David Edgar fears that the public won’t back his new hero.
Suddenly, those of us who have brayed from the sidelines – about dropping Trident, de-privatising the railways, celebrating rather than unravelling multicultural Britain, and doing something serious about income inequality – have had to confront some serious arguments. We have – for the first time in decades – the giddy prospect of our most cherished policies becoming the core of Labour’s programme. But we also face the risk that the forces of opposition are correct: that these policies are electoral anathema, or unworkable, or both.
They are both. The left wants to force the rest of us to comply with its vile authoritarian agenda – of stealing our money and pissing it away on their favoured causes. Fortunately, there are enough people in the country with enough common sense to reject their utopia, who do, indeed, want to unravel multicultural Britain, and who recognise that income inequality is a fact of life – unless you want to pay a brain surgeon the same as a dustman and see what happens. So, yeah, Edgar is probably right. I certainly hope that he is. Certainly his cherished policies have all the impression of being another suicide note.
He needn’t worry, if (or rather when) JC crashes and burns, the Left will invent some reason why it wasn’t his (and their) fault, probably the bankers, or the Americans, or the Jews, or the Illuminati, whoever is the Great Satan-du-jour basically, and continue as before.
The Left are mentally ill – no sane person could objectively look at the history of the 20th century and conclude that what the world needs a bit more of is Socialism. Just as a mentally ill person creates their own version of reality in their head, so do the Left.
“… and who recognise that income equality is a fact of life… ”
*In*equality, Shirley?
Yup. Corrected. Ta.
They ALL have a vile authoritarian agenda based on stealing our hard-earned, and ’twas ever thus:-

“electoral anathema, or unworkable, or both” Ah the age old problem of the lefty. “The people voted the wrong way that’s sooooo unfair and ignorant of them. We must change them for their own good” When the “people” vote the wrong way it is not because the policies are wrong it is that we have the wrong kind of people able to vote. That is why it has always been socialism that has needed “Reeducation Camps” and walls to keep the population IN!
Quite so. Socialism relies on force to work – if “work” is the right word. After all, it always ends in failure. I still remember the Berlin wall coming down. Socialism really worked there, didn’t it?
Socialism is one of the greatest evils ever inflicted upon mankind.
I like the story of the lecturer that put Socialism into action by pooling all the students marks and sharing them out.
The poor students were pleased that they got a pass with no work; the good students were upset that hard work brought no reward.
The poor students didn’t even try the next time and the good students hardly bothered so everyone failed. Equality in misery.
Yes, that sums it up – equality in misery. The lowest common denominator.
