Hopi Sen and "The Independent".
Poll
It is time for the Labour conference 2011 and today the "Independent" was worth buying. Top commentator Hopi Sen wrote eloquently about the post-Brownian situation. The crux of the matter is that Miliband must reinvent to a certain extent a party that grew from the struggle of organising trade unions to one that appeals. I recall Bristol in 1997 and the sea change. Thing is, as with Camergoon that we were promised a bright future, an end to Orwellian society and a new dawn. Under Blair, then Brown, we were forced into the most dire of circumstances, Maya Evans being arrested for reading, Brian Haw having to live in a tent for a decade to make a point and a war that is unwinnable and made Britain the premier target for radical Islam in Europe.
Finally, Miliband seems to be a mere continuation of the last lot. Devoid of new ideas he feebly spouts platitudes and has not drawn clear blue water (will John Rentoul add that to the Banned List?) between himself and his draconian predecessors.
Tonight I will fossick about the County Clare archives in the hope of ancestor hunting.
