Probably the best thing that ever happened to the former. Love watching his programmes and listening to his podcasts as he has such a fascinating back story. Both parents who were fervent socialists, he himself was a Labourite before becoming thoroughly fed up with Labour during the latter stages of the Wilson government and defecting to the Tories. One of the reasons given was the appointment of the milk snatcher as leader as he thought at the time it was fantastically progressive to have a female leader. Interestingly when he went back to spain to do his railway show he wore the colours of the Republican Flag during the civil war. See there is still a lefty in there somewhere. He was tipped up as a potential leader. A definite chosen one of Thatcher. I remember being absolutely blootered in Strathclyde Union when he lost his seat. It was fucking pandemonium! Lager showers and folk going tonto. Unforgettable scenes. But I really enjoy his tv shows and away from frontline politics he seems a really decent guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Thursday was always a big night back then, not just in the union but at a lot of the clubs in the city as well, and 17 year old me could basically get blootered for a tenner. I had a tutorial at 10am on a Friday that I don't think I attended if I remember correctly. I was very lucky to get through first year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you could easily drink yourself to the point of Jon Bonham levels of alcohol poisoning for pocket money prices all day. Thursday's were great nights in Glasgow! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
