Posting or threatening to deliver things to Clive's personal address are beyond the pale. There is no excuse for it and I wouldn't blame him for getting the police involved. It's pretty disgusting, to be honest (regardless of what he wrote in any post on any thread here).

Terrible news.

You have got this the wrong way round - the payments are not corrupt, it is the actions taken by a political party influenced by these donations that are corrupt.

Why corrupt?

Exactly. Inequality would have been something much more appropriate from a labour leader (and it would be relevant) but he instead prefers to show the unions he is still in line with them. I don't care if Corbyn, McDonell etc are lunatics but what is worrying is the amount of people (ever...

Simmo, it may have been wrong, the police at their worst etc, but it's not even a footnote in history and what in God's name has it got to do with Theresa May or the electorate of today? It's simply not an important issue with how the country is now, and it sums up Corbyn pretty neatly. He is...

More extremist than UKIP.

Can someone explain to what the relevance of Corbyn's first question was at PMQs yesterday? (on Orgreave) Surely he didn't effectively use his first question on a new PM just to curry favour with union bosses as the new leader election begins?

Agree (but decent intentions all the same) Labour is dead, and the sooner some of the big names/better MPs realise this, and move to take action about a new party the better. Ideally this would be something with the LibDems, a centrist/central left party that could provide adequate or better...

Agree. Labour is dead, and the sooner some of the big names/better MPs realise this, and move to take action about a new party the better. Ideally this would be something with the LibDems, a centrist/central left party that could provide adequate or better opposition. This election (Owen Smith...

Largely a good read Clive but his point about Britain feeling they 'have to' go along with Saudi Arabia is limp and pathetic; it goes along with it for ££££. He should be more clear about this and criticise it with the vigour he criticises Corbyn. Otherwise a good read. Funny he writes for the...

Fair dues Marb. Reminds me of an author I like very much, Antonin Artaud. He spent many years in asylums undergoing electroshock therapy. His letters from Rodez are very beautiful, though very sad/

Clive, you are confusing a sales pitch with internal meetings. No-one else is.

Clive, video conferencing and that whole side of things is very much the way the world (or at least international companies) is moving, and nothing will change that. It creates huge efficiencies in terms of time and cost that even if a little personal contact is lost, people know their jobs so...

Is this it? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jul/16/corbynism-sounds-death-knell-for-labour Very good. Milne has the potential to be the most dangerous man in politics..

This key and it's surprising how little comment this receives in the media. It took only a view votes to Gove for him to have no chance of lasting in the conservative leader race. It's very unlikely he will ever be leader, as the average Tory MP has little time for him (his populist bombant...

This quite funny http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/509c3e34-498d-11e6-8d68-72e9211e86ab.html#axzz4EPOmAojn What an imbecile

Agree - huge political mistake from May here. She could have given Osborne this position, thereby keeping all of the Cameron/Osborne backbenchers onside, and having the slightly important side effact of a much more dignified senior politician with some world standing. Johnson is an of, and is...

Boris lies to the country to get them to leave the EU and is rewarded with one of the top jobs in Government? Hammond a good appointment. Osborne has made sh*t of the economy with his failed austerity policies. I like David Davis too although his article on Conservative Home about Brexit...

Clive - I thought you had left the forum?
