Woo. P. Doo.

Next we'll be served up self-serving recycled links back to previous 'suggestions' that did not pan out.

"just as I suggested in this blog on 14 June"

To be accurate, just as you reported in this blog on 14 June, as you wrote:

"The talk among many Labour people at the moment is that if David were to lose to Ed then the elder brother might leave politics altogether."

Given that you too got a very good degree in PPE, you must know the importance of getting said that and other idioms of propositional attitude right, especially as a reporter.

Even though Stripe's gone off to lurk in the dark, I bet we won't see any Fabianism from the sibling - it just isn't in the genes.

This was obvious as soon as Ed announced his candidature as leader of Labour.

Once upon a time the backbenches WERE the frontline in British politics!

Yvette Cooper cannot be the first woman shadow chancellor, since that distinction fell to Margaret Thatcher between 1974 and her election to the leadership in 1975. Perhaps this would be, however, a fast-track progression for Ms Cooper.

They are ALL novices...! As for Ed we'll see the leopard change it's spots before our very eyes!

We want folks with experience, agriculture, farming banking the list is endless what we don't want is a fresh face from Oxford running our country... this goes for Cammy and Cleggy, or should I say 'Last of the Winters broth!'

You can see whats about to happen, the unions will try to gain a footage no wonder Red Ken was overjoyed... may be that's when David Miliband will be back as RED Ed fumbles and scrumbles as the unions take over.

I wonder if they will be sharing Christmas dinner?

I bet they won't. One legislation, two, look at how the demographics have changed over the past fifty years (you can eyeball this from any televised demonstration). Look at the behaviour. Still on demographics, look at the gender balance over time in the public sector (probation staff is a good one as their workforce stats are readily available on the web). Not only should one look at cognitive ability, but consider disposition - conservativism - as they are not risk takers any more.

This, I suggest, has been masterfully population managed over many decades through promoting equality and human rights. Look into what drove the Fabians, but look especially at how they were effectively thwarted by their opponents. New generation Labour are not Fabians. In fact, from what I can tell, neither is the Fabian Society. It has been infiltrated. We're all Austrians now and it will take a miracle to change this :-(

Not all has changed, but much has for the worse (see links in other NN blogs). The following link may be worth reading for some, and it may even surprise some given what happened in the war and especially afterwards (the Austrian School wasn't so popular then). Hopefully it may educate some too. It ends very sadly.

"Kitty was on the National Committee of the Common Wealth Party (CWP) and during this period came into conflict with Richard Acland. He accused her of having a "more chaotically disorderly brain than anyone I've ever met... you are wholly incapable of holding an organised part in any discussion or argument." Kitty replied that the CWP "is disintegrating because of attempts to turn it into an autocratic pseudo-religious body with fascist tendencies."

we used to play football with a kid who owned the ball and if we did not pass to him he would pick up the ball and do one so we had to play something else...that is what David did, it might upset Michael and a few Westminster types but if it was not in the script so much the better, the party decided it was not going back to the same old ..... anymore as lessons had been learned and it was an insult to the new encumbant to hog the headlines with that 'will he, won't he' rubbish. Talk about it's all about me. When it comes down to it...David blew it, he blew it when he could have unseated Gordon and saved sixty seats in th elction that WOULD have made a difference, well I, for one am glad he has gone so now we can get on with things...
