This Corbyn thing and having a go at Bop has really got under your skin Hepcat......still I hope it has taken your mind off worrying about 'Jihadis under the bed'.....you haven't mentioned that for ages.
The Corbyn thing is a political joke, but sadly it is on the Brits.....
Perhaps, I was too harsh on Bop, but his position strikes me as somewhat contradictory and hypocritical at the same time.
Whether we are in denial or not, jihadist attacks in mainland Europe and the UK are part of the landscape now. To have a healthy waryness of this is not equivalent to the red scares and McCarthy era witch hunts in the 1950's. Those card carrying commie actors, directors and script writers never beheaded no one.
I am not sure Brittan is in the clear. One witness has been discredited but that is all.
He could play him in the mini-series and when this fiasco is all over, I am sure there will be at least a mini-series and perhaps, even a musical in it.
Tebbit, a conviction politician who was considered to be hard right in his Commons days but who seems quite moderate now. I was in a team in the 90s who looked after his security when he was staying at his country home. Although I didn't agree with many of his views I always enjoyed talking to him immensely, he seemed very ordinary and down to earth. Born of working class parents and state grammar school educated he had done well for himself in aviation before entering politics. He has an appreciation of what life is like for ordinary people, he's quite unlike the current crop of over privileged old Etonian twats.
What Bop wants is for everyone in England to be buying jeans from Primark made by exploited workers in far off lands and to be able to buy pot luck clobber of ebay with no import duty. Though of course he also want Starbucks to pay their way. All this while he's off chasing the American dream. Though all the green card thing depends on what his wife says due to his commitment to apathy beyond pushing a few buttons on a keyboard.
Harsh maybe, yet at the same time, fair I feel.
