New Battle - The Right v The Left

[Cricko]

Andrew Carnegie

I prefered his brother Dale..the very root of all ..:winking:

 

[Crabby Shrimper]

There is none

So where would you place someone like Joseph Chamberlain?

A fairly radical liberal with an interest in many sociological issues, who was also a staunch imperialist?

 

[Napster]

Mike Illitch
Warren Buffet

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Suggestions for liberal/lefties....

John Stuart Mill
William Gladstone
John Maynard Keynes
David Lloyd George
Herbert H Asquith

would also suggest George Orwell and Billy Bragg.

Can't be bothered to take part myself though.

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

I'll take John Major, crusher of back bench dissent and first rate love machine.

"Vicious in defeat,unsparing in victory" was a quotation I remember about him from A level History days.Not exactly a middle of the roader then.

Herbert H Asquith

I'm hoping someone takes you up on that as middle-initialers are always something of an easy target.

He did love a currie (Edwina)

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Rusty - Right Wing - Margaret Thatcher

 

[BrettieAngell]

BrettieAngell -left wing Joseph Stalin

 

[Pubey]

BrettieAngell -left wing Joseph Stalin

I quit the left wing team. What's admirable about the mass murder of millions, probably even more than the holocaust??

 

[Napster]

Great tache.

Napster - Left Wing - Chairman Mao

 

[Firestorm]

Left Wing

Michael Foot
Tony Benn
Paul Foot

I didnt realise morality was coming into this?

To be fair, the right wing do have Hitler, so Brettie's just sort of balancing it out - one mass murderer to counter their mass murderer.

on a totally different note,

I'm considering nominating the Dalai Lama for the left...

 

[BrettieAngell]

For the record Stalin murdered alot more people than the Holocaust.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

For the record Stalin murdered alot more people than the Holocaust.

And Mao murdered more than Stalin. So that makes it 2-1 to the left in the genocide World Cup. I would argue that Hitler belongs to the left, with his anti-semitism, environmental nonsense and big government/state ownership economics.

 

[Napster]

Hitler is a leftie

Well estimates vary Stalin could be up to 35 million, don't know about Moa to be honest.
