    Far left?

    He thinks of his fellow man, he believes in community and society, for the good of all.

    You're a poor excuse of a man compared to him.

    Yes he is a good old fashioned passionate socialist from a traditionally 'working-class' background (a personal preference).
    He is not 'far left' he is a socialist.

    The internet isn't bad.. People are. The internet just exposes this.

    This Smith fella hates capitalism and hates the word ‘aspiration’.
    He hates business people.
    If it was left up to him we would still be living in a one down two up slum.
    He should realise what capitalism and aspiration has done for him - for example he wouldn’t have got to 95 year old without them.
    He’s an intelligent fella that’s playing a tune that he knows certain sectors of society will dance to.

    Have you read his book? I have & I think he is an incredible person. I'm proud he comes from Barnsley.

    You do realise that it was the state that cleared private landlord slum housing and built modern homes to replace them?

    Some people have aspirations built on more than greed.

    You can use wealth in different ways.

    Having billions in the bank makes you unwealthy and unhealthy in many ways.

    Some points you make are not completely idiotic.

    But the way you make your points makes you come off as a complete simpleton. That's the reason that nobody takes you seriously.

    No I haven’t read his book.
    But I did follow him on Twitter.
    He is giving the Labour Party a bad name - like many in the Labour Party are currently doing.
    Reason being - that they are trying to fall in line with Corbyn.
    Any that have a slightly different opinion are getting punished eg Angela Smith MP.

    WOW. Your logic is quite frankly bizarre. What on earth has this man got to do with the vote of no confidence against Angela Smith?
    If you don't like the bloke, actually talk about something he has said / tweeted. This is horse sh!te.

    He's less than unintelligent when it comes to football, too.

    The double negatives in your post have me wondering whether you seek to bury or praise.

    Perhaps I'm more or less less than unintelligent.

    I did not link Smith with Smith.
    Yer can’t read.

    Bit like High Noon again for me on here.
    Many who have read Harry Smith stuff will know what I’m saying but are keeping their heads down.

    And I quote:

    His son has just posted ‘it’s mortal’ on Harry’s twitter feed. Looks like he’s not long for this world.
    Good on you Harry, lad. Sleep easy pal, we’ll take it from here...
