Lifted, withouit acknowledgement, from the Daily Telegraph.


And not dissimilar from the comments made when Blair was elected leader.

Depends on what you feel the Labour Party should be campaigning on.

When Blair was elected as leader it was the left that cried the day the Labour Party died and it did in a way, not so much die but the extreme clause 4 nationalisation socialism in Britain crowd went into hibernation.. Now of course its the wing who wants to work with capitalism who have been knocked of their perch.

I can see why so many Labour Party members supported Corbyn just out of purely being sickened by the smarmy masonic type club that the recent leadership had become. Even I prefer Corbyn to the other lot that's held sway all using politics to further their own attitudes towards life, however without capitalism developing we wouldn't be commenting on the internet as there would be no internet, no electricity no energy in fact no left -wing and especially Labour Party.


The day the left can admit to the fact that capitalism has been the most powerful force in human history to improve our lot and that instead of constantly using pathetic caricatures of the 'Bosses' and 'workers' and actually look at the human condition before the industrial revolution then I'll consider the left again or any sane discussion that sees the importance of capitalism and also the negatives without screaming lynch the bosses.

200 years of industrialisation , 60 years of billions not million living better than ever somehow looks like a dot on one pebble on the beaches of the whole planet when compare to the Neolithic post ice age time span let alone the last 600 thousands years of glaciation.
