Ketamine is a shite high imo, get wobbly legs and stop talking. Do too much and end up in a weird place, then apparently it’s class when you come back. Nah, not for me.

Pilger came out of the late 60s student revolutionary scene and never left it (same as Corbyn) . Lately a ludicrously flawed and compromised fuckin idiot. His early campaigning work was often brilliant though…no one else was really bringing  attention to what was going on in the likes of Cambodia or East Timor. Without the likes of Pilger western imperialism in Asia and the Pacific would have largely just gone ahead unchecked. He wasn’t the only one but he mostly worked for the Daily Mirror, the biggest selling tabloid on the planet at the time when everyone read newspapers. His audience was huge. Like Corbyn he was in thrall to all types of socialism/communism/marxism all his life. He never grew out of it and in the end it utterly blinded him to its affects and consequences.
 

His journalistic methods and motivations were often questionable. It’s not news to me that he was a bit of cunt. His anti western obsession did however shine a light on some important issues.

Yeah, a brilliant polemicist but too idealistic. And he’d definitely lost the plot in later years.

I had that toy car too. I used to love the show but all I can really remember is Huggy Bear, the cardigan and the the opening and closing titles, especially Hutch leaping onto the the roof of a car and landing arse first for no apparent reason. And loads of bits of paper flying around as they drove at high speed down some back alleys then did some donuts :lol:

They also had the archetypal loud black captain who was always threatening to take their badges and guns for not playing by the book.

They’re all the best bits tbh. 
 

There was one episode I remember where they had to look after a load of strippers who were getting killed. 
 

 

No idea why that particular episode stood out in my young mind :whistling:

That sounds like my memories of it tbh. The toy car was found in a garden where the people had shifted and left some of their shit in the garden. One man's shit, another boys treasure. :lol:
