We are not all Blairites or Bennites

I am getting fed up with people think that in the Labour Party you are either a New Labour Blairite or an Old Labour Bennite, like the media seems to protray the party as, it is simply not true, there is an alternative within the party from the two extremes, be it the extreme right of the party with Blairism and the Blairites or the extreme left of the party with the Bennite idealogy and Bennites.


There are still people inbetween the two extremes in the Labour Party, either on the right of what was Old Labour or on the left of what is New Labour, the people who do not think competition in the NHS is the correct and is against the core believes of the Labour movement, the people in Labour who oppose the Education Bill (the one that needed Tory support....which saids alot about what the Bill is about), the people who oppose Nationalisation but also oppose further Privatisation, the ones who support stronger redistribution of Wealth, the ones who support a slow, progressive increase in the minimum wage and not a dirty great big increase that will be disasterous, the ones who want to support the Trade Unions without going back to the days of the 1970s, those who support the new Clause IV, those of us who believe PFIs are disasterous for public services, those of us who want a modern Labour Party that has mordern Labour vaules but think that Blairism has pushed the Party so far towards the right of politics that it does things which no other Labour government would do, but we also know that we cannot go back to Michael Foots' Labour Party of the 1980s, but a pragmatic centre of the Party which neither the Blairties or Bennites belong too.

I know that many people in New Labour believe that if you don't want a concrete statue of Tony Blair errected in the Middle of London (that is a statue in the image of Tony Blair and not Tony Blair himself covered in Concrete....) then you must be a far left wing loony socialist who wants to go back to the 1980s and renationalise everything and give into the trade unions, like John Ried keeps trying to scare us with ("ooooo, we must keep Tony Blair because anyone who speaks out against him and wants him to go is a dangerous Old Labour boogyman....booooo, scary, back into 40 billion years of oppisition, if Tony Blair goes, Trae Unions running the counry, we wikll have spring, summer, Autums and Winters of discontent, Zombies will wlak the Earth, Criminals will run riot, everyone will be running around in rags, terrorists will be blwoing us up every day under Old Labour, Old Labour will declare Athur Scargill the lord ruler elite of all of the UK, raise the minimum wage by £100,000,000 daily, nationalise everything and everyone and do...oooooo nasty things to your children....Only Blair can stop these bunch of people in straight jackets")

Of course this is not true and is nothing but scare tatics, trying to scare the Labour Party members, pragmatic MPs, AMs, MSPs, MEPs, and the electolrate, I personally hopes that this scare tatic by the delucded Blairites (and Blairites are getting more and more deluded by the day) do not work, Labour cannot take any more Blairism, it is killing the party, taking us back to the 1980s.

I fear for the future of the Party if Blair stays on any longer then early 2007, or if another Blairite takes over after Tony, however only time will tell....

Who Wants To Be A Tory Bastard?

Well the Tories have drawn up an "A-list" of pillocks....I mean people who want to join "Dave" David "Flip-Flop" Cameron "the Chamelion" and appearently one of the names on it acording to the media, on the list is the FAILED Soap "Star", Come FAILED Pop "Star" and soon to be FAILED Tory Cannidate; Adam Rickett, the so-called "Ego-Warrior" Zac Goldsmith (How are the Tories Green?)

So lets look at the three people, Adam Rickett, who is a probably reasonable well-off failure who would lack to see tax breaks for himself and the rest of the rich few friends, and I am sure Rickett will just be their to get votes for looks "Oh look at me, my name is Adam Ricket, ladies please vote for me, I got boyish looks and a six pack, I dont know much about politics but I got a six pack, our policies don't matter because I look sexy and you should vote for me on that" it is obvious that is why he is on the list, a washed-up "famous" person, and I guess he is just a normal right wing, middle class Tory, that just so happends to be young, good looking and have a six pack and Cameron hopes that people are shallow enough to vote for that. (If he does think that he will be greatly mistaken, the British people are Very Intelligent and care about the Policies of the Party, and not just the looks of the cannidates)

The next one is the "Ego-Warrior" Zac Goldsmith, excuse me but why is an "Ego-warrior" joining a total un-green Party, a party that is folling people it is green. Cameron is a hyprocrite, he rides on his bike, while he has a CAR following him carring for HIM a clean shirt, and a pair of shoes, now what is the point of riding your bike while having your car following you? That is a pointless exercise just to get photographs and look popular, while Cameron is just the same old Blue unegological Tory, the fact that he flies to the Anartic for a photograph about the ice caps melting, when air travel is a cause of global warming, so its a bit ironic just for a couple of photographs Cameron helps melt theice caps.

Search and Rescue Privatisation? What is next? The Fire Service? Police?

So the government now wants to Privatise helecopters in Search and Rescue, well what a good idea, lets privatised live saving organisation, you could have a t-shirt being sold "I was saved by Canadian Copeters, Sponsored by Snickers" better yet, lets have the same problems that Blair's PFIs and PPPs have caused in the NHS and Education, so that means that the helicopter will be 1 hour and 15 minutes too late and find the poor sod has fallen to his death, or the helicopter flies to the wrong place after a privatised SAR computerised location company gets bad information from a privatised call centre for the SAR, so they into the wrong information into the computer, which just so happends to be very badly bugged, so instead of going to rescue someone in Snowdon they end up looking off the coast of North England.

Have the government learnt anything for the terrible PFI programmes? Such as the recent Oxygen tank scandal where the Oxygen tank failed to turn up to the right address or turned up too late, or any other PFI that gones balls up (Oh so many to choose from)

You never know we may end up cowboy rescuers, maybe they will have an anwser phone "I am sorry, the offices of SAR are open from 0850 - 1700 please call back tomorrow, or leave your name and where you are stranded and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Prehapes the case might be the helicopter comes but they don't have the right equiptment "Well, that would been a wench and I don't have that, ueeeeeth, I will need to come back tomorrow, it is a bigger job then I thought and I will need to come back tomorrow...."


I never thought I seen the day when a Labour Government would do this, I sometimes wonder If the government gets it's policies from the Monster Raving Loony Party, or this is all part of some big prank for Channel 4 television (For the past 9 years Britain has believed they have elected a Labour government, but in actual fact its all been an elbrorate hoax, and in fact the the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Chancellor have been actors, pulling a prank on the electorate and the Labour Party as a whole, in our television show, the sequeal to Space Cabinets and the longest running prank ever, Fake Government")
