Labour appears to have another disastrous new slogan.<\/p>\n
This one is \u2018There is no right or left anymore. There is just right and wrong.\u2019<\/p>\n
It is being rolled out from the mouths of all the automatons Labour sends out to do the media rounds, all of whom seem to have accepted the program instruction to repeat it as often as possible in the hope that this madness will permeate our thinking.<\/p>\n
But it is nonsense. If the claim was that there was no right or left now because politics is now reorientated so that it is about the difference between those who care, and those who do not, I could have lived with the claim.<\/p>\n
But that is not what is being said. Instead what is actually being said is that there remains a right wing agenda in politics and there is also a wrong way of doing things, which is when the state does them. That is the actual message they are trying to impart.<\/p>\n
It is very hard not to have a deep, almost visceral, loathing of those people in what still claims to be Labour who are creating these lines. They are destroying that Party from within. They are seeking to deny this country the option of having a left-wing government ever again. In the process, they are dedicated to the idea that profit made without responsibility (because what else do their lines about cutting red tape mean?) is all that matters.<\/p>\n
I totally reject these values. I do not just do so for the ethical reasons, although I have always done that. I do so because forty or more years of evidence shows how profoundly harmful these attitudes are to the wellbeing of the vast majority of people in this country, and beyond.<\/p>\n
There is class warfare going on in this country now, and it is Labour waging it on the people of the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
