It'd be...If he sticks to this promise - great.<br /><br />It'd be even better if he openly denounced New Labour for the gang of traitors they were and are. Then promised to restore all the founding values of the Labour Party.<br /><br />Of course this would bring down the wrath of far right mainstream media (that is, all of it) in its usual hypocritical ranting. But it's about time somebody got straight in their faces and told them clearly what they are.<br /><br />It would mean too he would in the short term probably lose a gerrymandered general election. But so what? At least he would perform a service for history, similar to Clarence Darrow in the Scopes trial. He would set a marker for turning the tide, something none of the others - with the possible exception of Jeremy Corbyn - are capable of doing.<br /><br />And he would at least be able to look at himself in the mirror each morning. Not something any of the compromised Righties can do.<br /><br />As for the Sun and the Murdoch thugs - nobody decent gives a shit what they say. Anybody who buys and believes anything they say is beyond persuasion anyway. So Burnham's stance is admirable in that respect. At least he's pointing out just what a bunch of ranting righty no-marks they are, something the rest of New Labour cowrads have run away from for years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-87598370898076925192015-07-12T18:43:25.398+01:002015-07-12T18:43:25.398+01:00As much as I hope that he sticks to his principles...As much as I hope that he sticks to his principles, I am not holding my breath.<br />If he is elected as leader I would guess, especially when the next election looms, he will suddenly give an interview.<br /><br />RlyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
