Fantastic. Though dated, also is relevant today in UK politics. Well written and acted. Robert Lindsay and Michael Palin at their finest.

“You’ve only read one book.” Brilliant about any form of extremism.

We see it today in america where the only book people have read is the bible . Seen it here in ireland too

GBH stands for "Grievous Bodily Harm" (police term) or "Great British Holiday!"

I can remember watching this when it came out, and met Alan at a talk about the filming of this, and what he says about “The further left you go the more right wing you become" is so true (especially of today) - just look at the world we live in today: it is a mess with lions led by donkeys.

The idea that right wing equals violent extremist is however strong proof of how much already then people were inundated with the poisonous lies of communist manipulators.

Michael, you rocks! ;)

Is this GBH or the one about Derek Hatton, played by Robert Lindsay?

It was really. Unofficially but clearly this was supposed to be Liverpool and Hatton kind of character.

I agree.

But true none the less.

@mramirez1974 Ah, I see the old comment. Looked it up on imdb: title tt0101104

Political fictional drama. Made and set in 1990, Liverpool / Blackpool/ Fleetwood in the North West Of England, UK for anyone outside the UK looking at this.

I'm from Liverpool and thanks to Alan Bleasdale for giving us this fiction not based on fact honestly.

Its from a serie called GBH. Its fiction.

You've came here to watch this clip which is a powerful monologue about the parasitic ideology of far left politics (and touching upon the horse shoe theory) which exists within democratic socialist parties.
