Spoony's Castro. Hectic's Guevara. Though they're both beardy beret bolshevik bastards.

Spoony's is Castro though
My apologies. My expertise lies mostly with the simultaneously most and least bolshevik of them all.
'Shopped.
...a bit.

Professor Robert Winston?
Social economic mobility is decreasing because western economies have evolved. In decades post WW2 it was easy to get a well paid job without qualifications. In was no so easy to jump into the professional ranks though. These days its hard to get a well paid job but its far easier to get an education and hopefully a profession.
It is - that graphic just points up extent of the decay of opportunity and the ludicrousness of the American dream and Cameron's 'we're all in it together'. The relatively few kids that jump the gap by exceptional efforts emphasizes the massive class barrier.
In more prosperous times, Alastair would be able to afford Beyonce as a girlfriend instead of settling for Kimbra.
Phwooar! I'd cult his personality any day.
He was a looker, there's no denying that.
Apparently wrote quite good poetry too. He was always into literature, used to ring up Bulgakov apparently just for a literary chat every now and again. That must have been quite frightening as things go.
Occasionally, he would 'correct' the work of esteemed poets, authors etc. Gawd 'elp us...
Imagine if every time the landline rung it could be Stalin, ringing for a chat
I'd have topped myself. It's bad enough not knowing if it's my mother...

He left me a crap review on Amazon too.
Spawn of Simon Ritebollox Montefiore.
I loved Montefiore's Stalin: Court of the Red Tsar, Pete. *sobs*
It was a shite biography. Hackery.
We won't be seeing SteveJ around for much longer.
I don't follow.
Fair play, Young Stalin was a bit rubbish, I thought.
Hang on, it was Young Stalin I read
As you were, gimps

I've read Court of the Red Tsar, but my interest is more with Stalinism as a whole, not his personal life.
Haven't read Young Stalin, though.

Apparently Saddam's study was filled with Stalin books
Obsessed with Stalin, convinced he was right about everything, massive tache, liked swimming in rivers... the similarities between Saddam and niMic are quite striking.

A bit - '50 Shades of Red' written by EL James.
Well, the photos were nice.
And just like Saddam, I got an infraction recently by someone named rimaldo for posting a picture of a naked monkey.
It fits perfectly!
Surprised he didn't give you a reward, knowing Rim.
Did you ever have a summer fling with ol' Stalin, pennared?
Just how old do you think I am, young man??
I don't like men with those thick moustaches, anyway. He'd have had to have had a shave before I'd have even gone out for a drink with him. And done something about that hair.
I consider you operating outside of the space-time continuum.
You're just... pennared.

To be fair, Stalin's probably the most handsomest looking dictator ever, at least judging by that second pic.
I've been looking at this from the perspective of a low IQ spazmo and a philistine... but still can't quite work out what a cultureless person is. Is it a person from West Yorkshire? Or a bloke who doesn't like chillis in his lamb karahi? Or perhaps a person who enjoys watching fit African American Carribean female athletes in skimpy lycra clothing?
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was...erm...looking like some poncey poet bloke.
Saddam was pretty damn good-looking, let's be honest. It's the one area where he diverges from niMic.
There's an argument that this thread is a bit fecked up...
You're such a middle class ponce... and you don't even know it, Steve J
I can't imagine living a life so sanctimonious where I literally looked down on any view that wasn't staunch socialist.Che was a sexy beast despite not actually being a dictator. Kim Jong on the hand was probably an acquired taste.
