Interesting point...but I think 'the right-wing' is sufficiently vague to enable 'less'....Lots of Ukip voters voted Labour this time around. It's hard to count what exactly 'right-wing' is.

And on England Day ban all kids with Labour-voting parents or funny sounding surnames from crossing the border that is the school gate.

And on Labour Day, hold an election for Head Boy/Girl and then claim that the kid who came second won it.

The current Labour Party is as far left as it has been for years, if not ever, and it shares many of it's ideals with Communism. You only need to look at communist web sites to see how delighted they are with Jeremy Corbyn.

Absolute hogwash.

Labour was far more to the left overall under Keir Hardie,the 1945 manifesto and the 1983 manifesto.Indeed,there were things the Blair government did that were to "the left" of what was in the current manifesto.

Jamie is right about the hypocrisy. If "communists" being happy about the direction of the Labour Party presently no more makes it a communist party than fascists in the USA being happy with the Republican Party under Trump making the Republicans a fascist party.Be careful or you may give credence to the theory posted about by the OP.

I was on a wind up. It definitely isn't "fewer". I thought I'd ignore all the sensible argument and say something useless for once.

Is that the National now being less important than the Socialism?

The "fewer" is "more" approach?

'Fewer' is used for items that can be actually counted, eg 'Labour won fewer seats than the Conservatives'.

'Less' is used for something not countable, eg 'There is less beer in this glass than there is in that one'.

Supermarkets that have '8 items or less' checkouts are using grammar incorrectly.

Hope this helps.

For the record, this was my joke but it's gotten out of control.

Attlee and Bevin were very anti-communist, Foot and Benn less so, but Corbyn and McDonnell are fellow-travellers, Trotskyites in Labour clothing.

Nope, because of the historical connotations of white people blacking up, makes it kind of more potentially offensive than people dressing up as a French stereotype.


Doesn't that fit the definition of racism?

Not that I'm saying you are racist of course...just that you highlight that it's ok to treat different groups differently upon some historical guilt.

Personally I think these judgements are far too sensitive and are restrictions on freedom of expression based upon historical judgements over whole groups....whole groups damn it.

I don't believe my relatives owned slaves. Even if they did My skin colour shouldn't define me.

This concept that we can have different rules of engagement due to someone's skin colour fits the definition.

You have your 'right on' racism and you have your 'demonised' racism. It isn't objective.
