A good little defence of Labour, of whom i'm a fan.
"And when you get alleged socialists chanting “Labour Out” with undisguised glee then you have to ask what planet they are living on. Or if they actually care what happens to the working-class in their zeal to out-left each other"
Do they actually care what happens to the working-class in their zeal to out-left each other? NO! So true

Bankers' pay
Right-ists are out in force (links to follow) to defend the rights of the well-paid to keep all their money without nasty state interference.
What I haven't yet seen is the lefties' case.
So i'll come up with one when I have time.
Not that anyone will read it, but that's another issue.
Help appreciated on that one.
ta.
Oh, and Southend won tonight. Woot

The Left
From this interview with Mark Steel:
#
The left certainly does hate success. In my experience, those on the far left like the SWP can only define themselves in opposition. Due to the need to be ideologically pure and further left than anyone else, the splits come too easily. I liken it to fundamentalist religion, where if anyone achieves the nirvana they are not to be trusted.
Most of the left, like SWP and Respect, are too busy arguing amoungst themselves over who is the most left-wing and nothing else matters to them. Pragmatism doesn’t get a look in.
Nye Bevan knew the way, but these so-called lefties know nothing of his work

Most of the Greens are know are good, proper lefties. Derek Wall is a genuine socialist and a legend in our times. The left should feel very comfortable supporting the Greens
