OT Clarkson. You couldn't make it up!

Socialism constantly changes. Every time it is set up it fails. But the half wits think if they change it a bit it can be made to work. So every few years we get a different manifestation.

But socialists are too dense to undertand that the basic concept is bollix.

Exactly so. They specialise in telling people what they want to hear, not the truth. Just like socialists.

Private Eye has said that about all newspapers for years. That's because Private Eye is effectively written by these "experienced staff", who use it to bitch about the fact that they are losing their cosy jobs to the younger generation.

A heck of a lot closer than they have been for quite a few years.

LOL. You see, I told you he wouldn't! Predictable as always. Thanks Harry!

Well, you may be right, but I'd struggle to remember anything less likely than the Grauniad being "classical liberal".

It's the only paper I won't pick up if someone's left one on the train.

By nature, if you think about it. As does every other doctrine. If it has any sense.

Unions don't appoint - and never have - parliamentary candidates.

They can and do sponsor MPs, though. No different from business doing the same.

You mean as it is today or as it will be after a large number of union-appointed candidates get elected to Parliament?

They can, and have done, pack out local party selection meeetings.

Oh sure. I'll believe you, thousands wouldn't.

Candidates. And how does "business" sponsor candidates?

A rather naive view, Dave. They might not _explicitly_ appoint candidates, but there are umpty-seven ways in which the union's "preferred" candidate can be an absolute shoe-in.

The selection of a replacement for Eric Joyce in Falkirk in 2013 was simply an unusually incompetent and blatant attempt.

Then they do so as party members.

Anyone can be a candidtate.

If those union members are also party members of course they have a vote. Why would it be otherwise?

Like Boris attempting to push aside a local candidate?

It published Edward Snowden's revelations in defence both of freedom of information, and the freedom of the ordinary citizen from overzealous and quite possibly illegal surveillance by an overmighty State.

Whether you agree with them or not its evident that no other UK newspaper has seemed all that bothered, about this.

Its just won a Court Case following a two year campaign to publish the contents of Prince Charles letters to Govt. Ministers in defence again of freedom of information and open goverrnment.

The only other broadsheer campaigh of comparable significance to Snowden in recent years has been the Telegraph's scoop on MP's expenses. However in this case nobody is interested in Freedom of Information or anything of the kind. All anyone is interested in is MP's with two houses switching their mortgages around and MP's with ?500 toilet seats.

But the point about the "Telegraph" titles is that they had a much older core readership than any of the other qualities. Precisely the sort of readers who are going to be driven away by uneccessary innovation of any kind.
