		<description><![CDATA[Good grief. I thought that the age of politicians cynically talking out interviews was over. Over the past 13 years Peter Mandelson had developed the art of talking a lot but saying nothing. He honed his techniques of deceit and obfuscation and almost rendered interviews pointless. His goal was to say nothing. I thought that with New Labour out of power we might return to the days when the purpose of political interviews was to give the public a chance to understand the actions of politicians. It seems that Zach Goldsmith, MP for Richmond Park, has other ideas.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2743&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Labour party wont move on until it faces up to its mistakes and rejects the unsavoury characters from the New Labour years. If it doesn't then, once the Tories have fallen out of favour, we will be faced with another Labour government  wastin ti's time on spin rather than achieving objectives. In the words of Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition the Labour party need to “Confess the heinous sin of heresy”and “reject the works of the ungodly”.  ie admit that they screwed up and chuck out the likes of Balls.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2712&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Globalisation is all very well while the foreign money is pouring in and funding industry and jobs but once these foreign owners have their feet under the table they often find that it is more efficient to centralise production and transfer the industry abroad. This would be fair enough were it possible for British companies to buy up industry in China, Germany or Japan in the same way but other countries are not as open as the UK.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2657&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This stands in stark contrast to Mr. Hattersley's timid silence during the lost years of New Labour as the media men took over the reins of power, cozying up to big business and making waffle the newspeak of government. Let us not forget that at the height of New Labour's tenure in office John Prescott was pushing through a bill to build super casinos! What political belief could have driven him to such nonsense? - It certainly was not socialism.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2407&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other term they are all been using is "progressive" They are all progressives now apparently. I have no idea in what way they think they are progressive unless it is in changing what Ben Bradshaw, out of nowhere, termed "our broken and completely discredited electoral system". If the electoral system was such an issue for Labou then it is strange that did not think to change it before they went to the country. The truth is that New Labour are doing what they have always done which to compromise their principles in order to stay in power.

		<description><![CDATA[In the 21st Century British cabinet members appear as if out of nowhere. Like Star Trek’s Mr. Spock, Peter Mandelson fiddles with the controls and yet another cloned version of himself shimmers into life. Another yes man who can “send the right message” but not “do the right thing”.

A review of the education and work experience of cabinet ministers is enlightening. Unsurprisingly few of the cabinet are “doers”. Most have worked in occupations such as Think Tanks, Public Relations, Lobby Group or Advertising and many of the senior cabinet figures have previously worked for an incumbent MP.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2285&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It may seem right that the Tories get attacked for this but we all know that this sort of thing goes on and I would like to remind everyone that it was New Labour who pledged to reform the House of Lords. In practice this reform amounted to doing away with the hereditary principle and promoting the sort of back street dealing that is the traditional path for Life Peers. Lord Ashcrof's appointment would not have happened if Tony Blair had not made a balls up of House of Lords reform.

This morning we were told that Michael Foot has died. As the media is reporting, Mr. Foot was an old style Labour politicians. A socialist and a man of principle.

The fear must now must be that traditional Labour supporters will recall fondly the honestly and integrity of Michael Foot and, in misty eyed desperation, decide that Gordon Brown best reflects those same characteristics. It could be that the electorate hand the government of the country to the very man who betrayed Labour's principles and plunged the country into the worst mess since Denis Healey was forced to go begging to the IMF in 1976.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&blog=2000120&post=2170&subd=talkingbollocks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
