    The same Tom Watson who took half a million from Max Mosley? Principally to gag the free press. Strange bedfellows but shows principles often go out the window when wonga is waved...

    Entry ist!
    Fair enough, and certainly more realistic than what I’ve returned to. But man is it fun.

    Tom Watson would be a definite improvement for me. Starmer better still maybe. We need a Labour Leader who is quite clear that Brexit needs putting to sleep, which I think is what the majority of Labour members and voters want.

    With respect I would like to hope most supporters and members of the Labour Party are more concerned with the wider social injustice in this country rather than Brexit alone.

    Might as well bring back Blair if any of those two got put in charge...my personal opinions of course.

    71 year old virgin (she has threatened to sue anyone who says she isn’t. I’m happy to take her word for it) Ann Widdicombe is looking forward to the day that ‘science’ can offer gay people the hope to become straight.

    I expect she is also keen to be around for ‘science’ to invent a time machine so she can live in a convent in the 11th century.

    Irrelevant. She wants Brexit, that's all that matters. They'd vote for Rose West if she advocated No Deal.

    Yeah murdering kids isn’t something I personally support but you’re just using that to smear her campaign. Typical Project Fear.

    The Tory 1922 committee, concerned about the large number of leadership candidates coming forward, now want to change the rules to limit the number. This after they had also wanted to change their party's rules to get rid of May - no longer necessary of course. These are the same people that consider a confirmatory EU referendum to be an affront to democracy. Ironic or what?

    I agree. She looks much older.

    Are there any examples of so-called right-wing bands, or other public eye wannabes, making similar calls (see link, below) in respect of left-leaning peoples? There probably is, but I can’t immediately think of any.

    I’m reminded of Elvis Costello’s song about tramping to soul down on Maggie’s grave too (recorded long before her death). I rather like Costello’s music, but thought that track somewhat let him down. Shame on Jeremy Vine for once playing it on his Radio 2 lunchtime show some years back.

    I find the hatred fascinating.

    While the doubtless thousands of people who will be protesting against Trump with their repeat joke balloon have a perfect right to spend their time like this, and Trump as an individual deserves no respect, I would be fascinated to know what the protesters think about the D Day commemorations as well. Especially the young ones.

    The BBC news has been going big on the 75th anniversary. Interviews with French people who were around at the time last night, which were really interesting. Lots of controversy about the huge numbers of French civilians killed during the invasion, 20,000 in Caen alone. Though one brilliant lady, a former member of the resistance, was pretty scathing about those who criticise the allies, saying words to the effect of ‘who else was going to save us? We were incapable of liberating ourselves. Am I supposed to demand an apology from the 10,000 Americans in the war cemetery down the road?’.

    Sadly Ubes there are plenty of white power and neo Nazi bands around, lists of them on Wikipedia. Don’t know if they are still going but Skrewdriver were a nasty British example, and a lot of Oi! music went in that direction. I haven’t investigated their lyrics because it’s breakfast time. The exact moral equivalent of these left wing hate peddlers, with whom they have much more in common than they would like to admit. Best to ignore the lot and shame on Glastonbury for giving them a platform. Protest through song is fine and has a long and honourable tradition, pathetic incitement to violence is something different.

    Peterborough by election on Thursday. Labour did their very best to find an antisemitic candidate from among their members. And succeeded in finding someone who had only sent a few antisemitic tweets...and yet still the media and the public complain. Corbyn must be outraged at the unfairness of it all.
