We have the same brand of pompous post-Socialist control freaks here. No new ideas, just new pr based on fake slogans that have nothing to do with socialism whatsoever. Blair had a good one the other day: 'we must stand up for the weak and poor'.

Excuse me? Socialism was never about charity, Mr Blair, unless we are talking of your own sentimental Fabian version. It used to be about social justice and a less polarised economy in which people would enjoy certain freedoms and be appreciated for their contribution to society instead of their (inherited) position in it. A society in which the poor would be enabled to stand up for themselves instead of having to wait for Blairite hand-outs, if I am not very much mistaken. It's Socialism, not Socialbenifitism, you insufferable excuse for a leader!

Tea, anyone?
