I quite like voting in local elections. It's nice and quiet and the officials look

Must you be rude? You simply betray your lack of wit.

Anyway, you prove my point, since it is permissble to call me foul names because I am a rich old white man, but if I were to call your mum a spastic that would be unacceptable, what with her being a spastic and all.

Thank you for your contribution, Senator McCarthy.

:shrug: It is a matter of record that McCarthy was right. His methods were, perhaps, not to our taste, but the US was fighting a war against communism and was infested with it within. We took less notice of the threat and ended up with paid KGB operatives Benn and Wilson in government.

Of course, as I pointed out the other week on here, McCarthy was absolutely right. The State Department and Hollywood were absolutely crawling with communists. He did a good job imo.

Just because the left has successfully turned him into a bogeyman doesn't mean he wasn't abso-fücking-lootly spot on.

:nod: Indeed, had we had a chap with McCarthy's drive, the Labour Party might now be electable. Or not exist. Either way, a good result.

Even his most ardent supporters don't claim he was absolutely right and I think the strike against him was as much about method as accuracy.

Your defence of him sits rather uncomfortably alongside your criticism of Blair's attack on the rights and freedom of individuals

Of course, well done, JRM. Still, nobody really likes it up 'em though, do they.

Actually happened to me in my second year - tutorials at 6pm on a Monday and Thursday in US involvement in the Pacific 1936-51. **** that - there were films on that and everything. I had already decided a history degree wasn't exactly going to get me far in life. Still passed the exam

Bashar Al-Assad has experience of all this sort of thing, and could be freed up for a new managerial role in a year or two. He could be yer man. :thumbup:
