  1. The Workers Party of Britain might be interested to know that trade unions are effectively banned in Russia.

  2. I would say that annexing someone else's territories for their human, agricultural and mineral resources is 100% wrong personallly. And I said it in an academic way. The reality is sheer horror.

  3. The Workers party guy went from talking about talking about having solidarity with eastern Europeans to saying, why should we send troops to defend other people.

  4. On Putin's birthday in fact.

  5. They are RT viewers confirming the truth of the horseshoe model, that the extreme left and extreme right are very close.

  6. Except it didn't, but whatever frees you from your guilt I guess.

  9. No, he did however mention some ninth century vikings, and some nice myths he likes to believe in.

  10. ​ @thedeadmoneyallstars he wasn't removed, he fled so he didn't have to face his Parliament the next day and explain why he hadn't signed the deal with the EU his government was elected to get, and which it had been negotiating for 5 years. He diidn't sign the deal because Putin put him under pressure not to. We can imagine how.

  11. I would have asked the Worker's party guy about his attirude to LGTBQ rights.

  12. 1) We don't condone the Iraq war. The largest protest in our history was against it. 2) The Iraq war wasn't conducted by "the west", but by 4 countries; the US, Poland, Britain, and Canada. Other "the west" countries opposed it, notably Germany and France.

  13. Putin is a product of the KGB and white imperial nationalism. Listen to him. NATO was founded to counter that.

  14. Well; even saying "the west" is buying Putin's propaganda. We use it to identify countries with western institutions, which included Russia till recently. Putin wants us to understand it as some conspiratorial cabal of English speaking nations, with a few friends, bent on destroying Russia, family life, and Christianity.

  15. They didn't mentuin LGTBQ and trade union rights in Russia I noticed.

  16. Agree; I would have asked them what their advice would have been to Neville Chamberlain at Munich, and how they regard Russia's position on LGBTQ and workers' rights (Russian workers have the lowest employment protection and face the highest income inequality in Europe, and LGTBQ people are fleeing the country btw.)
