] Date Posted: 00:27:45 01/28/05 Fri In reply to: Curnoack 's message, "British Empire" on 18:09:29 01/27/05 Thu An American friend of mine has been visiting London this month. Being an East Coast liberal, from Boston in fact, he considers himself to be a bit 'left wing'. He was telling me that, a few days ago, he asked another British friend, a student, which paper he should read while in Blighty which was "quite liberal, but nothing too hard-core". This friend recommended the Guardian. My friend came to meet me for lunch the next day and was spluttering with rage, waving it around like that strange device excelsior and shouting "that thing's not liberal, it's f**king Communist!" Now, I know that the American left occupies the same political ground as the British right, but even so, he was totally unprepared for the rabidly seditious contents or a newspaper which would have drawn censure from Che Guevara or Josef Stalin. I thank Providence that I study at a university at which the Telegraph and the Spectator are subsidised by the Union. Let Curzon Hold What Curzon Helde.

Date Posted: 17:25:30 01/28/05 Fri I often wonder what political party would suit me best if I were ever in the UK, because nothing but small, no-chance-in-hell of winning parties seem to do the job for me in Canada. I'm pretty left-wing when it comes to social programmes and equality of citizens, but fairly right-wing on matters like defence(because wanting your country to be able to defend itself is supposedly a right-wing view) and, obviously, Canada's attachments with the Commonwealth and the Crown(though I'm not sure why this is considered right-wing). Any parties like this in Britain, or is it just wishful thinking? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
