You hit that one on the head. The article described something less than complete re-nationalisation anyway, so there'd still be plenty trough available for their mates. While this may be true, you have to believe that people can change. The composition of the PLP has changed and will change even more if they win. But will it be for the better? -- Moving things in still pictures |

Like I said, one can only hope. Miliband is a former Harvard lecturer and the alumnus of a London comprehensive which, at least at the time, had a wide social mix. Cameron offers Eton, Oxford, public relations and Conservative Central Office. What has he done, really? -- Myth, after all, is what we believe naturally. History is what we must painfully learn and struggle to remember. -Albert Goldman |
