Marxism in Labour party has more in common with Groucho than Karl

Responding to John McDonnell's speech today, Liberal Democrat Shadow First Secretary of State Alistair Carmichael said:

"John McDonnell seems to think it's 1917, not 2017.

"But the Marxism we're seeing in the Labour party right now has more in common with Groucho than Karl.

"Groucho Marx once said that politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. That could easily have been written with Jeremy Corbyn's Labour in mind.

"Labour has failed as an opposition and is now utterly unelectable.

"The only home for moderate Labour voters is the Liberal Democrats. We are the only party that can challenge Theresa May and provide the strong opposition Britain needs."

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
