An easy mistake to make if your social circle consists of other Spectator contributors to be fair.

There’s a cargo cult aspect to his team, and the Labour Right more generally. Punching the left has been associated with success in the past, so punching the left therefore leads to success in itself.

Yep. My 8 year old said “we” like Labour last week and I pushed back on that.

You laugh, but that ape is now worth as much as 10% of what he paid for it.

“But it might work for us.” - every Irish third party entering a coalition government.

I think the Green Party are the only party of any size that couldn’t be included in a Sinn Fein/Labour family tree.

And a party that predates Sinn Fein and absorbed the remnant of the original version (Labour).

It would also be political suicide for any party to actually campaign against reunification.

His rewrite of the Last Crusade seems to have been responsible for basically every memorable line. www.creativescreenwriting.com/indiana-jone...

It just doesn’t feel like a gig venue, and then there is the broader Watford problem that for slightly more travel time you could go to a better venue in London. E.g. Ronnie Scott’s is an hour door to door from my house.

I work for a plc and I’m sure if I accidentally released our results before the market had been informed it wouldn’t be treated as a storm in a teacup!

Sean Connery was born on 25th August 1930, so to maintain consistency the new Bond needs to be 95 years old.

This reminds me of Elton John getting the Watford Hospital Radio commentary over the phone wherever he was on tour.

The Nazi taboo also went along with a stereotype of what a racist looked like - skinhead, football hooligan, tattoos etc. As you got into the 90s those people barely existed outside a very ostracised sub culture, which ironically let people like Farage use the camouflage of a suit and tie.

Probably the 4-3-3. I don’t think anyone in the squad is a convincing out and out left winger apart from Vata.

The use of easily recognisable slurs *might* be more damaging than the earlier stories which relied on people understanding what the Horst Wessel song was.

But unfortunately it is less of a struggle in a 5 party system than it was in a 2.5 party system.
