Labour's sinking ship
"Classic Labour" now there's a phrase.........which era was this then ? 1929-31, 1945-51, 1980-1993 ? Hard to tell whether it was when Boris Ponomarev came as "Observer" to a Labour Conference or when Bono held court.
The fact is political parties are inflatable castles and nothing more, the air is leaking from them because they are no longer in touch with reality, but are simply adjuncts of think-tanks/lobbyists like the IPPR..........
Who cares whether Labour is "classic", "sugar-free", or "lite", or "full of tofu" ? It is this marketing-speak and this media rubbish that is getting tiresome - the boring columnists, the tedious propagandists, the whole 1980s package of media and advertising..............it is hollow and it is boring and frankly most people just want to get away from it and retreat into their own private world.
People are fed up of basically incompetents cavorting around and looting the public purse. It is clear that government is run by dunderheads and people with low ethical standards who grow rich in "public-private" partnerships. They not only loot public funds to favour their friends, but imperil national security by sending ill-equipped troops to war and having absolutely no border security and a risible house of cards in The Home Office.
If ever a country could revive the Carry On series of films it would be the Central Office of Information showing the knaves at work like termites in a woodpile.
