really. These momentum clowns are quite happy to have labour unelectable, so long as they can sneer down their tiny...

Grow up. You insinuate I'm a tory because I think Corbyn is a ****? Welcome to a lifetime in opposition, pal. Personally I'd rather have a labour government, but viva socialist purity and doctrinem eh? :wanker:

(Takes out small onion) Ah yes, the left behind. It was so much better in the 60s and 70s. Every rosy cheeked child had an apple a day, and every man worked a solid 37 and a half hour week in dignity, while every working class kiddy went off to university (mostly Oxbridge) and then on to a...

And another thing. How many times has Corbyn voted against labour? Against labour party policy in the commons? The answer is a record number of times for a labour MP. To chuck anyone out, whether they be Campbell, Kier Starmer, Kier Hardy or Ken Leninspart for one tactical vote is pathetic...

Give it a rest. TB cocked this up but there was no need to exaggerate the evidence - the gulf war was just and justified. What would have been immoral would have been to allow Saddam to contunue taking the piss, to continue paying Blix for shrugging his shoulders as he had done for years, and...

Utter tripe. You're deluded. Your version of labour will never win anything. No compromise with the electorate? Campbell and TB realised that you have to compromise. Perpetual opposition simply allows the tory clowns to perpetuate a hegemony. Anyway, I doubt Campbell gives much of a stuff...

This. Campbell was the architect of something that will never happen again in my lifetime - 3 consecutive labour general election victories. Corbyn is an ********, and Labour are now finished. When did it become a throwing out offence to advocate tactical voting? If more labour voters had...
