Rank and file - they are a bunch of useless, scheming amoral s that we wouldn't piss on if they were burning to death - in fact, we'd probably get some parafin...

Is there any allegiance to New Labour at all?

I don't know anyone who thinks they're anything but useless. To be fair, there isn't much optimism about the Tories either. All part of the general apathy around politics due IMHO to a general reliance on spin. Tipping point for me was the "burying bad news" story a few years back.

Why the feck would there be? Labour have kept upping the tax take, added red tape from here to eternity, stolen from the pension pots and to cap it all put all the blame for their p*ss poor regulatory abilities in aiding the recession onto the banker's shoulders.

That is why the Parliamentry Labour Party would be plain old bankrupt were it not for the donations from the Unions (and let's not even get into what a precarious situation you're in when your only source of revenue is the Unions and all that brings).

I saw a post on Liarlist that was calling for the city to embrace socialism and thought I'd ask the question. The article is garbage, worth a chuckle.

Likely Derek Draper licking his sores. El Gordo will probably be on GMTV again soon being arse kissed by his wife.
