Look on the bright side: he comes over as a human being, he's making as clear a break as possible with New Labour, the target culture, pandering to the filthy rich, war-mongering and civil liberties authoritarianism, he's got nearly five years to rebuild - and the Tory cuts haven't even started yet.
I might even rejoin the party. ;)
Only to the extent that he's not a Blair clone. Which doesn't make him anything like his father in that respect. You should hear what someone like Tariq Ali, who was a big mate of Ralph's and has known both boys all their lives, has to say about them. Not worth swallowing all the crap the Torygraph and the redtops are spraying.Caliban wrote:And he is more like his Marxist father than "call me Dave" the Blair clone

Which is pretty much all the Tory press has been able to come up with. And they can keep plugging that line as far as I'm concerned, because it'll do them no good, once disaffected Labour supporters return to the fold and people in the middle ground realise that he's not the bogeyman they're trying to paint him as.
