Ben Macintyre is never wrong.
Foot, like Benn, was a Soviet stooge and tried to sell the British people into slavery.
Such are socialists.

Smearing a man like Michael Foot is pretty despicable.
I guess there's just a meanness in this world.
Michael Foot appeared at a ceremony to honour our Glorious Dead wearing a donkey jacket. That's what he thought of our Glorious Dead.
Have you read the Gordievsky book? It's bloody good. Say what you like about Oleg, but he had some big, brass balls on him.
Not a fùcking chance I'd have gone back to Moscow if I was suddenly recalled as he was.
No, I like to listen to my Macintyres. It's in the queue.
Oh, I'm listening to it now. I tend to use 'read' and 'listen to' interchangeably these days.
Who was the author you mentioned the other week - wrote detective novels set in Germany?
Bernie Gunther? The author is Philip Kerr.
That's the one - thanks
I wonder if they've been translated into German? Reading them in German would add to the ambience, I would say.
