The Launch of Nu Layb'R - Soft on Crime, Tough on the Victims of Crime

A strange thing happened to me this morning as I watched sunrise on Sky News, I actually gained a great deal of respect for Mr. Miliband, Not Ed obviously but David, I felt on Monday that his speech was very well written and delivered, much better than the excuse for a speech given by Miliband Junior yesterday, But what increased my respect for David is the comment he made to Harriett Haman during his brothers speech, whilst Edward (or should it be Redward?) was trying to pretend that the Iraq war had nothing to do with the Labour party David turned to Labours Deputy Leader and said ‘You voted for it, why are you clapping?’ finally a member of the Labour party who actually remembers that a great deal of the issues they are so upset about are problems of their own making.

As for Miliband the Younger’s Speech I think it was a weak speech, weakly given in which Jr tried to be a soundbyte to all people and ended up being a politician to no one. I actually gave an audible laugh to the comment he made about how New Labour had realised they had to be tough on crime as well as tough on the causes of crime, and they were right to do it!! Right to do what exactly? How out of touch can the Labour party be if they honestly believe that we live in a society where the man on the street believes that there is justice and the streets are safe, I would perhaps suggest that Labours mantra really should be “Soft on Crime, Tough on the victims of crime!” He came out with another claim to be the next generation of Labour (I know that Red is a little bit of a non-personality but surely people remember that he was in the last cabinet, so not exactly a fresh start, and surely if Ms. Harman is still involved we will still get the constant stream of ridiculous ill thought out edicts.) We have had Labour then New labour so I guess Lill’ Mill must be announcing the launch of Nu Layb’R

I think the real question is that when Ed Milibland (Yes I can keep coming up with new names.) gives a speech to the TUC what will he use as his entrance music? “Puppet on a String.” Or “A little help from my Friends”?

And the winner is ...

The Labour Leadership campaign is over and the Winner is Ed Miliband, despite not being able to hold the majority of support of MPs, Euro MPs and Labour activists, the stranger looking Miliband was able to overcome the odds and beat his much more experienced (and more normal looking - ok I wont keep going on about his look as it really isn't important in a politician but you have to admit he is a strange looking guy.) Brother.

Anyway, what does this mean for the country? personally I have no idea! in theory the fact that anyone is willing to vote for Labour, a party who have never had a government who have not bankrupted the country, is completely beyond me. but I am happier to be up against Ed than David as I think that the public are starting to see right through the Unions so I can't imagine anyone would happily elect the Unions boy to run the country.

The Big Fight Miliband Vs Miliband

It is shaping up to be a fight for the labour leadership between Miliband and Miliband (Although it would appear that the Union Unite are still talking Balls - As in Edward)

I have to admit that I find both Miliband brothers slightly annoying, but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter, I do not expect to see a Labour government for at least ten years and so firmly believe that the two brothers are fighting over the right to be leader of the opposition until someone else (Please god - not Harriet Harman permanently) comes to lead Labour back into power. I would assume that this will have to wait however until people are able to vote who can not remember the current financial mismanagement.
