In those days, it was funded by Moscow gold, in a manner so secretive that many high up in the party didn't know about it. Today, it calls itself the organ of the Labour Party. It claims to be funded as a co-operative, by its readers. In an age when mainstream newspapers are fighting for survival, (some have gone to the wall already), I find it hard to believe that the Morning Star is surviving funded by the few people who read it. So, the question is, who's funny money is behind the Morning Star today?Note 1. I don't expect anyone to be able to tell me.Note 2. There were two communist parties. The organ of the other, the Communist Party of Great Britain, was Marxism Today. less

He said he had a plan to take out ISIS. With neither of those claims to make would his only schtick be DRAIN THE SWAMP AND LOCK HER UP?
One person has an IQ of 150 while another may have one that is 90. Is it always a function of the health/perfection of the DNA? Are there any other factors that drive such differences?
Humans are a very complex species. Many of them are quite delightful and a few are very irritating. Fortunately the irritating ones are few and far between. Lucky me! :)

It's very disappointing to meet someone with a great positive moniker who is nothing like the name and who is constantly negative/insulting/miserable. SIGH. Maybe people should be named accordingly and not take on an attribute like joy or hope or grace at a very young age. Name them Sarah or Gertrude or Hortense. That wouldn't disappoint anyone! :(

We need care, conversation or just a smile or hug...I want to shed my own views of previous thinking that asking means you are inferior... No one is ever inferior, for anything..
