amidst the collapse of an entire belt of post-colonial African states, it was quite apparent by the early 1980s that international bodies were rather quick to recognize whichever militant group controls the most important buildings in the war-torn capital as the de facto state - a phenomenon that Christopher Clapham vividly described as "letterbox sovereignty". in the post-Vietnam, post-detente atmosphere it was also obvious that both the left and the right were quick to sign up to this principle as a way to overlook the degree of inhumane dysfunction

that is, if you're curious why anybody would be insane enough to propose a blitz takeover by force of arms, and present it to the world as a kind of fait accompli

Jesus Christ this was from 1994. May is going into coalition with a party that includes this man as a senior figure after spending the whole campaign attacking Corbyn for far older and less extreme statements. And accusing him of wanting to form a "coalition of chaos".

Hmmn lets have a poke at wiki

quote:

Allen made her maiden speech before the House of Commons on 20 October 2015, when she detailed criticism of proposed cuts to tax credits, saying, 'because today I can sit on my hands no longer'. She wanted to criticise the proposed tax credit cuts. She wanted to intervene before it was 'too late' to stop the changes to tax credits, even though she didn't want to support the motion tabled by Labour because she disagreed with the party's overall stance,[10][11][12] whilst also not being in favour of the Government's motion over tax credit cuts.[13] Isabel Hardman of The Spectator described her speech as "truly brave" and "well argued"

hmmmn... that seems reasonable enough

Despite her speech she voted in favour of tax credit cuts, in line with the Conservative whip

Yeah, but you have to remember the British were still colonial 'drat those savages, kill them all until they like us' to everyone in the world.

A family member was tortured and killed back at that time by the Black and Tans, he was coming home from mass and they tortured him, slit his throat and forced his catholic bible down into his neck.

If you want to see true bigotry hatred, heres a speech from one of the British Commanders at the time:

Lots of Tories (and a handful of right wing Labour MPs) sticking the boot into May for having an incredibly unpopular manifesto that they think lost them the election.

I mean I'm sure it didn't help, but the Tories got 42% of the vote. As political parties go they were incredibly popular. It's just that Labour were within touching distance of the 40.7% that netted Blair a second landslide in 2001.

Basically anyone trying to take this away from Jam Grandad is an idiot.

Ashcroft survey data suggests the defections from the Tories were actually pretty low and labour's success was due almost entirely to unlikely voters and eating some minor parties

certainly looks that way from my constituency, where Labour went from 8k votes to 18k with only a 3k increase in turnout and the tories increasing their share by 2k. Looks like they took 2k off the Lib Dems, 2.5k off the Greens, and split the UKIP vote with the Tories to get that 10k

Ashcroft survey data should be taken with a fistful of salt because it's been proven bullshit again and again. That said, it seems pretty sensible to believe Tories weren't shifting to Jeremy Corbyn's Labour (except Rakosi I think?) and they were benefiting from UKIP and non-voters voting Labour. Funnily enough, "where are all the UKIP voters and non-voters you promised Corbyn would bring?" was a common jibe from anti-Corbynites to Corbynites.

Tory MPs Are Really Worried About The DUP's Gay Rights Record

quote:

"I will knock on a door in a leafy village and they will say 'my nephew's gay – you've just joined with a party who hates gays'," said the MP. "Then I will spend 20 minutes explaining it's confidence and supply. By which time I've lost.

"There's a generation who do not understand how toxic it is. I'm not going to go down with this ship."
