Wendy Alexander has addressed the Scottish Liebour spring gathering and told them that she will lead them to victory in the Scottish Parliament. Yeah, right.
In a characteristic display of utter hypocrisy, she said that she “will lead by exposing the dishonesty of the SNP”. Dishonesty of the SNP? Sorry Wendy Love, just remind me who’s only just been let off with a slapped wrist for breaking electoral law.
Alexander tried desperately to paint Liebour as the party of the people and the SNP as the evil capitalists (even though they’re more left wing than Liebour) but failed miserably because I very much doubt that even the people inside the conference hall believe that Liebour is a credible party any more, let alone the average man (or woman) on the street.
Liebour are a bunch dishonest, corrupt, self-serving, British nationalist crooks. They are unelectable in England and they are hemorrhaging support in their Celtic heartlands. They are, to put it bluntly, a spent force. The only reason they still cling on to power now is because Gordon Brown is too chicken shit to call the election he knows he is going to lose. Badly.

I think i must be sick in the head or something but i really fancy her
They are old fashioned, the world has been changed, by their southern party cousins, and they are still banging the old 1970s Red Labour drum
No, they’re not banging a Red Labour drum… Wendy’s last attempt to revamp herself was based around “personalised” healthcare. Now, “personalised” is a nice sounding word used in place of the more honest (and more recognisable) “privatisation”. Very Blairite – very New Labour…
As for Scottish Labour – the Scottish Trade Union Congress almost voted to back the SNP before the 2007 election – it was only the abstention of Scottish Unison that stopped the labour movement rejecting the party it funds.
And good god Axel, get yourself seen to!
I dont know if I agree with that in totality, there is still a strong impression, locally on the street that Labour are still the same old stale shite.
Maybe because Labour are the Establishment, they have not evolved and are still the same? Remember the trauma of the 80s was not seen as an oppurtunity to modernise but as something to suffer happily under and grumble
