    Excellent point Darren, but you're forgetting that your taste in music is wrong and punk was just awful. ;-)

    post-punk, cheeky chops.I made a point of mentioning it twice in my post just in case someone got the wrong end of the drumstick. Now, please leave the thread with your Rush albums tucked under your arm. You have no place on a thread that touches on great music.

    Is there anything wrong with not drinking alcohol, drinking carrot juice, eating vegetables or wearing sandals? Doesn't homeopathy do a great deal of good, working at least as well as placebo (which works surprisingly well, even if you know it's placebo, probably because merely to be listened to and sympathised with does you more good than the average trip to the reductionist materialist GP). As for Rush, better leave that to another thread!

    600,000 have registered to vote for the next leader of the Labour partyhttp://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/08/600000-apply-vote-labour-leadership-contest-and-corbyn-will-gainThat's more than the peak membership of the Labour party at 500,000 in 1945.Are they all fairweather friends or evidence of the benefit of open primaries?

    I can't keep my gob shut, I know, but the suspension of stuart is absolutely unnecessary. Please remember who we are, mod.  I move a motion that stuart be immediately reinstated.

    Have an open primary and maybe they will.

    Just to add:  I consider Stuart to be polite and patient and an asset to the forum.  To keep suspending him is simply not cricket {or socialist}

    I second that emotion!  It's quite obvious that he's been discriminated against considering that at least one other user who has contributed to the derailing of the thread has thus far escaped sanction entirely.

    I agree with Vin, and apologies for my  part in the thread which resulted in Stuart being temporarily suspended from posting to the forum.I understand the general rule of keeping on topic – and I don't envy the role that the moderator has to perform –  but I think discretition should be employed sometimes. It was a temporary – and lighthearted –  detour from the topic at hand.

    I have to break the rules and agree. The last bit of moderation of this thread was unnecessary and rather OTT as far as I’m concerned…

    Isn't Corbyn teetotal and a vegetarian and believes in homeopathy? I wouldn't be surprised if he wore sandals and drank carrot juice too.
