Pedalling Myths To The End

Commentators and retrospectives of New Labour's last Ten Years in government have all harped on a common theme including I'm Mandy Fire Me and Postman Prat Johnson and that is, The Middle Way or Third Way Myth. The squared circle way which when divested of its semantics and hair splitting amounts to a fudge, an ideological and linguistic sleight of hand.

The New Labour fiends knew the gig was up re overt smash and grab in your face taxation so they had to hide the larceny in the small print and like a thief in the night purloin under cover of darkness in the form of stealth taxation which Brown perfected to the point of evil genius. For this he is hailed as the New Labour second coming. Chutzpah matched only by depth of cynicism he got away with it and is now about to take over the Reigns of power in a coronation which should make all Democracy loving folk more than a little queasy.

Since when was it a virtue to thieve and plunder on an industrial scale? Under Labour's perverted ideology 'redistribution of wealth' from the dos to the do nots is the gift that keeps on taking and the amount of good and value that is accomplished in the bloated 'public sector' is always in inverse proportion to the amount of money extracted from the hapless and it would seem hoplessly psychotic sado masochistic British public.

Working on the Hitlerian adage that if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth the old mantra is Trotted out that the old Left-Right divides no longer made any sense in 1997 - as if to say gravity may have been relevant before but now its laws have been suspended and we can all jump off high buildings with impunity. With no explanation as to why this amazing and miraculous state of affairs had occurred it was simply reiterated as a given, beyond challenge or debate. From here it is but a skip to assert as the same commentators did, that in this new age the old class divides have blurred. Specifically one cannot assume that working class people would automatically vote labour and business men vote Conservative. Whilst this is true in practice there is no earthly logic to it. Why on earth would anyone owning a business vote labour with its anti business ethos of taxing it to death on the instalment plan? Blank out.

As if to get in on the act of cocking a snook at reality Cameron comes along -Lord Snooty to some, and asserts more or less the following. 'For years we asserted in the face of fierce opposition from Labour that one and one was two. Twenty years later and after four electoral defeats they threw in the towell and finally admitted in so many words that we had been right all along and that one and one was indeed two. Now we had a dilemna. But we have solved it by asserting that one and one is in fact three, thus repositioning ourselves and offering a clear alternative to Labour.

At this point all self respecting tory voters run screaming into the night.That is where we are now.
