His pop career was brilliant.

From what I can gather, this guys are hardcore Trotskyists so they disown Stalin as a "reactionary." Weirdly, they do seem to have some kind of soft spot for Putin though, even though he is running an oligarchy. I guess they just despise NATO more than they do capitalist, Mafia-run Russia for some reason. Interestingly, they feel they are the only true left. All other groups, whether they be hardliners like Socialist Alliance or moderates like the Labour Party, Greens and trade unionists, are all the "pseudo-left" to these guys because they are either prepared to work within the system or have been distracted from economic issues by identity politics. Hence, only Trotskyists like themselves are the true inheritors of the mantle of being the Leftist opposition. That's my take on them from the occassional glance at their website, anyway. I've never been good at ideology, although I gladly admit to being a lefty of the anarchist side. When I was at uni I did some subversive stuff with friends of the Dutch CP, but I didn't quite share their religion. When it became clear to me that the Soviet Union wasn't much better under Brezhnev than under Stalin, even if less genocidal, that friendship soon wilted, although I remained a subscriber to De Waarheid well into the eighties. I see commie jargon hasn't changed much, although I miss jewels like the antagonistic struggle in the Western metropoles, so loved by our German comerades. I well remember the ideologic sectarian strife in the left part of politics. There's a nice part in Python's Life of Brian that illustrates it nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE regards, Hein

1. Terror is quite fun. Its got a lot of really daft lines which I shan't spoil, but yeah, Pip and Jane are actually quite fun if you are in the right mood. It's also got a surprisingly strong cast for that era - Honor Blackman, Denys Hawthorne, Malcolm Tierney and Bellingham/Michael Jayston too. 2. Unfortunately, she gets worse. 1. I have seen Time and the Rani. 2. I have seen Time and the Rani. 1. A good point, well made! 2. A good point, well made!

That's a shame. He was very good in The Invasion as Gregory, a rather panicky scientist who realizes he's been working for both a James Bond style super villain AND the Cybermen. That goes about as well as you can imagine for him. The other roles were more small extra parts iirc.

Not all bad news then.

It's a good job you reported it, no other major news outlet saw fit to take them seriously. So, is Communism fit for the DL 2015? I think it died 20 years ago... Not entirely, I believe, but it has been smelling funny during that time. It appears the news that Russia are no longer the good guys has been completely missed by the people at wsws, if I read their article on some Russian sabre rattling. regards, Hein

Reports the Daily Mail. Oh right. Yeah I was waiting for the first line like that....... Well unless you're saying they faked the tweets in which the guy boasted about the material (despite the fact they were reported elsewhere) then I'm not really sure what your point is.

Reports the Daily Mail.

Hi, newbie saying "hello". Been a lurker for a few years, thought it was time to show my face, so to speak.

We're nowhere near creating artificial intelligence, but if we were, having intelligent things on Earth might actually be a Good Thing. regards, Hein With the state of the world at the moment with the middle east,the general lack of compassion for fellow humans and people like kim kashardian being seen as role models humanity is long since lost. Its actually a good time to be alive as humans are still near the top of the mountain that we are slowly descending. Falling birth rates around the world apart from religious nuts and diseases like ebola and antibiotic resistance spells a very bleak future for all concerned. Who knows in 10000 years time humans may not exist at all and could have been replaced by the machines we created and if so then that is evolution in practice . Human beings replaced the Neanderthal's afterall and someone will replace us . Humans are turning more like machines everyday anyway I see it with every newer generation (yea and i'm only in my mid 20s) people becoming more socially awkward and withdrawn that equals less friends /girlfriends / boyfriends and see japan for their fertility rates and the result of that. But when argumentation comes along if we get that far then what? If a human being has more robotic parts than human parts is he or she still considered human ?

Never mind all that. I just noticed they have a gift shop Now who can I buy this for http://www.kintera.org/site/apps/ka/ec/product.asp?c=juLVJ8MRKtH&b=4782781&en=5eJzEINjE4IIKSPmF3LFKONwElKNJXPtH7JOL3OIE&ProductID=253025 I only know one of them

SH correctly warns again that machines with "Artificial Intelligence" could run amok and end humanity, or at least put us all out of business. Wow........ a film in which a severely disabled man known for his incredibly limited communication abilities and the robotic unintelligibility of his dialogue........... plays a famous scientist.

Liz Smith is definitely worthy of a place as she is 93 in a few days and retired 5 years ago due to stroke damage and hasn`t been seen in public for quite a while.She is definitely Death List worthy due to The Royle Family and The Vicar Of Dibley which where two of the biggest sitcoms of the 1990`s.If Caroline Aherne is added to the list as well they will be the first DL candidates that are on-screen grandparent and grandchild.I think Jimmy Hill is a good choice for next year but not Desmond Morris or John Nash.

Mind,it's what he wanted, he can test the truth of those stories now!

I was once professionally employed to write entries for a rock reference book and her birthdate - as in the year of her birth - proved somewhat elusive. One school of thought suggests she's two years older than she says. Maybe we should cut her in half and count the rings.

Blimey, I don't even like cricket, almost as dull as golf, and I'd never heard of this chap but this has had me pretty choked up this morning for some reason, a total split second freak injury. Just goes to show you never know what's around the corner for you.

I remember him well.He was the scottish Jimmy Hill! And he wiznae a poof.
