It has been mildly interesting watching the Labour leadership contenders distancing themselves – or not – from their erstwhile policies. Millipede the younger doesn’t understand why they pursued the ID Cards policy and 42 days detention.
“It was never very clear to me why we were pursuing these policies”, he said in the FT interview.
One wonders what, precisely, he was doing during those cabinet meetings. Plenty of us voiced concerns during the build up to the passage of the ID Cards bill through parliament. Where was Ed then? Why did he not listen? Was it because a massive Labour majority in the commons made him deaf to dissent?
Millipede the elder has no such qualms.
By contrast, David Miliband told his Labour audience on Tuesday night that ID cards were a good idea that ministers had failed to explain adequately to the public.
Ah, yes, of course. They failed to get their message across. We, poor little dears, just didn’t understand. In reality, we understood all too well and we received that message loud and clear. We just didn’t like it. Just as I don’t like the Millipedes and their sanctimonious brand of leftist control freakery. Unfortunately, the not getting the message across appears to be a two way street.
Trouble is, it’s probably conceiveable that one of these cunts will be prime minister in our lifetime. Thats a hideous thought. I’d rather shove wasps up my arse.
I don’t quite understand why those brothers are called ‘Millipede’. They don’t, after all, have a thousand feet. Instead they slither along leaving behind a trail of slime.
So what have molluscs done to upset you?
They slither in under the door, and leave trails of slime everywhere. Just like the Millibands, as I said.
You can eat snails…
Only with lots of garlic. Which I like even less than snails.
Mmm, so you have a problem with molluscs and garlic. I see. I’m sure there’s a thought crime in there somewhere.
