The noxious Milipede, is upset about the Daily Mail accurately identifying his father as a nasty little Marxist.
The Labour leader said he was “appalled” that after offering him a right of reply, the paper had repeated its original article and also now “described my father’s legacy as evil”.
I’d say that this was a fairly accurate analysis of Miliband major’s legacy. Marxism is evil. If his son was to enact half of the things he says he will, then we are in for a rough ride – not to mention being bled dry by ever increasing taxes to fund the inevitable profligacy. So, for once, it looks like the Mail has got it right.
He said it raised questions about morality and boundaries for newspapers.
Yeees, well, I’m not going to take anything a politician says about morality with anything other than a huge pinch of the proverbial white crystals. These people don’t have any morality, they are parasitical scumbags who lie, steal and cheat in order to keep themselves and their hangers-on in the third sector in the manner to which they have come to expect. Of course, newspaper journalists aren’t far behind and ordinarily, I wouldn’t be leaping to their defence – it’s just that on this occasion, we are talking about the fly and the dog turd, one being marginally less repugnant than the other.
Either the account is true or it isn’t. In general we know far too little about our politician’s backgrounds.
I don’t recall Cameron et al being too concerned over the letter that a teacher that didn’t know Farage had written a letter to his headmaster making hearsay claims that he was a fascist.
Prescott was bleating today that the Mail’s publisher had been pro-Hitler pre-1939. So what? There have got to be better reasons than that accepting/rejecting a newspaper’s editorial position.
It’s largely an opinion piece, so the accusation of lying doesn’t stand – it being an opinion. The excerpts from Miliband’s diary are a matter of fact as is his vile socialist beliefs. Stating, therefore, that he hated Britain is a fairly logical conclusion. Socialists do despise everything that Britain was at that time and it seems they still do despise those who cling to some of the ideals; personal responsibility, a sense of national identity and so on.
And, yes the leftists do still bleat on about where the paper stood in 1939. And, yes, so what? The world has moved on since then. The Mail is a dreadful paper, but its past owners’ support for Hitler is not something to be concerned about and anyone who wheels it out is simply displaying their paucity of both argument and ability to think.
I would say that it is a matter of public record that Miliband Snr was a raging Marxist.
He certainly did little to hide the fact.
It is typical of the left wing to cry foul when caught out in any given situation with the knickers down.
I posted the other day about the Labour Publicist” who attacked an old aged pensioner who was protesting peacefully at the Labour conference, because aforementioned pensioner was in his clients shot.
I had a delightful visit and comment from some grubby little leftie saying
” Stephen 27 September 2013 05:33
Huh? Ian Dale stood as a Tory candidate and although he resigned from the party in 2010 is still a conservative. Yet you try to spin this into anti-Labour story because he published a biography of a Labour spin-doctor. Pathetic!”
I responded by pointing out that the man worked for a labour MP, who was paying him to publicise his book and that, therefore he was clearly linked to the labour party and as a paid employee of a labour MP was thus linked to labour by default, and not setting a very good example for labour MP’s.
It’s like saying I saw the man hatchett the other man to death, all I did was hold his coat! That person would still be an accessory to the crime.
But apparently politicos especially of the left variety are immune from any sort or personal attack.
As for “who ate all the pies” Prescott after his defrauding the council tax etc he would do well to keep very quiet.
Iain Dale is indeed a Tory.. However, politicians’ differences are minor as they are all cast in the same mould. They all want to control us and they don’t like us seeing that they have no clothes Sometimes this becomes apparent when they cross the floor of the house.
That said, I’m not sure Dale’s scuffle is an example of this particular phenomenon, rather an example of arrogance generally that we see in the media. They didn’t want someone in the background despite it being a public space. If that’s a problem, then go somewhere private.
I would also add that if you are attracting those kind of hostile comments, you are doing something right 😉
*chuckle* I think Stephen is the same stephen who sometimes leaves you lovely comments and that in fact he stalked me from here to there 😀
But it raised a chuckle 😉
I agree with what you say but I still think Dale is guilty by association.
I agree wholeheartedly about the public space thing and the arrogance.
But I am biased as I just don’t like lefties especially when they think they have something to say but ….well…actually they don’t, because if they had more than one brain cell knocking around inside their heads there would be a fire and they would need putting out.
“ … if they had more than one brain cell knocking around inside their heads there would be a fire and they would need putting out.
They all need putting out regardless of how many or how few brain cells they have in there. Putting out to grass, putting out of sight, putting out of earshot, putting out of office, putting out of their misery … for their own good, you understand – just like they’re always telling us that all the crap they heap on us is for our own good … 😉
“Yeees, well, I’m not going to take anything a politician says about morality with anything other than a huge pinch of the proverbial white crystals. “
Especially from the man who posed for a picture with a scumbag wearing a T-shirt expressing a wish to dance on an elderly woman’s grave…
I’d forgotten about that. The vile shitbag wasn’t over worried about offence then, was he, the nasty little hypocrite.
I believe, that’s one of the big problems of trying to interact with the left in general.
They’ll tell anyone who’ll listen that they play fair, they respect the rules. the game and their opponent.
Though they scream bloody murder at the slightest perceived insult, or anything they think will get them viewed as the good guys or the victim.
And when they’re up, all bets are off, they’ll lie, cheat, steal, rig, do absolutely anything they possibly can in order to win.
It’s astonishing that after so long of this charade, the right still fall for it.
