I can laugh, so that's what I'm doing. Remnant Labourites reading this should weep buckets. But no one should be remotely surprised that Jon Cruddas was denied the Deputy Leadership by her shamelessly dishonest splitting of the anti-war majority vote. After all, Harman was the candidate of the most hardline neocons in the House of Commons, Gisela Stuart and Denis MacShane. Hers was a Straussian deception of the common herd. Are we on the verge of another one?
Meanwhile, to matters historical, yet very contemporary: the old Paedophile Information Exchange was hand in glove with the old Campaign for Homosexual Equality (they were practically a single organisation - same address, same committee, the works), which in turn was hand in glove with the old National Council for Civil Liberties in the Hatty and Patty days. (Patty, please note, is now a key anti-Brown conspirator, having previously had overall responsibility for every social worker in England.)
This is all very well-researched and well-documented; indeed, so different were attitudes within the real ruling class at the time (I mean to publicising these views, not to the views as such, which have not changed one jot) that no secret seems to have been made of these connections.
The people who have done all the relevant (painstaking) research have of course been short of a hearing in more recent years. But with Hatty's new-found eminence, they are certainly going to get a hearing now. Aren't they?
Oh yes if she is ever stupid enough to run for leader then it will all come out. The Fleet St. files are bulging. This blog has done invaluable work.
ReplyDeleteIf she wins it will be the final signal that the Labour Party no longer exists and only a tribute act to everything fashionable in universities in the 60s and 70s remains. Beginning with blind hatred of men.
ReplyDeleteHarman as PM is the standard really now that low!
ReplyDeleteAnyone lucky enough to make it to birth under her faces being raped in childhood. Except she doesn't see it as rape. Rape is any heterosexual sex but nothing else.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, this is a little too much. Are we still saying that Hatty was some kind of supporter of paedophilia?
ReplyDeleteShe was legal advisor to the PIE, yes. "Attitudes were different in thos days", apparently. Well, evidently...
ReplyDeleteNew Labour, the ageing flotsam and jetsam of the Seventies Hard Left on the fringes of academia.
ReplyDeleteQuite.
ReplyDeleteBut is there any killer documented evidence, a pro-paedophile article or something - something quotable?
ReplyDeleteI have had broadsheet journalists email me to say that they have her name on PIE documents, yes. I expect all of this to come out if she ever does stand for Leader. No one cares about Deputy Leader.
ReplyDeleteIn which case, I'm tempted to inform Cruddas about this... That's if he doesn't already know. Talk of a dream ticket between the two seems pretty odd - she the clueless New Labour loyalist, he the critical supporter who seems to have some awareness of how Labour has lost its traditional and alienated potential voters. Though, he doesn't half come off like an academic when he does talks - he seems to be improving on this front, mind.
