    Brexit, for once some facts.

    . No. On medical grounds they've done well, but on fiscal grounds they've been a disaster, doing immense damage to our future. As many others have shown with no more or even lower death rates than us, that was completely unnecessary and incredibly foolish. .

    Of course, they don't strike fear in anybody, safe ground, All things costing lots of money, so striking fear in those who don't need most of them but would have to pay for them, i.e. the majority conservative people: Transport? They already have cars. Housing? They already have a home...

    Impossible to be otherwise with Liberté, égalité, fraternité for all. Our British Army is required to be non political and run solely by an unquestioned pyramid of power. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It's an impossible mountain, for anyone. There's two options to try it. First is to try to recreate it, but still as a true socialist labour party. That won't work since English people's predominantly conservative nature will keep it from power without Scotland. And I don't see Scotland ever...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Of course. False cold wars have to made to look real to achieve their intended purpose of giving each side a common enemy to fear. Thus needing their government to protect them which in turn prompts the people's nationalistic co-operation. The Pandemic works too for a while, Covid-19 the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Since the Yalta conference there has never been the slightest risk of Russians marching across Europe. The Cold War was always a sham conducted by expendable proxys and eventually became so obviously a sham that it had to be abandoned before ridicule set in. Now we are in cold war 2 with...

    I would have thought the same, given his background. The truth is that he's probably the same as Blair, both wealthy barristers taking on a degree of left wing mantle for expediency. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not really, Momentum and the Unions are in left wing agreement, plus Starmer claimed to be left wing and supporting Corbyn's policies. So it's three lefts and one right, making marching in step very difficult. The answer is obviously to chuck out the Blairites, as moderate right wingers they...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Very true. To understand who we are now requires looking at where the modern "we" came from. From 1950 on as our former Empire disappeared we went into sharp decline, reaching bankruptcy by the early 1970s. Joining the EEC and the IMF taking over the management of our economy rescued us from...

    If the need arises more urgently, I think we will see a replacement appear. Just look at how strong the Greens have become in Germany now where they could soon hold the balance of power. They are real force in a few other countries now as the climate emergency becomes ever more real to the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    My Agree shows I dislike it as much as you, but it's not wrong for the trade union party that Labour is. It would be very wrong if the unions didn't have that influence. For those who don't like a trade union party, the answer is very simple, vote for another party, there's plenty of them...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Actually Len McCluskey was interviewed by Nick Robinson for half an hour on Saturday at 5.30 pm and he made a lot sense too, from Labour's and the trade union's point of view. It's not what I stand for, but it was a fascinating listen. Sadly the Beeb won't make it available on the i-player at...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A Conservative is someone who believes in the tenets of the Conservative Party. That's not necessarily (that phrase you don't understand again) anything to do with voting, since a Conservative is still a Conservative even if they don't bother to vote. Many people vote for the Conservatives...
