The Higher You Build Your Barriers
If the Coalition does not like Ed Miliband's comparison of the anti-cuts protesters to the American Civil Rights movement and to those who campaigned against apartheid, then it ought to consider whether the ideal person to put on the media yesterday, or any other days, was or is Michael Gove, the old P W Botha cheerleader who is now backing Toby Young's (darkie-)free schools while withdrawing the Educational Maintenance Allowance from the kaffirs. Gove is also a huge admirer of Tony Blair, Stephen Byers and Alan Milburn. Of course.
In complaining that New Labour is riddled with people who have never said sorry for their Far Left past, Peter Hitchens sometimes says that we would never hear the end of it if leading Tories turned out to have been Far Right activists during that same 70s/80s period. But you are the only person pointing out that in fact they were. Gove is a striking example but no one knows better than you that there are plenty more where he came from.
ReplyDeleteIndeed there are. And it is not as if this is any sort of secret.
