    Fair play to Liam he never got involved in all that shite

      I think Liam got the invite to that shindig as well as Noel. Liam was after all lead singer & founding member of Oasis which started when Noel was still a roadie for the Inspiral Carpets. But Liam & Noel probably had a spat just before it so Noel told Liam not to come with him because he didn't want Liam to show him up there. Liam has developed a social conscience in more recent years. Fair play to him. I love how Noel refers to Liam as 'our kid'. It's also a Welsh expression as my father referred to his younger brother as 'our kid'.

      @Bessie Hillum Labour were not responsible for the 2008 banking crash. The tories even came out and said they would have matched their spending if they were in power. So I'm afraid that argument falls flat on its arse.

      I was involved & present at a count where Labour was tipped to win from the Tories. I was a guest of the Lib Dem agent but was going to be a counting agent until I suddenly got a temp job & couldn't get the day after polling day off work. I was with the other guests watching the results come in on TV and seeing Labour win seats they weren't expected to that night but maybe in the next General Election. In Enfield for example.

    Blair first turned to Damon Albarn to get the youth voting Labour but Damon decided he didn't like Blair and saw something dark in his soul. So he distanced himself from New Labour by saying he was a communist. Might have been in jest as he probably was just Old Labour.

    My parents absolutely hated Tony Blair right from when he announced that he was standing in the leadership contest. This despite them being Tory voters. I suspect they would have preferred John Prescott to win the leadership contest even if Labour was set to win the next general election just as much with him as well as well as with Blair. Well at least Prescott was more down to earth & older not a young flashy upstart like Blair. Blair was also what we know call an empty suit.
