Good grief....

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. I mean really, Hazel effin Blears as Communities Secretary. Almost as laughable as Blair as Middle East peace envoy.

Postscript: If only it had stopped with Hazel Blears. The true extent of Gordon Brown's contempt for traditional Labour values and its grassroots membership became clear with the appointment of thuggish, union-hating, public-school oaf, Digby Jones as minister in the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. If anything torpedoes the illusion that Brown marks a significant break with Blairism then surely it is this appointment.

Pitiful

Why should this surprise me? Why should anything that this George Romero, New Labour zombie government does surprise me? After all, it is 12 years since Clause IV was abolished ending any illusions anyone might have had that Labour was a socialist party. But a nominally Labour party, introducing a budget that hits the poorest and rewards the middle classes? Anytime you feel yourself wavering ever so slightly and consider giving this warmongering, racist, ever so slightly, Dulux blush of pink 'Labour Party' the benefit of the doubt then remember what the darling of the Labour left - deluded idiots that most of them are - did in this his final budget. Gordon, you are scum.
