I read it... it had a historical gist, a family flavour and, it's probably fair to say, was not 'pro'.


Still, water under the (Dike) bridge eh?

on a serious note, a fascinating family indeed mick mac. JFK averted nuclear exchange during the cuban missile crisis and tomorrow people should well consider how different the world would be today without his influence. Nontheless, he was a notorious womaniser, rumoured also to have favoured his son over his daughter. despite his faults he is one of my personal heroes and i highly recommend robert dallek's autobiography 'kennedy; an unfinished life'.


ask not what you can do...

Umm... let's see now... He nearly took us to a third world war with the Cuban missile crisis, err... Vietnam, his addiction to amphetamines and his constant shagging away from home made him a security threat especially with someone as unstable as Marilyn Monroe, who was probably murdered by the CIA. I don't deny that JFK had charisma and I would say that every Irish/American whether they were catholic or protestant probably voted for him but it took an old bruiser like LBJ to bring in some of the most significant legislation in the annals of US history. Kennedy would and could never have done it. The US was well rid of him - saccharine-coating and all.


As for why he got shot there are a lot of theories whether they be conspiracy ones or not and I'm sure you know the ones I am talking about.

    • This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
    • @Insuflo NO, please no, please don't encourage him to post more often! 😒
    • Revealing of what, exactly? I resurrected this thread, after a year, to highlight the foolishness of the OP’s op. And how posturing would be sagacity is quickly undermined by events, dear boy, events. The thread is about Mandelson. I knew he was a wrong ‘un all along, we all did; the Epstein shit just proves it. In reality, Kinnock, Blair, Brown, Starmer et all knew as well but accepted it, because they found him useful. As did a large proportion of the 2024 intake of Labour MPs who were personally vetted and approved by Mandelson.
