Going to the pub is wrong.

I think you should get round the kitchen table and have a coffee.

Both  sides of your brain are behaving in a reckless and provocative manner.

 

And repeat.

 

And repeat.

 

And repeat.

It saddens me to say but Labour picked a wrong 'un in Ed Milband.  He was my second choice for leader after Burnham, but he's just hasn't got it. 

 

I was pleased when he beat David Miliband but I got bored listening to his acceptance speech.  I really wanted him to do well because at first it seemed like at last the party had someone from the left of the party with ideas.  How wrong was I there!

 

My vague memory of Labour leaders goes back to Harold Wilson and I can recall Jim Callaghan, Michael Foot, Neil Kinnock, John Smith, Tony Blair (before he turned evil) and Gordon Brown.  All of them looked the part and acted the part more than the android like Ed Milband.  Michael Foot might have been out of touch and led Labour to disastrous defeat, but at least he was an idealist and man of principles, with Ed, he just seems to have the same lack of political grounding that Clegg has. If only that was all, he also looks like a rabbit in the headlights every time he faces situations where he needs to communicate.

It's fascinating! I gave Ed both my votes on the basis that any son of Ralph would have a reasonably left wing approach. Alas we have another suit with advisors, and the crisis of hegemony continues. As I said before..... In the next century historians will call this period, The Thatcherite era. I know that the Tories cry Crocodile tears about the last few years but deep down I doubt that they have any complaints about Brown and Blair. The Tories have never had it so good.

Surely said tongue in cheek, one can only hope.

Spot on Garage Joe, Since winning on a leftwing ticket,  Ed seems have thought "Left of the party, me?  I love good old Maggie T as much as the next neo-Thatcherite"

 

The Tories have never had it so good in the sense that Labour were really care-taking for them.   I suppose from their point of view, there's no substitute for really having power and taking all those nice directorships, consultancies and lobby fees. 

 

But you're right, the Tories wanted the banks to be lightly regulated - they were, taxes to stay low for the rich - they did, the rich to cream off almost all the profits from the good times - they did, the public sector to be thrown to the private sector bit by bit - it was, PFI deals to make private industry fatcats richer - there were!

 

Once those policies eniviably failed they came riding in to save the nation from the very dogma they approved of and quietly plan the next phase of the more of the same.

 

We now have the genuine bunch of Thatcherite suits running things rather than the crypto-Thatcherites of Labour. 

 

Sad times!
