What was wrong with the 1945 Attlee Government? Well a lot of its infrastructure building costs were offset by the Marshall plan....which was your hated America giving it money. Having to look for successful socialism from around the world and having to look seventy years ago to a one term government says quite a lot. As Thatcher said, socialism runs out of other people's money.....As soon as a socialist government gets elected all the high earners...of which a lot of investment comes...they leave or find different ways of hiding their cash. Tax takes always seem to be higher when you don't have socialism. Though something different is happening within nordic countries. I wouldn't be adverse to finding out why the cultural attitudes towards high taxation happens there....and what investment is like. Edited by Stirlingsays (02 Jun 2017 11.23am)

I understand Hitler was, whilst evil and mad, a very good actor and could be very charming and charismatic. He managed to charm vin Hindenburg so completely that he signed off everything Hitler asked of him. Goebells' diaries also mention frequently that Hitler often chatted very pleasantly among his close acquaintances and came across as a good listener. I doubt he would have been able to mastermind such a coup of Germany and become so all-powerful without being charming and affable when he needed to be. If only he had been cold and off-putting, people might not have been so enamoured with him. Stalin at Yalta was in the strongest position of the three (helped by the Cambridge 5 - done my reading now!), and from accounts "appeared reasonable, he was friendly and affable." May has very little charm. This is so silly.

Isn't the art of negotiation compromise. A deal won't be forged straight away, be a lot of toing and froing The art is having something to compromise with...unlike Labour apparently where the approved position appears to be about begging to be treated nicely where you are meekly begging for forgiveness.

That's absolutely not true. Hindenburg had utter contempt for Hitler, going so far as to refer to him as a "Bohemian corporal". He (very reluctantly) appointed Hitler as Chancellor as the only alternative would have been an inexorable descent into chaos and civil war (admittedly stoked by the Nazis). He saw the appointment of Hitler very much as the lesser of two evils. No way did Hitler "charm" him - he saw through him and detested him to his dying breath. German historian's I've read say differently. Hindenburg certainly wasn't a big fan and definitely not initially but was convinced enough to acquiesce to his every request in the final couple of years of his life, and that has been attributed to Hitler's charm (at least in part) by historians. Hindenburg publicly thanked Hitler for the Night of the Long Knives.

Fascists backed UKIP so I suppose that makes Farage and Nuttall Fascists following your logic? According to most of you lot on the left, they were fascists and racists, as I recall. You can spin as you please but the fact is that the Labour party has been invaded by the far left, many of whom came fro the Communist party. The reason is simple, Comrade Corbyn is as close to their ideology as any Labour leader is going to get.

You do realise that Labour voted in favour of invoking article 50? We are talking about May.

Tell me more of the requests Hitler made. Appointing Hitler Chancellor and the granting of emergency powers after the Reichstag Fire are two. What others?

May has very little charm. So if Corbyn shares all these characteristics of affability and friendliness with Hitler and Stalin, does that mean, beneath the bonhomie, he too is a psychopathic dictator? Can we expect him, if he wins on 6th June, to invade Poland on 9th June or launch a genocidal purge of moderately well off agriculturalists?
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |
