History has to repeat itself, nobody s listening:

Now let me see, Michael Foot sincere and principled (& left-handed?) yet never won a (national) election. Followed by a genial, lovable Neil Kinnock, who was a good foil for Thatcher yet didn't win an election (yea yea the SDP et al but that was a reaction (or kick?) to Foot)

Now we have Corbyn, sincere and principled (aka Left Bank) and defections, and who is the most likely replacement?

What is needed is a forceful character as a foil for the bumbling mop-haired, philandering puppet, because we certainly have self-imposed troubled times ahead, paralleled by Thatchers policies.

OK, this time we have COVID-19 and the floods and fire (Saddleworth Moor?) to remind us of the the lesson history could teach us.
Nero and fiddling while Rome burns. Yea yea he was a lyre.
But his story does have twists, you have to learn from history not twat on with Priti childish irrelevances - YA BOO SUCKS, wot floods ?
