It's OK, Limeys. Lizzie had things covered if Mags got a little too button-happy during a phone sex session with Reagan.

Re: Thatcher dead.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

They print that like it's some kind of gotcha or something. Just one more reason to warm to the fella.

Re: Thatcher dead.
Insanely based Corbyn, yet again

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Re: Thatcher dead.
For all i think he made mistakes and was weak as a leader, the sheer energy that has gone in to destroying Corbyn is truly spectacular. I don't know if you can call it an achievement exactly, but he definitely had them rattled for a while, forced them to really up their game to take him down.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Sep 2022, 10:47amThat was my impression.

Re: Thatcher dead.
Corbyn's biggest failure was not acting quick enough to stop the anti-semitism that had crept into the Labour party. That was a massive error of judgement.

Can't post pics from my phone for some reason but this is where i would insert the backdrop from the ongoing Labour conference this week that folk have been comparing to Ukip from about a decade ago.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Sep 2022, 10:58amScooby-Doo style, he unmasked Labour insiders for the institutional liberals they actually are.Low Down Low wrote: ↑26 Sep 2022, 10:54amFor all i think he made mistakes and was weak as a leader, the sheer energy that has gone in to destroying Corbyn is truly spectacular.

Re: Thatcher dead.
I thought the Labour Files doc on Al Jazeera over the weekend made for some very interesting but uncomfortable viewing. I think Corbyn made mistakes for sure, but when he states it was exaggerated for factional issues, it seems hard to disagree. The Gen Sec of the party, hostile to Corbyn, actually stated that himself early on.Marky Dread wrote: ↑26 Sep 2022, 11:14amCorbyn's biggest failure was not acting quick enough to stop the anti-semitism that had crept into the Labour party.

Re: Thatcher dead.
Sure Corbyn was in for a rough ride. And just how much anti-semitism had occurred isn't the issue. There should be no anti-semitism period. Jewish Labour supporters were unhappy and he had a chance to act and chose not to which was very disappointing.Low Down Low wrote: ↑26 Sep 2022, 11:36amI thought the Labour Files doc on Al Jazeera over the weekend made for some very interesting but uncomfortable viewing.
