Very funny Cav and pompete…
Tony Benn…hmmmm
Someone who has declared that Mao was the greatest leader of the 20th century and was an apologist for the soviet bloc…and then bangs on about democracy
Support for Mao is no less disgusting than support for Hitler
I saw him speak in a bookshop in edinburgh a good few years ago. Lots of supporters there of course and was a tiresome love in until some rather more searching questions were asked. Then the answers were all about "conspiracies". what i really disliked was the manner in which he switched to that form of response….ie, with a shake of a head and smile as if to say "you wouldnt understand".
Arrogance was the word that came to mind (well…second word…after "nutter")

January 31, 2010 at 17:52 #273289For years I’ve had an old book in the loft called ‘Nigel Gresley; Locomotive Engineer’ written by F.A.S.Brown, and published in 1962. As my ex has given our grandson a model [not to be played with!] of Mallard I’d better keep it safe.

February 1, 2010 at 01:01 #273342I could not stop at four and would have different people at dinner parties for different aspects of my life. These are the people I would choose.
Hitler, Goering, Himmler and Hess one week after Krystalnacht. Although it would be alarming, I think it would also be fascinating.
Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Lee Trevino.
Peter O’Sullevan, Raleigh Gilbert, John Penney and Peter Bromley.
Barry Letts, Jon Pertwee, Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke.
My two Grandfathers, and two grandmothers.
Of the 20, I have spent various amounts of time with 10 of them, so there would be lots to learn and ask!
