Scotsman.com News - Latest News - Labour Candidate Deserts 'Authoritarian' Blair

It is begun.

Blair left it till nearly mid day to announce the election date, May 5, and start the campaign.

Last time, he did it literally over the heads of a bunch of primary school children.

This time he appears to have announced it from Downing Street. But the cringe factor is still there. It will just be the NL people cringing today though.

Kennedy has begun with a master stroke, nothing less than a defector, proclaiming the dangerous new authoritarianism of those Nice Lads from New Labour. Pity he sounded so wet though.

There was a good article in the Guardian last week linking both main parties with a new form of fascism. We all know what the tories are thinking for us about immigration control: keep out the nig nogs and exterminate the gypsies.

Did you know that the third way was fascism speak between the last two world wars?

This morning I heard Blair talk of the election like it would be handing him the future, presumably permanently.

The labour lead in the polls is down to 3%

Here' to 100 more defections, then.
