Comments to my previous post suggest Labour Outlook has disappeared in to the Bermuda Triangle for Labour Bloggers.The black hole has been caused apparently  by what is I am sure a well deserved career move within Labour but why the 1984 Ministry of Truth obliteration? Some of the posts were "Doubleplus Good".  




Stunning intervention by Duncan Bannantyne on 5 Live by the top Dragon this morning had Victoria spluttering on her BBC coffee.
Question. Do you trust Brown or Cameron? "Brown by a mile" came back  Duncan's sterling reply. Thank you Duncan and for your selfless work campaigning against the Tobacco Industry Fat Cats vile exploitation of Africans.

Perhaps the editor decided that he would be safer in complying with the 'no blog' rule if he deleted the postings. I know he was asking some others to take over, but it would seem that he had no takers. I agree that it's a shame, but there it is.

It does when he emails you to keep you in the loop - not something Fido would ever be. It was a fair few weeks ago now though.

Didn't hear the R5 piece but Bannatyne said something similar on This Week last Thursday (get his name right btw).

Brown is a personal friend of his, perhaps going back some time, I don't know. However he also said he thought Thatcher was the right leader for the country during the 80s and supported her then.

As for Brown, I've heard Labour supporters that would never vote for him say IDS is a top-notch constituency MP and all-round nice bloke but nobody suggests he was ever the right man to lead the Tories.


Re:Why cultivating Roses IS deferred for Brown (#5)

Thank you GP- yet again this haunting quote seems to explain the Brown recovery phenomena

"The prime minister is leader of his party, not only in Parliament but in the country.

Without the support of his party he is nothing. If he loses the support of his party in the country he is in danger.

In saying this I do not necessarily identify the party in the country with the party machine.

 He may have clear support in his party in the country-and here it is sometimes necessary to draw a distinction between party activists and the broader mass of party supporters.

 If he loses the support of his party in the country he is in trouble.

 If he loses the support of his party in the country, and cannot get it back, he should contemplate cultivating roses".

You seem well versed in 1984, Mr Frost.

Are you not concerned that New Labour's whole philosophy comes from this book?

As for Duncan Bannatyne, do you think he got rich by trusting inveterate liars?

 F and T thanks for the comment  Always willing  to engage on this subject. You will of course be aware that this week sees the 70th anniversary of Tory PM Neville Chamberlain's humiliation on his return from Munich. This appeaser of Nazi dictators did not value our nations  Freedom or the Truth sufficiently and clearly was not well versed in 1984 widely accepted to be written ( in 1936) as a portent of the Nazi menace. John Frost has been a symbolic pseudonym of many truth seekers  since the tragic events in Newport  4 Nov 1839. Tory PM Robert Peel commuted John's death sentence to Deportation. To save his own skin perhaps literally as Queen Vic feared revolution if the Tories connived a hanging of the Chartists. The contemporary equivalent is the Cameronati chickening out of the free market piracy of Thatcherism--but only when it suits them. No change there then??!!

Thanks, J.F. Neville Chamberlain got it wrong, but the powers elite are using stealth this time to create a united Europe. NL are humiliating our country this way.

I'm not a Tory, by the way. I used to vote Labour. I'm no fan of Cameron.

I thought 1984 was written in 1948.

New Labour is not Labour. It has been taken over by the elite to stuff the ordinary man in the street.

Very, very sad, but true.

Thanks for the reply F and T and understand your viewpoint. The Brown recovery however long it lasts is the Labour Party as it is and that is it. Thank you for  the correction  1948 it is .
