Charles Moore in the Telegraph… I’m starting to think the left might be right. (warning… contains a horrifying image)
It has taken me more than 30 years as a journalist to ask myself this question, but this week I find that I must: is the Left right after all? You see, one of the great arguments of the Left is that what the Right calls “the free market” is actually a set-up.
The rich run a global system that allows them to accumulate capital and pay the lowest possible price for labour. The freedom that results applies only to them. The many simply have to work harder, in conditions that grow ever more insecure, to enrich the few. Democratic politics, which purports to enrich the many, is actually in the pocket of those bankers, media barons and other moguls who run and own everything.
he’s A Bloody Communist!
Oh Joy ! the sinner repenteth!
Bob, are you voting yes or are you voting no to the most important question put to Labour Party members in the last decade?
We are not allowed to discuss what the question is about and we are not allowed to offer any advice to the question, so just say yes or no?
Gary, I didn’t think you were allowed a vote at all. Anyway, whatever the question, my answer is likely to be ‘no’. If it was anything crucial they wouldn’t be giving us a vote unless they already knew the outcome.
I think this is why we bomb Libya.
But yes, all indications are that they know the outcome.
I hope that Sandwell CLP, like others around the Country, are to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the paperwork they do not wish you to see.
Ian from Newcastle says: “I totally agree with the NEC on everything they suggest”.
Sally from Leeds says: “The NEC have my yes sown up”.
Jack from Norwich says: “Where would we be without our NEC? Count me as a yes”.
Gary from Stoke says: “Here we go again, the NEC railroading change without members”.
I made the bit up about Gary, he’s a traitor.
The others are tghere to be read but no one owns up to being the writers.
