re: #501 HAL2010

Good point, but I prefer to draw the parallel with what happened to labour after their defeat by Thatcher in 1979. They really went crazy with the ‘ideological purity’, electing the unelectable Michael Foot as their leader and spending the next 18 years out of power and being overrun by hardened socialist backstabbers like ‘Militant Tendency’.

Whereabouts in the UK are you btw? (I’m in Scotland)
