After all, via Ayn Rand, tories don't believe society even exists - for them, existence is all sordid greed and paranoid curtain twitching.<br /><br />Jones will become a specific target as the general election looms, as will ANY policy which opposes the organised looting of national assets and its supporting far right propaganda.<br /><br />The local election results are an indication - nothing more - of a dawning general realisation that society has been duped, lied to, led into illegal mass-murdering wars and culturally impoverished by an evil creed alien to everything worthwhile in human nature. The propaganda "succeeded" for 39 years but now the sheer rottenness of it becomes evident with each passing day. Hence the sheer hysteria and desperation spewing out of far right propaganda clerks.<br /><br />The present Labour leadership would do well to listen and act on Jones's example. This is no time for half measures and puny cynical political manoeuvring a la hypocritical red tory New Labour. If they fail to act this country will be stuck in a far right downhill rut for generations to come. The consequences will be dire for what's left of social decency.<br /><br />One way or another, the next general election will mark a major turning point. If Labour lose, the transition to Airstrip One and a US puppet state will be complete. It will be the equivalent of a Banana Monarchy in slow meltdown. If a RADICAL Labour wins, it will face the full organised corrupt fury of international capitalism and its cowardly media. Plus attempted internal sabotage from the likes of Benn and Umunna. So it had best prepare itself for the fight. <br /><br />Anything less will mean this country has opted for the end of democracy. We have already lost too much of it to spivs, barrow boys and mass murderers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
