Hey Buddy, Can You Spare Me A Parallel?

Via the Wide Awakes, what may well be a very familiar sounding tale to those of us who grew up with Derek Hatton and the infamous Militant Tendency in the 80's. For me the antics of the 'Loony Left' Labour local Councils and their 'nuclear free zones', councillors ranting about US smart bombs which were programmed only to target black people and complete inability to spend money on anything vaguely resembling essential services, were my first introduction to the true insanity of distilled Leftism, or Moonbattery as it is known in modern parlance.

Seems out in the good old US of A the Dems are having similar issues...

"The following account is most likely playing out across the country – especially in small rural communities. My source has asked me to keep silent until after the elections are over. Tomorrow I will reveal more of this story. But for now, suffice it to say that activists Democrats are quietly taking over the party and silently eliminating duly elected local party chairs by very unscrupulous and possibly illegal means."

Its called Entryism. The British Left is fantastic at it. Hell, they dont just restrict it to local parties, they have used it to infiltrate just about every TV newsroom in Britain...

"In comes a new party volunteer that offers to help get the local party online with a new web site. The local party is delighted. Donations come in, money is spent finding a good web site developer, and the local party web site goes online.

The helpful new volunteer offers to act as web administrator. The country chair is delighted. But little by little, the new web administrator takes more and more liberties and begins to publish “news articles” that are filled with questionable inflammatory opinions. The party chair asks the new volunteer to cease these activities. But the new volunteer refuses. Then the party chair is forced to remove the new volunteer as web administrator."

Its Militant all over again, updated for the Internet age...go read the whole thing, and if like me you remember well this stuff happening in the UK twenty years ago it will send a shiver down your spine...

Do You Know, I Don't Think Even The Devil Likes That Nice Mr Blair Very Much

Really.

I always thought Blair was the Devil myself - he has all the essential ingredients but the horns, and we only know that they aren't on his head...but the Devil in question here also notes that the dictator-in-chief hasnt actually said he is going to go as PM - just Party Leader - can it be that the arch-manipulator of the English language has managed to pull the wool over his own Party's eyes just as he has done to the country so many times? Read the words he used, supplied by Guido at the above link:

"The next party conference in a couple of weeks will be my last party conference as party leader, the next TUC conference next week will be my last TUC - probably to the relief of both of us."

There is, indeed, absolutely no commitment there to step down as PM. None at all. And before you say anything along the lines of 'how could he expect to perpetrate such a monstrous fraud' etc etc just remember who the hell it is your talking about! The man's premiership has been one endless succession of 'we would do it but we just CANT' moments which by now virtually nobody is believing except the same kind of people who think Mossad demolished the Twin Towers. This country is fucked, people, and this evil bastard was the one at the top overseeing it all.

Step down? He will have to be carried out of the door kicking, screaming, holding desperately onto the lintel while a burqa-clad Cherie flails ineffectually away at the Police dragging him out with her handbag full of the latest wad of cash wrung from suing under the Human Rights legislation her dear hubby pushed through Parliament.

Heh, actually do you know what, that's quite an entertaining image...anybody got any better scenarios for the final moment of departure? Answers in the comments please...

Quoty Quoty Quoty

Ladies and gents, I give you some more choice little moments from around the Blogosphere to be going on with...the first from Rottypup's new poster child, the charmingly namd Ranting Guttersnipe on the subject of Blair's supposedly imminent departure from office.

Mr Guttersnipe has fisked the Mirror's fawning article on this very subject in admirably blunt fashion:

Says The Mirror:

Mr Blair's final weeks in office will be particularly carefully choreographed to ensure cheers rather than jeers. Under the heading "Last month" the memo suggests: "Needs a daily grid, planned to the last detail. As much as possible a farewell tour, looking to the future, making sure the party is in the right place and the public remember him as he should be."

Says Mr Guttersnipe:

Rather than remember him as he was .... a limelight hugging statist control freak fucking camera whore with delusions of putting the rest of world to rights while shafting Britain up the ass with a pineapple?

Can't really argue with that one myself frankly. And on the subject of Rotty, well we all know that he and I are from very different schools of thought on the subject of Blair - I'm with Mr Guttersnipe, he is of a rather different opinion on the man himself, but it appears we are in complete agreement as to the vile nature of his Political Party:

"See, while Conservatives (right-thinking ones, anyway) are willing to give Blair huge credit for standing firm against Islamofascism, leftists everywhere loathe him for just this very reason. George Bush, closer ties with the U.S., the war in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq — Sooner or later, Labour back-benchers had to snap.

As it turns out, the final straw was Blair’s refusal to join them in condemning Israel for acting in her own defence. Given the almost-pathological levels of anti-Semitism present in the British left, perhaps this isn’t so surprising. But. Still. If Blair does fall over this issue, you couldn’t wish for a better example of all that’s wrong with leftism:

Wreck the country you’re supposed to be governing and they’ll smile approvingly — Try to prevent a second Holocaust and they’ll fire you."

Now THAT last line is right on the money.
