Which Way Now
As Tony Blair prepares to stand down as leader of the Labour Party and Prime Minister,he leaves it in the same state as he it found it, a mess. With the party nose diving  in the polls and even their most loyal supporters questioning the partys viability,which way do they go next. Locally Labour have lost their way and many councillors have taken the money and ran.
Dodgy David Cameron the great white hope for the Torries is truely a waste of space with his thin coating of I care Politics he can be easily seen through,but such is the state of the Government both in London and Holyrood,he is seen by some as actually believable. Up here in Scotland the very frightening Andy Bell Goldie the Torries first minister in waiting-and she will be waiting for a very long time- is for want of better words just plain rubbish,very slightly better than Nicol Stevens the lib-dems lame duck,and not far behind these two chancers is political money bags himself Alex Salmond,whose personal wealth just keeps on going up as he stands yet again for Holyrood-God help us-.
So this is the legacy that Labour leaves us. As Jack my suits are to big for me McConnell is hung out to dry and left to fight the dying Labour cause with ex councillors and party hacks and not to forget the ever resigning Malcolm priciples Chisholm,what must be going through this ex school teachers mind, He might wonder if the the belt should have been banned as we bet he would like to thrash some of his so called comrades. Jack is a lost cause and more and more starts to resemble Robinson Crusoe,alone on a desert island with only hot air for company.
No new ideas,only panic measures and damage limitation exercises as the Labour crown slips and begins its fall from grace. Labour the political voice of the weakest has shown its true colors none more so than the twice disgraced Peter Mandelson who told us all that Labour had no objection to the rich becoming filthy rich,and this from someone who wants or wanted to be seen as the voice of the voiceless.
The flame of the new Labour experiment is all but out,what is left is the tasteless fight between the blairites and the fogs[Friends of Gordons]. The country is left to witness their petty squabbles when neither are now fit to lead the party or be Prime Minister. You are handing power to the Torries who will as they have done before squeeze the poor with a smile on their faces. Iraq,cash for honors,jobs for the boys,and infighting at the top of the tree will sink Labour without trace,and indeed they deserve it. Those who have both locally and nationally hung on to office for too long may feel the wrath of the voter,as scapegoats are sought for the mess that we are plunging into.
There is no excuse nor escape route for those who have either profited or sat back and gone with the flow. the games up you have been rumbled,but we are the losers who will have to pick up the pieces and pay the price.
