I am still figuring out how twitter works. let me know if this link does not. https://twitter.com/AndreRipois/status/1096365317222215681 I have called This Week "Politics Live" Why? Pure stupidity. As far as WSC executive crimes go the 1943 Bengal Famine surely outranks the events at Tonypandy. The reactionary novelist Josephine Tey tried to make Tonypandy a synonym for leftwing Fake News in her entertaining whodunnit (=not Richard 3) The Daughter of Time. Dishonest Churchill tried to shift the blame for the Dresden holocaust onto the shoulders of honest Bomber Harris. But there are some, including George Galloway, who do not regard Dresden as a crime. Hero-worship can infantilises the best of us. gb
