		That’s how Ivor Thomas described the British Labour Party in his 1951 book, “<a href="https://amzn.to/30ejWEA" rel="external nofollow">The Socialist Tragedy</a>.” For six years (1942-47), he was a Member of Britain’s House of Commons—representing the very same Labour Party! Prime Minister Clement Attlee even appointed him Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and, later, Under-Secretary for the Colonies. But when Thomas expressed disillusion with <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-socialism" rel="external nofollow">socialism</a> in late 1947, Attlee sacked him. Thomas then switched to the Conservative Party.

	I forgot to mention that other reliable(not) news source Cal avails himself to- Red State... The reason I mentioned The Epoch Times is they're a pack of Trump butt sniffers. They were right along with Trumpie denying he had lost the election for a least a month....
