To answer you questions I clearly remeber the awful 3 day week and being held to ransom by very powerful unions backed by left wing money and politicians , long term it badly damaged the working man .
I attending a number of high end union events around the UK in the day where the evening fringe events had the hot spot debates with young Corbyn , Liverpool based militant , socilalist worker, Derek Hatton all trying to start a reveloution , they even had another version of our unions and others , they used to call the them the "" real unite"" or"" real num"" , what I have noticed recently is a few of those old boy names resurfacing in the name of momentum.
You only have to look at how badly this can go wrong by looking back at the Liverpool of the 80's which wanted to pull away from the UK some of that damage still exits in that city to this day .
I once attended a meeting some years later in Liverpool and was advised to leave the lift I was in due to the fact it was full of highly motivated union members whose behaviours were somewhat threating.
The results of that revolution are for all to see now masses of business relocated to greener fields away from the ideologies,taking the jobs with them .

Must admit, I'm a little bit like Gluey when it comes to an anti Trump story here - I honestly don't know a great deal about it. I've just Googled "Corbyn and the spy" and what I got was a load of stuff which divided along predictable lines with the right wing media pushing the story for all it's worth and it being denied by the sort of people and publications you'd expect to be denying it.

This anti-Corbyn news all about a certain foreign country losing control of the Labour Party. This foreign country also controls our media. You are being told there is a left wing – right wing schism in the Labour Party, but if you read the Labour Party messageboards you will see that they are not arguing about things like nationalisation or immigration. You will find they are mainly arguing about a certain country's "right to exist" and the Balfour Declaration.
This foreign country will not rest until they regain control of the Labour Party. By hook or by crook Corbyn will be removed.
The sick man of Europe .....spoken like one of Maggie's arse lickers
Thatcher was a disaster for this country , she ruined what was left of post war society and created a me me me culture which pervades to this day
I wish corbyn the very best in taking on may , this current lot are worse , if that's possible , than Thatcher
The funny thing is, the Tories are on another smear campaign just after the last one failed dismally. It's also fecking hilarious that Theresa May, in a bid to win the young vote, set up a commission on Student Fees that will, basically, do sod all and drive even more students to the ballot boxes next time around.
I thought he was being hopeful. Corbyn is the next PM, not even Murdoch can save May now. Before the last election, the thought of Corbyn being PM didn't fill me with much hope. Now, I am as desperate to see him as PM as I have been for anyone in my lifetime.
Lunacy is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. I can't wait for the next election - just need a few by elections to make the Tories even more of a lame duck and we can then sit back and watch the Rees-Mogg/BJ/Gove dream ticket get annihilated by Jezza. It will be lovely, and a true Socialist Government will be just what this country needs.
I have sympathy with some of his ideas, but the man is never a leader in a million years. He is a puppet of the unions who select him, perhaps in the same vein as Cameron was a puppet of his funders. Neither are genuine leaders who will take on vested interests.
There will be confirmation bias from both the Left and Right on this narrative. White van man will down his Fosters at 4pm with a copy of The Sun in his hand, lapping up the story word by word, because he wants to believe it. The bearded teachers and pen-pushers in Localville Council Offices in Ruralshire will be believing today's copy of The Guardian's denials that he has any links with foreign Left wing governments at all. Why? Because they want to believe it. Confirmation Bias party all round.
That said, my view of this spy story is laughable. The Capitalists are seriously concerned with the possibility of Corbyn and Mc Donnell and rightly so. So they dial L for Love and call up Tarquin Fotherington-Smythe and his chums run various copies of Right Wing News and they do a hatchet job on Corbyn. Providing they can have plausible deniability if someone accused them of lies they can hold their nose at the stink they created and point their fingers at this ex-intelligence fall guy. My suspicion is that they probably paid him a couple of Slovakian Kronas and the boy sends them a story that stinks. Happy days for Tarquin Fotherington-Smythe and his ilk. Happy days for Boris Bullshitov or whatever his name is. Both pockets filled. A win-win.
In a few weeks time we will have the same from the Left. Some fruity fella from within Momentum will finally cotton on that Theresa May's husband, who runs a hedge fund which speculates against the British economy, will make a mint from Brexit. Likewise William Rees-Mogg who has serious investments in emerging markets, can make a King's fortune should the UK sign open deals with emerging markets, free from tariffs and European trade barriers. Bearded Fruity Frank in his Momentum office no doubt will down his latest Fair Trade coffee, and make a call to some editor of The Guardian to kick up the stink. That will be all over the press, followed a week later by those irrational and emotive buffoons who are forever crying and shouting while they hammer away on their keyboards at that odious website, The Canary.
It's all a circus. Don't get sucked in, from whichever wing you are. Stay above the smog. Retain your dignity.
Hey buddy
Which bits of the manifesto were far-left in your opinion? Labour are beyond far left at the minute so it isn't a difficult question for you to answer.To say they are way too far to the left is an understatement ... so not my bag
It is starting to feel like you don't think before you come up with your opinion, maybe you just get it from somewhere else
In between thrusts can you answer the question?
You are the one coming out with crap that Labour are far left not Eric so why not attempt to back up what you say with specific policies that suggest Labour are extremists. You can’t because what you said is nonsense.
The ideological idiots are the likes of you fools who blindly adhere to ‘the market’and swear they are always right.
It’s a desperate attempt to smear Corbyn again by the gutter right wing press. It will be consumed by their elderly readership who won’t be voting Labour anyway. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence will see this for what it is. Little wonder the printed media is dying on its arse.

Don't know what this does for the forceable assertions made earlier in this thread but it has definitely made a dent in Bradley's bank balance when he repeated some of them on Twitter.
Worth just watching the Andrew Neil filleting of Steven Baker in the embedded video. I am sure he will thank Gavin Williamson for turning him into Neil's punchbag.
In faintness to Andrew Neil he’s given it to him both barrels there.
As for that stephen Baker, dear lord what a smarmy twat.
