Really? Shallow people will probably vote for shallow people if they shout loud enough and claim that's what counts as personality!!

Can claim asylum but that doesn't mean that it will be granted!!

Netanyahu doesn't just want to wipe out Hamas though. That was the point of Max Hastings article.

And what about Netanyahu's intent? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2009/may/09/israel-middle-east-max-hastings

That's not really saying much bearing in mind in the last 40 years there's only been two elections won by the opposition!

I'm aware of that. However, are you suggesting that this was only done on the condition that Starmer only supported humanitarian pauses and that there should be no mention of ceasefire?

I'm not entirely clear why Starmer effectively painted himself into a corner. The obvious aim is a cease fire followed by peace and, preferably, a two state system where each recognize the right of the other to exist. The precursor to that might well be humanitarian pauses but that shouldn't...

Marx didn't live in the 21st century, he didn't even make it as far as the 20th Century. I haven't read him but I doubt very much he foresaw how capitalism and the global economy would develop the way it has.

You're right, it's not up to people to consider what class they are in, that's the job of yourself. So, by your metrics, someone who might be on £200k a year is working class but someone who owns a shop and may clear about £40k profit a year is middleclass. I'm going to stick my neck out...

I'm sorry but, according the JRG, if they're using their hands or their brains then they are working class.

Modern Monetarism, print as much as you like when you like. I might try that at home!!

Just to point out where I stand, I'm a labour member, I did cancel when Corbyn was leader but rejoined last year. I'm not against the nationalisation of certain services, in fact I'm very much for it, eg Railways and utilities, but quite clearly Corbyn's manifesto was not as attractive to the...

I'm guessing he's either a student or, like Corbyn, never actually grew out of being a student.

That's the oddest definition of working class I have ever seen. You singlehandedly have pretty much eliminate the middle classes. Those that own property and have worked hard to get it aren't going to risk losing that by joining a revolution. You can write as much as you like but you're...

You make it sound like there's 65,500,000 working class and 500,000 Bourgeois. As an example, in 2017 there were 14.4m households which were owned or were owned with a mortgage. That was about 63% of all households. Then take into account there are many that rent that are not your working...

Capitalism has to go to be replaced by what? Socialism? The state owning all means of production. Good luck with convincing enough people to vote for that.

So that's not a good example about opposition 'doing' stuff!!!

Teaching of divisive left wing philosophies, which ones are you referring to? Guessing they are going to be some sort of inclusivity or diversity type which have got your goat!! If they are, you can bet your bottom dollar that's not at the request of the government.

Reform take power? A party that have no MPs and only 5 councillors across the entire country!! As for what Labour have done, what do you mean? They've been in opposition for the last 13 years so haven't been in a position to do anything. As for your comment that the Tory party (I assume...

Agree, the extremes on both sides are dangerous however this current period is the first that I can recall of the far right of the conservatives dominating the party as much as this. It'll come home to roost at the next election. Problem for Labour will be if the far left then try to undermine...
