Alexei Sayle on the far-left revolutionaries..30 years on

[@jamesduffy7549]

"don't call your mother a reactionary running dog of the capitalist class" fucking love it ahahah

[@garsm2290]

Linda Bellos was in fact a good council leader. And Alexei has always been a brilliant comedian. What a good feature.

[@namdraw2]

The interviewer consistently interrupts people he is interviewing. Some had genuine insights into recent history. Quite painful to witness his complete lack of regard.

[@BagMan123]

He’s the worst he just spins everything I wouldn’t give him the time of day a know a few people who did and got burned

[@KaiHouston-m6j]

Towering Ego...smh

[@BuJammy]

It's a seven minute segment.

[@BaileyThinksYourAreAwesome]

The idea of the revolutionary place being turned into a betting shop is precisely what happens when you give up fighting, someone will ride in and capitalise from you :/

[@BuJammy]

Yeah, I'll bet there is a few former BUF meeting places that are now community faith centres.

[@kevinrichards460]

I love the fact that alexi sales leader was called reg. No wonder the judean people's front reference at the beginning

[@nostromoau]

She looks great for mid 60's..Obviously having a mission in life is very healthy,

[@anthonymorgan6255]

Possession by demons will do that for you.

[@BagMan123]

Seeing the inside of compendium book shop Camden brings back some memories

[@genxman7211]

Alexi is still a good Marxist

[@dobly58]

The millions in mass graves across Communist Europe might have a different view.

[@anthonymorgan6255]

Oxymoron. Emphasis on moron.

[@petebondurant58]

There are no good Marxists.

[@petebondurant58]

@@dobly58 Do not forget about the mass graves communists made throughout Asia either.

[@drwhatson]

There's no such thing as a good Marxist.

[@circlenone]

why doesn't this interviewer shut up and let people talk

[@steveholmes3471]

Ello john got a new motor !

Hey, didn’t you kill my brother?

[@davis7099]

5:20 Bellos owns many houses now. Has set up her son nicely and works using her black activist credentials with the British Army as a consultant on race issues and recruiting. Nice work Linda.

[@cou1202]

I’d rather she owned them than Boris Johnson, Trump, Netanyahu, Starmer or Putin.

[@anthonymorgan6255]

​@@cou1202So you admit she is corrupt by the comparisons you use.

[@rangerquiet6192]

Why did the interviewer continually interrupt Linda Bellos? She barely got to finish a sentence.

[@littleowlbooks8514]

The interviewer can't ask a question and dyes his hair

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

I loved the seventies and eighties, crazy days. And utterly laughable, not one of us ever grew up!

[@celticmugwump]

And now he marches at the back selling the radio times and snorting pot noodle, awww Alexei we love you comrade

[@eleveneleven572]

I'm not communist or even Left but it's funny how Sayle, now he's rich, disavows those people. 😂

[@oldmate3152]

"communist royalty" ah the irony

[@stephenelkington4971]

I too was in the CPB [ML]. What a lot of nonsense it all was.

[@dreamdiction]

[@Jellyroll66]

Did the primal screamers shout at the idiocy of the Maoists ? lol

Thank God Linda Bellos is n`t sitting still.

Is this a version of abstract irony I haven't caught up with yet? It wasn't that funny.

[@chrisblack4977]

I always love Alexi's and like the guy the guy presenting it but wish the other angry lot talked about child grooming.

[@bigjob7551]

Somebody tell me what's good about this.

[@TheSleepLes]

I am so happy to hear that there used to be a time when British communist party was virtually nonexistent. Wish it was so still. Everywhere.

Mass delusion didn't go away - it just evolved into mass psychosis. :-(

[@juliandenormanville5225]

Does Alexi realise what Mao actually inflicted on his people?

[@capt.bart.roberts4975]

Yes he's an intelligent man, in the seventies Mao had not fallen so far from Grace then.

[@jsquire5pa]

And would you rather be born in India now or China?

[@theoriginaldanalogue]

@@capt.bart.roberts4975he’d still murdered tens of millions by that point.
