Tony Benn, mild-mannered democratic socialist, champion of just, working-class causes; are you feeling alright, TLS?


Some of us have photographic, elephantine memories gallinello!


For example, when Doctor Beeching decimated The British Railways Network back in The 1960's and destroyed The Communities of many working-class people, who do you think sat right next to him at The Press Conference explaining and detailing how our Transport infra-structure was going to be wrecked?


Who do you think aided and assisted him in this and did NOT exactly "champion" the working-class cause?


Why that nice Aristocratic socialist "champion" WEDGIE!!


p.s The only line out of Grinstead that survived the axe was EAST Grinstead, which by REMARKABLE CO-INCIDENCE was Beeching's own line at the time!, the road to it is now called "Beeching Way"..


"Champion" Socialist--More "Champagne" Socialist and Hilary has followed on his proud tradition....:)-D

Anthony Wedgewood-Benn, was born a fully-fledged aristocrat, the son of Viscount Stansgate. Sir John Benn was a Baronet before that.


He was described as an "Old Testament prophet" who "immatures with age" by Harold Wilson, while he was part of his 1964-70 Government.


He was a great supporter of that other "mild-mannered democratic socialist, champion of just, working-class causes", namely,Arthur Scargill, who tried to bring down The Country, at the time...:)

I will contact him on this one; his responses, unlike yours, TLS, are normally clear, concise and rational.

I couldn't possibly respond to this alleged "wrecking" and destruction of working class communities through station closures.

It's obviously something that had a deep effect on you and your elephantine memory, leading to hateful thoughts and murderous images of pain and torture for the alleged perpetrator.

Therapy time for you, me ol' TLS!

The sun is shining, have a nice day.

TLS:If are having difficulty comprehending either of my 2 postings regarding The Horrible Gentleman, then allow me to elaborate.


Which part of the above do you fail to understand gallinello?

TLS:If you were a member of one of the Communities in, say. Cornwall, that suddenly became "detached" then your attitude might be somewhat different I would expect. As it did NOT, presumably, affect you adversely then "sod 'em!" eh! galli?


What an altruistic socialist view...


Seems like the sun you mentioned, shines out of this Politician's posteria....B)

You've just over reached yourself, careful you don't have people accusing you of placing spittle flecked rants on here and saying that you are a far right supremacist taking on vigilante duties in your spare time.

Was this the case where various men consented to scalding/electrocuting and inflating each others scrotums.


In a private club, as you do ?

Come on Mr A.. without wishing to labour a previously made point, the spittleranting element wasn't in the content itself, it was in the presentation.. ie shouting F**K every other word and topping it off with a C**T. Fair enough?

Hi all


I am replying to the views expressed about drug users and dealers by some on this thread; i e that they are so heinous that they deserve to be water boarded, or Police should be alowed to treat them violently.


I have actually worked in drug and alochol rehabilition for 16 years, and I have still to meet an evil person. I have, however, met many people who have done terrible things, to themselves as well as others. Above all, everyone I have met has been someone trying to do their best, albeit badly.


Be sure of this; Dulwich has many dealers and users. There is a view that Cannabis is not really "drugs" and that buying and selling on, (at for example a festival) is harmless. (and therefore OK, which it is not!) One of the more interesting and humorus things I have often come across, is that in the community of dealers and users, there is a lot of snobbery; cannabis users at festivals won't see themselves as problem users, but see heroin users as the pits. Crack users, look down on heroin users. Everyone looks down on glue sniffers, and so on. Generalisations I know, and questionable, but very common.


Drug and alcohol misuse is endemic at all levels in our society; no one deserves to be judged as evil, and no one deserves to be tortured.

Indeed it is. Though being a girl I wouldn't know for sure what men do in private clubs.

Oh! I don't know, though.


Only last week a work colleague of my friend was in Court after her "evil" heroin addict Partner disappearred with a Woman he met at Re-hab(!). He used to steal all the kids "toy" money, while she did 3 jobs to keep them afloat.


This time she flipped and put her nails deep into his face when she found him with her. Thats after she battered her and put her fingers in his nose and spread his nose as far across his face as much as she could.


Thanks to our Legal System, it was only her 2nd recent offence ( she ran over a Guy who she had a disagreement with and then ran over him again, in case she missed any of his bits the first time) and was fined......?125..lol


She was driven to this by her heroin-addicted Partner though...

Why that nice Aristocratic socialist "champion" WEDGIE!!<<<


There's probably a few things that can be laid at Benn's door, but blaming him for any sort of substantial role in the Beeching Axe is pretty bizarre. It was not his decision to renege on the manifesto promise to halt the line closures - he was onlt a junior minister after all - and the whole Beeching thing had started several years previously. And using a quote by Harold Wilson, of all people, against him strikes me as being fairly counter-productive.

Guilty by association ( in both cases):-$


He was just building his own career then so b+gger the people and the manifesto. He was going places and did not want this "cause" to shackle him.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
