All The Fun On The Fringes

Hats off to Don Touhig for rightly pointing out that Plaid Cymru has run rings around Labour in their ill-considered coalition in Wales, and then for asking at PMQs about vibration white finger, as proper Labourites should while actual or arrested adolescents play about on the farther shores of Leftism and separatism.

But, of course, New Labour are not proper Labourites. They are arrested adolescent Leftists, and therefore more than happy to play about with the arrested adolescent separatists of Plaid Cymru.

Back when Labour was Labour, and indeed back when the Tories were the Tories, they were this country’s fantastically successful bulwarks against ideological mania. Consider the position at the time of John Smith’s death of all of the SNP, Plaid Cymru, the DUP, Sinn Fein, the BNP, UKIP, the Trots and the Islamists put together. Consider the position of any one of them today.

Compare, and contrast.
