Absolutely 'this' to this bit.

This is certainly true. As I said previously, if he can pull off this balancing act it will be a minor political miracle and mean that he has become a very skilled leader. I just can't see it happening though.

Just in case anyone lumps me in with the 'those like you', I have to take issue with HT on this point. Though it is undoubtedly true that to make progress to end violence you have to engage with some very bad people and involve them to some extent in the political process, his choice of words in...

What is this 'Eastenders' you speak of?

Back at ya :)

I preferred your original post mate, made me chuckle.

PMQs was refreshing I thought. If this new style of debate in the House lasts then all good (not necessarily the public questions, that would become stale, but I don't believe for a minute JC is that naïve, good opening idea though to set a new tone). Credit where it's due, I though DC played it...

These are very important points, and ones often deliberately overlooked by those who would have anyone who expresses reservations about Free Market Capitalism labelled as 'Commies' or the like. The above were born and flourished under a broadly Keynsian economic system - cooperation between the...

I agree to an extent, but I think real change is perhaps more possible than that. It is true that with a stable and relatively strong economy, combined with the British 'reserve' character, the Conservatives have far more room to get away with increasing wealth at the top whilst placing more and...

I may have slipped into mild hyperbole with 'huge' and 'swathe' as it depends on your definitions, so replace with 'significantly large and growing section...' please.

If you're asking whether Corbyn is the 'answer' for this country then it very much depends on what the actual question is. One thing that I don't think can be disputed is that his election, and the groundswell of support for a Socialist alternative surrounding it, especially from young people...
