crookesey Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 If Jeremy Corbyn had been a good looking charismatic leader we might just have been living in a Communist state. Conversely Giorgia Meloni’s age and good looks might just appeal to the Italian far right, how far right we could soon discover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote im pretty sure they dont want to immediately deport all brown people Is that what you consider necessary to be far-right? It starts a lot closer to the centre than that or 'advocates sending Jews to concentration camps'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trastrick Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 If socialism worked, there would never be another conservative elected anywhere in the World. There'd be no need! But you can only cut up the public pie into so many pieces. Then you need to get the bakers back in. Wilson. Callaghan gave you Thatcher, Major Blair, Brown gave you Cameron, May, Boris Carter gave you Reagan Clinton gave you Bush, Bush Jr Obama gave you Trump. Biden gave you ???? And on it goes!

It is reported that Mussolini said that he classed an Italian Jew as an Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatcher, Major gave you Blair, Reagan gave you Carter, Bush gave you Clinton, Bush Jr gave you Obama, Trump gave you Biden. Or... on your debt scale: Reagan, increased the deficit. Carter, reduced the deficit. Bush, massive increase in deficit. Clinton, ran a surplus! Bush Jr, staggering increase in deficit, huge recession. Obama, reduced the deficit. Trump, massive increase in deficit. These "bakers".... sure ain't the ones you think they are! If "socialism" (which in this context I'm not sure you even know what that means) doesn't work, it's sure a **** load less expensive than the alternative!

Jim Hardie Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) I worked in Munich at the time Franz Josef Strauss was in office there and he was fond of saying that he hoped West Germany would never need him as Chancellor. It never did. Edited September 26, 2022 by Jim Hardie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
