Having voluntarily removed myself from the board last night, I have no wish to restart any conflagrations. Indeed, so far as I am able, I intend not to respond to SpinningHugo at all in future.

Much easier on the blood pressure if one doesn't engage.

I would rip my brain out through my ears if I ever thought like you, you slimy little toad, applauding the kind of third world political fix that this country used to condemn without even thinking. You pollute this forum. I hope Hugo will put his money where his mouth is. He'll need more than one c...

There have been many times, down the years, that I have been ashamed of my country.

If this goes as we suspect, this will be a stink in the nostrils of the world like never before, and this country will have not the vestige of moral authority to criticise another again.

I want to leave.

He may have fixed it, but at what cost? The end of the Labour party as we have known it, quite possibly. I hope he feels it was worth it in the years and decades to come. Difficult, indeed invidious, choice. Try and think like me and Watson. If you think, as Watson and I do, that Labour is utterly ...

I'm always a critic of conspiracy theories and 'false flag' stories, but one could ask 'who benefits ?' from the window being smashed.

Afternoon all I know I'm probably being naive but surely this means the plotters or potential saviours of the Labour party (whichever you think they are) now have a simple choice if the whole basis of the coup was that corbyn would lose the 2020 election and therefore they needed a change now.

My position is vastly different I am not and ever have been a Labour party member.

Dave Anderson is, actually, another interesting one on that list - from a genuine working class background and strongly supported the Iraq war (at the time) from a left wing perspective. And he has probably eaten a haggis, and may know what neeps are. That's just naughty. That's a tattie joke.
