Its not either rampant capatilism like the US or Communism like the Soviet Union - there is a big inbetween where things are run fairly - look at Germany, far more successful than us but operating with workers on the board - not locked out.

Corbyn has gone. I am a member of the Labour party and didn't like Corbyn so that is very much a minority section of the movement.

Look at East Coast Rail - lost money to its private owners whilst still paying dividends to its rich shareholders and running a shocking service. Put under national control, made money and improved the service only for the Tories to sell it cheaply off to more of its mates. To me they are...

The winter of discontent? I know the Tories live in the past (usually feudal England) but you are talking about a time when the only homebrew you could make was from cans in Boots the chemist! Tony Blair was one of the most successful politicians this country has ever seen and unlike Thatcher...

Muhammed Ali asked me for a fight I chatted with Paul Raymond I refused to hold a ticket for Mrs Robinson and it turned out she was Barbara Straisand Gordon Brown once sat in my airplane seat and I had to ask him to move - he is a massive bloke. I once upset Les dawson I have been to a party...

Thanks, I will add your recommendations to my itenary. I am hoping to pick up some Irish Craft ales whilst there..whatever craft ales mean :cool:

I am.. :-)

I hate Boris too but it doesn't do any good! My Grandmothers (and Mother's) people come from just north of Dungarvan so we will go there and then go across to Kerry (Portmagee area) where my Grandfathers family came from. We will also visit Dublin as I have friends there.

Context. The short name for Pakistan has been an insult for decades and my friend who comes from Pakistan hates it and pronounces the country Parkistan. Aussi on the other hand is how they descibe themselves as in Ossie, Ossie Ossie Oi Oi Oi How to speak Australian : Abbreviate Everything - YouTube

Yep, Boris is untouchable at the moment even if the much vaulted fish industry (which we were happy to sacrifice our car industry and Finance sector for) has been well and truely stuffed by Brexit. We shall see how long he lasts in the north when A) The Magic benefits fail to appear and B) all...

I can asure you that if I am told to ignore someone I will almost certainly do the opposite :cool:

You seem to be conflating too different parts of the message. Yes he told me he was Australian and that appears to be factual - I don't think we are in disagreement in regards to this - that was helpful to me on how I would/will respond to him/her infuture as I don't need to argue about whether...

I will leave this now with two thoughts 1) Discussing the problems of driving withsome who doesn't drive may be interesting but won't help me resolve the issue I am having with driving and 2) In regards to the word Aussie - I will fall off my chair if I ever heard of an Australian who found it...

I refer you to my answer to Chippy in regards to opinions. On Nicknames - let the Australian fellow tell us if he is offended rather than take it on board to police everyones feelings unless it is an obvious insult. I am sure that the Puritans of England thought they were doing a good thing...

Let me make a point to you too then. If there are a group of women talking about issues that effect them and one has a strong opinion and it turns out that that poster is a man, should that opinion be on equal footing as those of women? Of course not becuase it doesn't affect them. I am not...

Um..not sure I agree with this. The point about him being an Australian is that he has no stake in this game which is what CC was saying and which i understood - the fact that the NHS might be sold off might be interesting to someone from Mongolia and they may have an opinion but as it wont...

You are right it doesn't work - the things labour have brought in or enhanced have been a massive failure: Council housing, the NHS (opposed by the Tories), State Pensions, the minimum wage all things that nobody likes and we all want rid of.

Cheers for the update :-)

Corbyn sat back and let it all happen.

These people are dreamers - the narrative is that people actually want a far left govenment so in protest at not being offered one they vote for a Tory party that is right of Thatcher - it is ilogical in the extreme. Mind you if you have someone who opposes Grammer schools because they foster...
