I didn't say it had, Tramp. I said there was a Socialist Labour Party in existence and wondered why you didn't support it?
"True people on the left?" ha!
Because Scargill has no tactical nous, he has ideas but no knowledge how to implement them, look at the miners strike involving him, the miners would have won with a good leader.
Continually being banned by Planet Swans for Porthcawl and then being reinstated.

Didn't Leanne say she was involved in the miners strikes? If only she could have led them to glory.
The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

You do realise he was a product of Victorian nobility which explains some of his less appealing traits. However as i see it without him we would have undoubtedly gone under in 1940.
Without him wed be speaking german now.
A weaker leader would have capitulated with Hitler.
Going to see.the movie.Darkest Hour tonight.

Very good sir.
We will fight them in the air. We will fight them in the sea etc
We will never surrender.
Truly inspirational.
Bony, the book Darkest Hour by Anthony McCarten published by Penguin to coincide with the film's release is superb, probably one of the more accessible accounts leading up to and just beyond the fall of France I've read.
The other title I would urge anybody to get a hold of is The Duel by John Lukacs. A ground breaking study in it's time (1990) it has lost none of power in the intervening years. Essential reading.
An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

The 'Tonypandy Riots' is what he's most famous for in Wales. My Record Shop is in Pandy, any chance of another one, it would improve the town centre considerably.
Second Time Around Record Shop-Tonypandy, RCT-Open Friday and Saturday.

I was there recently, Taff. I'd have bought you a pint in the De Winton if I'd known that was your neck of the woods.

Watched it at the weekend. It’s ok. Some scenes are faintly ridiculous and Gary Oldman overacts hs way through the whole thing. Decent watch though. John Lithgow’s Churchill in The Crown was far superior to Oldman’s.

John Lithgow's turn was brilliant, Clase.

That was a year after Britain and France had declared war on Germany in Sept 1939.
Like I said, Hiltler didn’t want war with Britain. Of course after a nation receives a war declaration it’s going to defend itself.
I’m just saying is all. I think the 'we'd all be speaking German' line is a tad simplistic.
We could not trust that Nazi snake or his henchmen my friend.
Had we made a peace pact with them,history shows they would soon have dishonoured it and taken over the organs of the state and the military soon after.
Just look at the "peace pact" he had with Stalin. It was all a ploy to take over Russia.

Whether he wanted it or not is irrelevant, the second the Nazi's stepped foot in Poland, he knew what the consquences of his actions, would be.

Exactly.
If he wanted to avoid war with Britain and France 🇫🇷 (I think he would have taken those Frenchies double quick time after Poland ) then he would not have invaded Poland in Sep 39.
We let him take Austria and Czechoslovakia but he had to be stopped at that point.
Poland was the red line that took us into a world war.

Is that Owain Glyndwr?
The chap who served in the English army and who was quite happy to live in the lap of luxury with lands and wealth maintained by Welsh peasants and serfs living in abject poverty and servitude under his control until he had a village nicked from under his nose by a neighbouring Lord of the manor which prompted him to go on the rampage?
He seemed quite happy with the situation whilst he was benefitting from having the local Welsh population toiling away for him and his family. Not quite so happy when he started to see it being snatched away.
Or are we talking about a different Glyndwr?

Amazing he got it the top 10 people of the millenium then don’t you think ?
Wiki says .....
‘Only printing press inventor Johannn Gutenburg, William Shakespeare, William Caxton, who brought printing to Britain, Leonardo da Vinci, Elizabeth the First and the discoverer of electricity, Michael Faraday, were more important than one of the heroes of Welsh history’.
