…Succinct, that.
**sips coffee**
I see Britain is bound and determined to become a “worker’s paradise”…
And I see Bernie Sanders, an avowed Socialist, is leading the Democratic Polling in areas.
Nothing new, really.
I was reading about Weimar Germany (not the inflation people associate with the very early period) and the similarities to this time in history struck me.
And the race to turn Great Britain into Venezuela continues…

My grandparents would weep.
So they’re finally being honest with where they stand then….
They went full retard. Never go full retard.

But seriously, with the Tories moving left and the SNP destroying their powerbase, this was bound to happen. It’s not like Labour could become nationalist or capitalist.
But it’s nice to see them moving themselves toward irrelevancy as expeditiously as possible. Their doing so will help the UK IP rise.
some of the people in GB want a socialist paradise. they will be very confused and angry when the labour party goes the way of the dodo.
… what if it goes the way of the Labour Party circa 1965?
.
Mew
Or worse, the Liberal party, circa now. A disparate sometime coalition of “not the other guys.”
That sound you heard was UK Labour Party shooting themselves in the foot.
nope. knees. both at once.
But that’s OK ’cause Corbyn wants to take Labour back to the days of the Red Brigades, Baader-Meinhof, and the Provos anyway, some kneecappings are expected.
