I couldn't understand it at the time - he made my flesh crawl with revulsion, and hypocrisy was all too self evident from the start - and it's been a catalogue of betrayal since. Will the last person with socialist principles please switch the New Labour lights out on leaving.Foolonthehillhttp://www.foolonthehill.oneworldnet.co.uk/index.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17766817.post-83529612084995724132009-04-22T11:45:00.000+01:002009-04-22T11:45:00.000+01:00olcihng: yes, it's certainly a dire state of affai...olcihng: yes, it's certainly a dire state of affairs.<br />david: agreed.<br /><br /><br />douglas: hi there.

I suppose there are still a handful of principled Labour MPs (e.g.that Jeremy something who writes for the Morning Star - excuse me if he's not Labour)who hang on because there's nowhere else to go - the SWP or Respect? Sigh. What a state we're in; the British people are completely defenceless against whatever the next Tory government chooses to unleash. Maybe Cameron will turn out to be a nice guy - some hope!jock mctrousersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17766817.post-49298267009647294982009-04-22T05:55:00.000+01:002009-04-22T05:55:00.000+01:00What will happen to her constituents?
