...I've spent plenty of time on the left, and I thought I was still there, but you seem to know me better!
I do get exasperated by all the splits etc, when I think politics is/should be rather simple really.

And I certainly did not set out to "insult" you Leonard.
My comment on "schisms" was as "throwaway" as yours about Trotsky - just trying, perhaps unsuccessfully, to defy that other tired old cliche about people on the left being po-faced and humourless.
I've never wanted to burn a "commie", honest - but I have been one.

Odd, though, isn't it?
Every time a charismatic left wing figure emerges, it turns out that they're arrogant, self interested idiots. Could it be that Gandhi, if subjected to the same treatment in the media as Hatton, Galloway, et al, would turn out to be a terrorist supporting, financially tied fanatic with terrible dress sense and who probably eats babies.

Nah, I reckon they'd do a "Michael Foot" on Ghandi.

I totally agree with you though PMM....it is odd, can't think why that would happen.
What I find really odd is how people don't seem to question it - we just seem to take what's dished up to us.

I have no beliefs in invisible sky gods at all, which includes jesus. However, it's always amused me when I've read articles about jesus coming back now and the reception he'd get.
What would Bush & Blair say to him?
I bet Hello would have the picture rights.

...most candidates for "Messiah" had a pretty hard time off the Romans and their Jewish Quislings I think - I guess things don't change that much.
