Putting the red in Redamberandblack! Keep the red flag flying high.

Last time I looked Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner weren't Trotskyites or Communists or Marxist Leninists.

You surely are not being serious. It is the like of these people that have resulted in this countries fall into the slum that it has become over the past sixty years or so.

Yes and nowt to do with Thatcher, Major, Blair, Cameron et al?

Yes, they are the opposite side of the same coin. Both communism and globalised multinational big business are the enemies of the people.

Jimmy Carr ruined it as usual.

Bourgeois liberal lackeys of international Jewry.

Well we are short of songs at Odsal....

I found them via rlBrad DeLongrl, who is rlfar from a nutjobrl. Not his figures though, he's just talking about them.

I looked because I thought they were nonsense at first. China ought to be way highest, given the famines in the late fifties and early sixties that directly resulted from the Great Leap Forward. Including those would double China's figure, but presumably they fall under the "incidental" deaths he talks about, i.e. where death is an unintended consequence of action rather than the primary motivation. Bombing campaigns that hit civilians are somewhat conveniently caught out the same way.

They're still guesses though. I seriously doubt they can get the Soviet Union that high without also including the famines that resulted from their policies.

Whoa Boys - I only asked who might be our No 10. Take a chill pill.

whoever it is, he won't be English

Shame. Looks useful, and fearless
