Some bloke called Ken Livingstone has – apparently – lost an election in some out of the way place somewhere down south. His excuse for losing is here in The Grauniad’s CiF.
My comment:
If there is one thing the Left have achieved in recent history, with your erstwhile help, of course - it is revealing that the Left is not 'Progressive' at all, if it is anything at all it is Regressive.
From communism at one extreme to Blair's hopeless '
The only reason 'the Left' still exists is that its tropes have become the default unthinking reflex of the trendy metropolitan folk - like Grauniad readers for example. Where to be anything other than 'on the left' is regarded as only slightly more abhorrent that being a paedophile, or admitting still having a liking for last year's hip new band, or being seen drinking a coffee from an unfashionable retail coffee outlet.
