Re: Meanwhile, in an authoritarian state near here...
I think it's fair to say I'm pretty disgusted by this, and not in the least bit surprised.

Labour, why do you keep making it so damn difficult for me to support you?

Fucked is the word. But here's another one: backlash.

I'm sensing a limit being reached. Strange alliances are being drawn. When knobheads like Jon Gaunt* are getting the backing of Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti, you know something is stirring.

(*Sacked from a radio station for referring to a councillor as "a health nazi")

It's coming to something when I find myself eager to defend front bench Conservative shadow ministers and right wing shock jocks. And I hate that so much ammunition is being handed to the "it's political correctness gone mad" crowd. But that's the way it is.
