They're all Tories now!

Last week, I posted whilst watching BBC's Question Time. I moaned then that the Lib Dems were sounding just like the Tories. Well, to my dismay, I have just watched Labour's John Denham on tonight's QT and he was sounding just like a Tory too. I cannot detect any real difference between any of the three major parties.

John Denham - If it looks like a Tory and sounds like a Tory... then it's a Tory

Today witnessed the teachers going on strike. Labour man Denham just sat there agreeing that the government line that these teachers - having had their pensions stolen from them - are just irresponsible and greedy. Nice one John! By the way, why did you join the Labour Party? Seriously, why? If you agree with the government that they have the right to strip working people of their hard-earned pensions, then why bother pretending to be a 'friend of the working man'.

Denham - you're a Tory!
Milliband - you're a Tory too!
So are you, Clegg!

Millibland - conducting a Labour Party policy review

There's barely a cigarette paper between you. You all basically agree with each other. The only differences are a matter of degrees. You're all singing from the same songsheet, though you may be singing in a different key. Or time signature (what do I know about music?). You get the idea? What I am saying is that they are all Tories, in case you hadn't clicked yet.

Millibland Quote of the day...

'The teachers' strike is wrong. It will inconvenience people, parents and children. They should return to the negotiating table...'

Well done, Ed. Maybe you should look up your labour movement history book and find out what the point of a strike really is. Yes, people are inconvenienced. That's the general idea, bonehead. Go and be a tory somewhere else.

  1. The trouble is, if anyone did propose the founding of a labour party, no-one would vote for it. Everyone has been Daily Mail-ised in Britain by now. Everyone is brainwashed into thinking that they must go along with their masters.

  2. I despair! Whilst Labour - as it once was - may not be the flavour of the nation, I wish we had some alternative to what we have at present - 3 parties, all espousing basically the same thing. There's no choice anymore. We have become like the U.S. - a red day on blue street or is it a blue day on red street? We has purple!
