A lot of that is connected to the reasons why I resigned from the Labour Party. I am just not capable of being Auth-Right

And you can already get heroin on the NHS.

WTF? All of those should be labour policies as well.

Also, “they won’t tell you”? It’s in their manifesto! The ad says so itself!

She’s lying, of course.

But why should people be required to hire bigots in the first place?

I dunno, taking Extinction Rebellion most likely is not the kind of case that gets you to be a QC. I think she might be right about that.

Michael Mansfield seems to have done ok.

Although he did have the advantage of starting his career when there was still legal aid.

ETA:

And his successes may be a large part of why we no longer have much in the way of legal aid.

What the fuck are the tankies up to now?

It’s CPGB-ML, if you must know. They’re more socially reactionary than Nigel Farage. I’d ignore them but they did scarily well in the Batley and Spen by-election.

All points that were in my mind when I wrote that!

It’s a bit like how free university education post war and the RSC and arts funding and all that and you had a bunch of working class English actors who became gods of the stage and screen.

And now, well now there is a cookie cutter type for breakthrough English actors and they tend to be very privately educated with voices that could cut glass.

He’s a tankie. He would be thrown out of his political party if he didn’t.

I wish I was joking.

Yeah, I wish you were, too. But that doesn’t seem uncommon among some who still want to cling to the delusion that Putin is a communist… or that Stalin wasn’t a monster.

Spectacularly ignorant! Racist literary critics tend to be. Like when they were giving out about wokeness ruining Wuthering Heights adaptation because Heathcliffe was played by a Black actor.

I mean he’s Black in the book… (see also Mr Rochester).
