Into the valley of political death they rode!

With apologies to the late, great Alfred, Lord Tennyson:

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Lab Brigade!
Charge for the guns!” Jez said.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

On account of the innumerable wounds and scars I have accumulated over the years whilst offering election forecasts, most of which were hopelessly wrong, I tend to avoid them now.  However, I make an exception today because I am able to hide behind the skirts of Ms. Sherelle Jacobs of The Daily Telegraph!  Her headline sums it up:

Labour is on the brink of the most seismic wipeout in British election history

My feelings exactly!  Of course, they are tinged more than somewhat by my detestation of the stupid, vile idiocy of Jezza's so-called 'momentum' philosophy which has proved utterly disastrous in every country in which it was ever tried.  Also, it is driven by fear of what a Labour government - today! - would mean for my country.  As Ms. Jacobs puts it:

In its historic heartlands, the end of Labour can’t come soon enough. It is a stillborn populist movement that has mummified hideously into a metropolitan protest group. Its story is tragic. Within 30 years of its launch, bohemian Bolshevism had smothered the hopeful pragmatism of its rank-and-file.

Of course, the extinction of Labour Bolshevism might result in the growth of the il-Lib-non-Dem party but, at least for the moment', they do not appear to have their political coshes and knuckle-dusters to the fore!

I suspect that both Boris and Nige are thinking on these lines- and want the votes for themselves. Hence the paucity of agreement.

From wipe out to extinction hopefully.

My good friend, Richard, is for some unknown reason blocked from commenting by Typepad and I have asked them to look into it. He asked me to post this comment:

"What really gets to me is how the average Momentum/Labour supporter dismisses anyone who disagrees with them on anything as a fascist. My reply, which doesn't seem to be winning many converts, is that the only historical difference between fascists and Marxists seems to be that fascists carry out mass murder based on race, whereas with Marxists, it is based on class. I win even fewer converts by pointing out that Marxism has been responsible for 100 million state sponsored murders. Fascism comes a long way short of this with around 25 million. Ghastly as it seems is the fact that both of these are ballpark figures with the odd few million lost in all the number crunching."

Somehow they think that having a single State owned and operated internet is a vote winning idea.
Having the same bunch running it and also making up the laws about operating, and having access to, it is a scheme straight out of Fat Boy Kim's playbook.
But of course we can trust OUR polticians.
Nah, don't be silly.
