Blimey....she has only been in the job for 5 mins and already she has put her foot in it !

So, not just Trump that thinks Putin is an awfully nice chap then !

" she " maybe she understand a wee bit Naomi,and wishes not to be totally bigoted. :-)

[ChillDoubt]

(sigh)
Ich, for the hard of understanding, go back and read my first response to mikey's question. Maybe mikey can answer the questions I've asked of him, or are you going to try and cover for him? He's a big boy you know....

[Zacs-Master]

Who gives a flying f what the new leader of UKIP says? She's about as relevant as a pimple on the ar55se of an ephalump.

[naomi24]

anneasquith, seems not. This is not about admiring Putin, but rather his commitment. Not the same thing at all.

Indeed! Ich et al said the same of Nige prior to the Brexit vote and look what happened??
I'm guessing mikey is having second helpings of pud....

There's no need to be rude Chill. I'm sure Mikey will answer for himself when he's had his curry. But in his absence I was just trying to steer it back more away from Labour Party woes, opportunities to discuss which are plentiful here ;-)
I still don't really understand your original answer but it's Diane James I'd really like to ask. She (probably) isn't here though so I picked on you :-)

[Zacs-Master]

OMG, we're not still giving Narcissistic Nick credit for getting us out of Europe are we?

Aw, did you? And there was me hoping for a battle of wits but you're clearly unarmed! Maybe mikey has been lumbered with the washing up whilst you fight his battle....?

[DTCwordfan]

Is that 'Red Been' Pudding, chill? If so, extra helpings all around then....

[ichkeria]

'Commitment' to what I wonder?

I will, as one commenter at the link also admitted, at least give her marks for honesty (pretending for s moment that she ISN'T) after a cheap headline
But you know she did get asked for 'political heroes' and 'heroes' tend to get you know well sort of 'admired'

Do you not think tho, like Father Ted's lady writer friend once said of Dostoevski in 'Crime and Punushment', that Hitler's 'commitment' wavered towards the end. All that business in the bunker with the suicides ...

[ChillDoubt]

Nah DTC, probably (half) baked Vladaska.

[Old_Geezer]

I expect Stalin was committed too (or should have been).
One can admire characteristics but not a person who misuses them.
I suspect James would do well to clarify what was meant.

I fail to see why she felt the need to make herself look stupid by mentioning Putin ?

You obviously didn't watch the interview did you?

Having now read the Guardian's bull crap I can confirm both the Guardian and you are talking drivel, mikey.

[ChillDoubt]

Talbot,
No need to be so rude.....and don't mince your words, spit it out man! LOL

[Prudie]

I think her comment has been taken out of context. If you asked me to name a great leader Hitler would probably be the first I could think of and if I was a politician I might aspire to being such.

She never mentioned Putin at all during the interview, Prudie.

[Jackdaw33]

That darling of the Left, George Galloway, said much the same about Saddam.

[Prudie]

"She never mentioned Putin at all during the interview, Prudie". Now I'm confused, I'll re-read the thread.

[mikey4444]

Prudie....Hitler a great leader ? A great dictator more like !"

" If you asked me to name a great leader, Hitler would probably be the first
I could think of"

Really ?...wouldn't you think of Churchill first ?"

"if I was a politician I might aspire to being such"

You would aspire to be like Hitler ?

My God....the world has definitely gone completely bonkers ......nighty-night everybody !
