He is not a shadow of his father...

Though I didn't always agree with his father's left wing views l admired his father too,  but Hilary is more of a centrist and is a remainer too, which his father wouldn't have been.

Thanks to Corbyn, we now have a sexist, cheating, racist, liar in power for the next 10 years.

 

This was predicted and yet the labour party members did nothing about it - just harking back to the Glastonbury years.

 

What are they going to do now? Bitter infighting I guess.

 

Yet another positive move!!! NOT

Hi Janie, What didn’t you agree about Tony Benn’s left wing views that made him admire him?

He made me vote Labour, I thought he was a great politician.

Met him once - being born into a mining family I found him pretty condescending and he loved talking about himself more than anything - "I told Harold / Jim / Roy / Michael etc that they were wrong blah blah blah and I was proved right blah blah blah"

eh? At least give me a chance to understand what you mean.

 

Your nonsensical responses seem to be a common thread looking back into your history - if you can't say something of value - say nothing!

You can admire someone for their principles without necessarily agreeing with their position on every issue. 

 

I also admire Ken Clarke and some other politicians from political parties I don't vote for.

Who in his own eyes had been right about everything since being in Parliament. He desparately wanted to be Labour leader and IMHO had adopted a left wing position to that end.

Let’s not hang our dirty washing out here mate, the forum Tories have enough meat to get their teeth into. We may disagree but I think he was a good politician and a decent person.
