I'm not a communist or an anarchist, LOL, but I come from a very working class background and managed to get to a 'posh' university full of upper-middle class marxist posers who would giggle at the oik who couldn't pronounce 'material dialecticism' properly in tutorials. This was at exactly the same time the Islington crew were taking over Labour.
Over the years I've lost my working-class roots and become pretty comfortably middle-class, so it doesn't anger me so much. But I'll never lose sight of the fact that the working class need a party to properly represent them.
Don't forget that the Lib Dems (or rather the "Dems" bit) came from the "Gang of Four" who famously defected from Lie-Bour when they were sinking into Marxist-Communism, and Arthur Scargill was the hero.
Maybe the Lib Dems ARE what Labour were ? Labour are cirtainly far more "right" than the Lib Dems these days (and are too right for some Conservatives too !) |

Tessa Jowell currently being put through the mincer by Andrew Neil on the BBC. Pathetic. As far as politicians go only Lech Kaczynski has had a more uncomfortable experience this week. Embarrassingly poor performance by the Olympics Minister. |

It makes my blood boil seeing nuLabor trying to pretend that the conservatives are significantly more elitist and privilaged than they are.
Bliar totally transformed the labour party from a party that both represented and was to a large extent represented by the working class, into an upper middle-class clique that no longer believes in material equality (the rich have got far richer under labour) and instead think that social justice consists in little more than demonizing anything that smacks of 'traditional values' and in policing what we think and say.
So they had one working class buffoon charicature to keep the masses happy (John Prescott). To show that NuLabor was still true to its working class roots. LOL!
I fully support Rikki Tomlinson's campaign to stop a posh 28 year old Islington socialite from being forced on to the people of Liverpool as their MP.

If the BNP end up determining the outcome of this election through voting in Labour marginals, then NuLabor frankly deserves it. |

I'm a bit surprised at the sort of labels being put on Cameron..a 'toff' and so on. I don't give a stuff where he went to school but he will be the next PM and goodbye to the current ghastly crowd of timeservers.
In Chesterfield there is a Labour candidate called TOBY ! Doesn't sound very Council estate to me, does it you?
In Stoke on Trent the Labour candidate is Tristran Hunt - a Winchester-educated person !
Remind me ... which public school did B-Liar go to ? |

I don't think Labour have done a bad job on the economy- Question Time.
He's been keeping an eye on the economy for the last 13 years (in fact he was in charge of the regulator - the FSA).
The problem is ... he must have been using his bad eye ! |
