He should be in the Hague, let alone still a member of the Labour Party. Galloway was booted for far less than carrying out war crimes. For me it's the same old establishment politics and the SNP HAVE to be part of the deal. I think the media is appalling the way they are demonising Scotland. A year ago they were threatening Scotland and then begging them to stay with all kinds of empty promises and now suddenly the Scots are dangerous? Two faced evil media run by non-taxing paying billionaires. Westmonster is dangerous. Fracking, wars, banking fraud, debt, austerity.

You would have to be evil to vote Tory and you must have amnesia to vote Labour. Miliband should be talking about bringing back clause 4 and nationalisation and instead it's 'I will freeze your bills for a bit'. It's good cop, bad cop and this cop isn't a whole lot better. People deserve so much more considering they did not cause the recession. I am sorry for ranting, but the topic upsets me.
Of course I'd like to see Labour go further and be a true Labour party. But they need to be electable.
IF he gets in I think Ed will do what he can over time, if he has some stability, to get closer to Labour roots. He is not, and never was, A Blairite.

I also fully agree with your thoughts on the demonisation of the SNP. It is an utter joke and making me quite angry. Fucking snake Murdoch.
