WE'RE ALL GOING TO A LABOUR FUNERAL

(LABOUR - ELEVATING DENIAL INTO A POLICY)

We’re all going to a Labour funeral

Just like lemmings led by Corbyn’s crew

Spouting dogma for the daft and gullible

And swallowed by his retinue

Who haven’t thought it through.

This for me’s not remotely original

Though it may seem that it is for you

This will be my second Labour funeral

I saw one in the 80’s too

When we got good and screwed.

Your rhetoric you spout quite brightly

You think your propaganda is true

But let me suggest politely

Michael Foot’s was too.

Now you’re thinking that I’m Conservative

A pinko Tory and a Blairite too

I hear far worse and more perjorative

Just get in line and form a queue

I’m happy if you do.

I think he is, Harry; and I don't think he ever stood a chance. It's one thing having 3/4/500,000 activists eulogising you, it's quite another persuading 12 million voters. The comical thing for me is that his supporters blame everything and everyone for Copeland including "Blame it on the Boogie". Labour has elevated Denial into policy.
He has one eternal political friend in this. "Events, dear boy, events" as Harold Macmillan answered when asked what he feared most.

John,
I understand the sentiment,but wonder if this Christian soul in a Marxist body is not capable of resurrection.

The problem of how to distribute the wealth being created
by fewer and fewer workers in the imminent technological age is going to need something of a socialist heave.

(As Hammond seemed to suggest at Davos, we may have seen nuthin` yet to what we will shortly see (And Trump is
an obvious voter response to the upcoming problem)

People are beginning to feel unease at the amount of easy
money and credit that is hanging about everywhere (can it really last?)...And the calculated comments about our chance (the industrialist`s chance) of really reducing the
rate of immigration are beginning to sound ominous for the UKIP crowd...(why - in spite of all these things - are we continuing to see `quantitive` full employment)? And how will the worker productivity of the future effect the economy? (ours - on the very brink of a possible Brexit - and despite immigration is parlous at the moment)

Once they get the intelligent-sounding speil coming through (Oh! for another Blair!) then life will come back into the old limbs again.

The problem - of course - is...Is Corby really deader than dead?

Keep rhymin` them John!

I'm back with Cliff and his big red bus - happy days!
Personally, I'm inclined to use "We are the Ovalteenies"
to sum up the bizarre situation in Stoke.

He enjoys the halo effect of the dead.
