3:19 I have always said that! The political spectrum is not a straight line from left to right. It's circular, so that you can go so far to the left that you wind up at the extreme right.
I can remember watching this when it came out, and met Alan at a talk about the filming of this, and what he says about “The further left you go the more right wing you become" is so true (especially of today) - just look at the world we live in today: it is a mess with lions led by donkeys.
The idea that right wing equals violent extremist is however strong proof of how much already then people were inundated with the poisonous lies of communist manipulators.
How much capital have the Capitalists spent to make sure all of us hate the word "socialism," without knowing the first thing about it? Think about that. How many Cambodians (and millions of others) have died to make sure we hated socialism? Capitalism is the one book.
Political fictional drama. Made and set in 1990, Liverpool / Blackpool/ Fleetwood in the North West Of England, UK for anyone outside the UK looking at this.
@@holydiver73 it's you that clearly isn't too sure. You've came here to watch this clip which is a powerful monologue about the parasitic ideology of far left politics (and touching upon the horse shoe theory) which exists within democratic socialist parties. You've came to watch this video as your clearly curious about it. Happy to debate but it's not 'same thing'. Wise up.

Fantastic. Though dated, also is relevant today in UK politics. Well written and acted. Robert Lindsay and Michael Palin at their finest.

3yrs later to your comment.. it's getting worse...

“You’ve only read one book.” Brilliant about any form of extremism.
We see it today in america where the only book people have read is the bible . Seen it here in ireland too

GBH stands for "Grievous Bodily Harm" (police term)
or "Great British Holiday!"
Un actor único. Lleno de matices . desaprovechado diría yo. Aki brinda clase magistral 😆😚😘😙
Is this GBH or the one about Derek Hatton, played by Robert Lindsay?
It was really. Unofficially but clearly this was supposed to be Liverpool and Hatton kind of character.
Michael, you rocks! ;)
"im no messiah/im no missionary" hahaha considering this is mike....
I always loved that line! Can't not laugh at it.
Gran actor. Lastima no subs. ..😘😔
Y hombre hermoso...expresivo...sexy 😉actorazo! !!!!!!
I'm from Liverpool and thanks to Alan Bleasdale for giving us this fiction not based on fact honestly.
Damn! Now I've watched this, I've got to get out my DVD box set and watch this MASTERPIECE all over AGAIN.
Me gustaría comprender de que se trata. 😢
But true none the less.
I agree.
Read two books...a message for today.

Today...
@mramirez1974 Ah, I see the old comment. Looked it up on imdb: title tt0101104
Its not a speech about socialism it's a speech about far-left politics.
Same thing
@@holydiver73 no it's not
@@Superking.Menthol socialism isn’t far left? Pull the other one. Who are you trying to convince, me or you? 😂😂

@@Superking.Menthol socialism is a far left ideology. It’s certainly not a centrist one.
Its from a serie called GBH. Its fiction.
Also the truth
‘The further left you go the more right wing you become’? Absolute bollocks.
Nazi Party or to give them their full name National Socialist German Workers Party.
The more authoritarian and collectivist you become.
Posh boy who went to public school, Oxford and used BUPA lectures on socialism.
Well, they`re Bleasdale`s words.
What the fuck are you blowing off about?
Palin working for Maggie Thatcher? haha ;)
not a god actor. but i love michael.
obama should listen to this, and reconsider his socialist ideals
Obama isn’t a socialist😂😂😂
Amazing to think that this stupid comment has say here for eleven years and I've just read it now.
Is there anyone so dumb as a trump supporter?
This is a speech in favour of moderate socialism, you yawing spunkweasel.
