He always struck me as like a very nasty version of Tony Benn or Dennis Skinner, both guys I profoundly disagreed with but who at least believed in democracy and the Parliamentary process. Arguably the nadir for me, and revealing their true agenda was Respect Mayoral candidate Lindsey German who claimed that Bush (for all his faults) was 'the most objectionable visitor ever received on these shores' conveniently ignoring both Mugabe and Ceaucescu and doing tremendous damage to the Anti-War movement.<br /><br />Whilst being in favour of some cuts, the current approach appears to be to bend over backwards for globally mobile super-rich oligarchs whose kids are at UK Public schools - it's embarrassing and to be honest I'd cut them loose forthwith, even instigating Healeyesque tax rates for people earning over 2 million. Of course we need to examine what Occupy and such call 'Socially useful' jobs which proliferated under Brown to the benefit of Labour Party functionaries but we certainly need some form of Public investment, a fact which even a 100 mile drive in any region will confirm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
