    For all their faults, I still remember these people, they had some real personality.

      Yes, fancy being able to say what you think, without worrying about being screeched at by "offended" Twitter hordes the second you dare to mention any hate-facts.
      Those sorts existed, of course, but were rightly considered to be on the lunatic fringe, and ignored accordingly.

      Or Paddy Backdown, as Dennis Skinner called him during the 92 election when he called on his supporters to vote tory to keep labour out.
      I can't help thinking in these clips he reminds me of a made for TV bliar clone. Yuck.

    12:49 Amazing how we think of Paddy as someone with great political gravitas, but here he trailblazing as the modern shapeshifting politician changing his views to suit the moment.

    It's Paddy Backdown, as I love Dennis Skinner repeatedly referring to him during the 1992 election night coverage as it became clear that everything had gone pear-shaped.
