Some people need to keep it simple,and if you take your learning from the Sun then you will cause much merriment,when you try to impose your very limited talents on others  |

Whatever happened to Red Ken at British Leyland ?
A Labour peerage perhaps?
Is he now Lord Loony of Strikesville ?
British Leyland we know about - it went bust (thank you Unions) !!!
I know Birmingham and BL well,obviously you don't.
It was Red Robbo,and it went bust in 1975 because of bad management primarily (£17 million to develop the Marina) !!! |

The older and less reactionary I become, the more I come to realise how much the term "loony left" is - and always has been - little more than a construct of a tabloid press keen to break unions and discredit politicians they regard as dangerous to their profits and dubious moralities. What we regard here today as pretty damn right wing would have been regarded in Hitler's Germany as "loony left". As I have just written in another thread what is at the heart of this is also simply a matter of context and perspective. |
