"i'll take it you never voted for him then, Jim? "
I can't vote from Ireland but I'd have thought twice before I voted for someone already in the House of Lords without having to get there by selling those who voted for him out (before anybody asks, Benn was born with that particular milestone around his neck and given that, he bore his brden quite well for someone with a built-in deformity)
Corby attracted Socialists back into their traditional and rightful home-place by impressing them with his socialist principle - he put them above his political ambitions and his party's lemming-like tendency to play the Westminster game
I admired Blair as a young man - look what a shit-hole he made of the Labour Party
This Pandemic is going to have to change people's thinking if the British People are going to cme out even where they started, never mind improve their lives      
Already the quick-fix vultures are circling and it hasn't reached its peak yet
The Tories used to have principles of sorts - The Brexit Blunder shod that the door
Now we have an unprincipled, uncaring moron surrounded by a bunch of unelected bullies at the helm
Logic says that in the short term a Government coalition is inevitable - if that coalition is formed by a bunch of Parliamentarians seeking to return things to where they were - what a waste
When Starmer kicked off by accusing his party of being riddled with Jew-haters - that confirmed all my misgivings I didn't have to have been ay Belshazzar's feast to see the writing on the wall
Sorry 'bout that
Jim
