The predictable death of Labour England

Who cares about the New Labour Party - but at least if it's coming into being was nothing to do with the grass roots and the actual people it was meant to represent, let its demise be determined by those same, neglected people. But no, the ruling elite is calling the shots still, and pulling the plug on the whole sickening facade. "Sir Gerry [Robinson], a businessman who last gave money to Labour in 2005, told BBC News Mr Brown had put it in "probably an impossible position to come back from". That may well be but these rich fuckers should stay out of it.

"Sir Gerry, a former chairman of Granada television and drinks giant Allied Domecq who last year star starred in BBC TV series "Can Gerry Robinson Fix The NHS?", was among four party backers to speak out against Mr Brown's leadership in the Sunday Times.
They included businessman Sir Maurice Hitter, who told the newspaper Mr Brown did not have the "charisma" to lead the party and Sir Christopher Ondaatje, who attacked Mr Brown over his handling of the Northern Rock crisis.
Another donor, Everton chairman Bill Kenwright, told the newspaper the party had suffered an "energy bypass" and the leadership needed a "quantum change".
On Friday, Lord Levy, Mr Blair's former chief fundraiser, also suggested the party should change its leader, in an interview with BBC2's Newsnight.
But Alan Johnson, who will announce plans to end the "postcode lottery" for drugs in the NHS on Monday, insisted Mr Brown was still the right man to lead the country. "

It's scum like this who infected the party right at the time they knew Labour, anyone, could defeat the Tories. They got fat off the proceeds and now are shifting their ugly snouts and sniffing the Tories arses by distancing themselves from the Labour cadavre. It is a sign, all the same, that the ruling elite are, pleasingly, falling out amongst themselves as their cherished system splits at its bloated seams. Ho ho.


But, honestly, theses unelected upper class bastards almost make you want to support Gordon Brown if you didn't already hate the damned lot of them. It's a sorry terminus for the party but it brought the whole shit shower down on its own head. The illusion of British politics must continue - the people must be given the illusion of democratic change, and hence the Labour Party must be once again consigned to political oblivion. Until the Tories fuck it all up again and the sorry cycle repeats itself. Roll on the revolution.
