I might actually die laughing! As you know if they had ever really believed in things like national sovereignty, they would always have taken that view. But if they ever did, they gave it up a long time ago.<br /><br />They gave only token opposition to most of the nationalisations but they fought steel tooth and nail and they even reversed it, the only time before Thatcher, in 1953.<br /><br />To see them renationalise something they had privatised <i>twice</i> because they had accepted the Old Labour argument would be surpassed only by the sight of right-wing Labour MPs going along with it, the heirs no more of John Stonehouse, Woodrow Wyatt and Tony Blair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
