And this; from a former Labour party speechwriter...

Clicked a few other links after reding JC in the times this morning, found this:

Quite an interesting article (not something we didn't already know about), but what interested me the most (having never read his column before) is that a few of his subjects appear to be slagging the NLP way of doing politics, then I read his background.(!)

I wonder how people who were once so positive about labour can now be so against it. Not that I'm that upset! But it is interesting to see how much people believed the party spin ten years ago and how little they were all unaware of what was really going on. Blind, stupid or ignorant..? I firmly believe that Australia will be exactly this disinterested in politics and their own new labour party in ten years time when they too have stuffed the place royally up the ar$e.
