Albeit a Daily Wail article, this makes very interesting reading...

A small excerpt

As the Spectator says: 'Indeed, New Labour, which has governed since 1997, cannot be understood unless these communist influences are taken into account.
'Many of New Labour's characteristics - its deep suspicion of outsiders, its structural hostility to democratic debate, its secrecy, its faith in bureaucracy, the embedded preference for striking deals out of the public eye, and its ruthless reliance on a small group of trusted activists, result from the lengthy detente with the Kremlin.'

It's been known for years that Labour has communists lurking within; in fact some of the current line up are communists (only they don't like to shout about it). This why I am astonished at the sheer stupidity of anyone who would vote for them. As I have said before, such people are themselves either a deceitful and destructive communist or are simply deluded.

What an interesting article. Shame its in the Wail really.

The points about the TGWU being controled by Moscow are more then a bit scarey especially given that...

"The union's patronage was ubiquitous. Neil Kinnock and Tony Blair, as well as Cabinet ministers Margaret Beckett, Harriet Harman and John Reid, were all sponsored by TGWU and made their Labour Party careers thanks to it."

Not to mention that Winky got his first seat thanks to Jack Jones (who the article claims to have been a soviet agent) and Alec Kitson.

Perhaps its all part of the USSR's devious plan the lull the west into a false sense of security.

Socialism is nothing more than Communism with a cynical smile.

Most people can't see past the soundbites presented on TV, let alone examine the history of the person they are voting for.

Not really, if Labours heart belongs to Moscow...

Here is the Spectator article.

Interesting article (from a Russian perspective) comparing the old constitution of the USSR and the modern EU. It's actually quite scary.

This is the UK don't forget

We don't vote for the party we want, we vote for the party that is most likely to keep the party we really don't want out of power.

So don't think for a minute that labour voters actually want labour in power hell no they just don't want the torys in power
