It's just 50 individuals. Why is it a racist tactic/dragnet when the loss of just 50 black people in the UK makes absolutely no difference to the demographic?

With people like Blair, it's not about money. His Mrs is rather fond of a £ note but with him, its about the power. Blair has more money than he could ever spend and he had never struck me as the type to swan about in ludicrous cars and so on.

Oddly enough on Sunday, I believe Blair did let it be known that he was not interested in a return to the Commons but that still makes no sense if you look at how structured his media appearences have been. Blair is good at that s***, and does not make moves without having a notion of what is down the line, several steps ahead.

That f***er is making moves and it's a genuine struggle to work out the why.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - 1984 - George Orwell.

Hard to argue with this

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I have certainly 'warmed' to these sentiments.
I was on my 'Soapbox' about this only last night.

My original point "Labour don't get it" should have been expanded, what I meant was that Labour focuses on the stuff the voters don't care about but has no policies that will change the life of the average voter.

How many people actually care about foreign criminals being deported? The same with Trans issues, these are trivial compared with housing education, employment etc.

This week a Labour Shadow minister attacked the government for withdrawing from Afghanistan and not doing enough for the people. Going into Afghanistan was a Labour decision and a disaster and now the Americans have decided to withdraw we have no choice but to leave.

What do Labour expect the government to do? Of course apart from moaning this minister had no idea how to tackle this issue.

They are not going to get elected if they continue focusing on issues that only their activist fan base care about.

They need big ideas and I don't see any coming from them. Labour the part of protest.
