You shouldn't generalise so much...there are plenty on the "left" who abhor the excesses of say Hamas, Assad, Netanyahu and the Daily Mail.

What is rather worrying is when those on the right,who are quick to abhor say Hamas,have difficulty when it comes to seeing why terming the Supreme Court judges who merely upheld traditional English law,as "enemies of the people" has echoes of both a Hitleresque and a Stalinesque attitude towards democratic norms and the rule of law..

Whilst the Mail has many opinions and a bias that actually dominates its news, rather than opinion coverage, my principle problem with the Daily Mail is that its poorly written, poorly presented and exists solely to flatter its audience into thinking they're not reading a tabloid newspaper.

It is to journalism, what Dan Brown is to literature.

Sadly this is probably true, when the Lords actually do their job, then the tendency seems to be to call for reform. The Lords only returned it with 'comments' that were perfectly reasonable.

The problem seems to be that having now narrowly won the Brexit referendum, a significant percentage of the leave campaign seem to think that's sufficient to achieve that exit, irrespective of the costs or terms.

Of course the Mail is biased towards the Conservative Party. No newspapers are useful news sources anymore – they are always out of date compared to the internet, radio etc. I guess you could call it ‘ silly right wing tabloid with a strong anti-immigration bias’ just as you could call the Guardian ‘a silly left wing broadsheet with a strong pro-immigration bias’.
Well you should hate communism. To not hate it is like saying I don’t hate fascism, or I don’t hate slavery. ‘About as flawed as capitalism’ is just nonsense, it is of great magnitudes more flawed than capitalism, just read accounts of life under the ‘system’.

Yeah they were really all about the delivery of the power into the hands of the people. Like Lennin before them, they may have like to present themselves as Communists, but the only thing they were interested in was their own glory and power. Just like Hitler who professed to be all about the German People, but really it was just his ideal view of the German people that just so happened to be all about power and control over the people by absolute means.

Of course Lenin, Stalin and Mao were sincere communists. They implemented textbook Marxist ideas; all means of production, distribution and exchange in the hands of the state and the dictatorship of the proletariat (ie: government by terror). They sincerely believed the lunatic ideas of Marx would actually work. Of course as it became increasing clear that communism did not work, they increased the terror.
