Cold

Who cares whether some little old lady in Prague was once a spy? She is the least of anyone’s worries.

Old Communists, Trostkyists and fellow-travellers created New Labour, and in such persons as Peter Mandelson they are now well and truly back at the heart of it. For that matter, in such persons as Charlie Whelan, they never left that heart.

So much for the party of Attlee, Bevin, Morrison, Bevan and Gaitskell.

So much for “Labour has come home to you, come home to Labour”.

The Trots have also surrounded George Bush from start to finish. Eastern Europe’s Stalinist nomenklatura is as ensconced as ever, having been consciously and deliberately kept on by the West. A Portuguese Maoist runs the EU, key source of the apparatchiki’s new wealth, and key part of the Trots’ global vision. And so on, and on, and on.

Who won the Cold War? That is a very good question.

  1. What about Cameron, preparing to give a peerage and a ministry to Geoff Mulgan?

  2. "Who won the Cold War? That is a very good question."

    No it's not, it's a rubbish question. The Soviet Union and their allies wanted to install communism across the globe. The fact they didn't, and the USSR collapsed, meant that the USA and her allies won. I'm not sure you'll find any credible historian who says otherwise - even ones sympathetic to the communist agenda.

  3. You haven't read the post properly, have you? Or the comments before your own, come to that.

    Marxism's ultimate end is the "withering away" of the family, private property, and the State. It scorns the social-democratic or generally populist means of securing these things against capitalism, and its own means long ago moved on from eceonomics to the culture wars.

    People at least as committed as ever to those ends by those means, and as full as ever of that scorn, will be running Britain regardless of who wins the next General Election, just as (among much else) they run the European Commission, just as they never stopped running much of Eastern Europe, and just as they have run the US ever since, behind Bush, they staged in 2000 the coup that they had been planning for 30 years.

    But the Americans are about to kick them out. When will we?

  4. Without the unions, Labour have no other source of new MPs. That was why the union ties were cut. Look who demanded it.
