Pollard lashes out again
It doesn't quite compare for absurdity (what could?) to his infamous outburst:The mainstream Left has demonstrated clearly which side of the battle to preserve Western civilisation and freedom it is on. The Left, in any recognisable form, is now the enemy.
but Stephen Pollard's post today is eerily reminiscent of the Thatcherites in the last days of her Premiership - the hysterical tone, the sense of betrayal, the apparent belief that it can never be right for party members to say to a leader 'it's time to step down', the disconnect from reality (he wasn't gong to stand again, anyway), and the hope that the party without the Leader gets destroyed.
What a load of hypocritical tossers (pardon my language but it's what they are) those Labour members are. They've spent the past decade bitching about Blair, and now that he's off into the sunset they cheer him to the rafters. Well live with it, you idiots. You're the ones who wanted rid of him, forced him to announce his departure, and rendered him impotent. Ha-bloody-ha: now you're going to have to live with the consequence:
The difference, of course, is the Thatcherites had nowhere else to go, whereas Pollard has already jumped ship to David Cameron.
Update: Oliver implies (I think that's the point of the uncannily and weirdly) that Stephen Pollard was merely quoting something he had said to him. I think this reinforces my point. When you hear Stephen Pollard say to the Labour party "ha ha, you're now going to live with the consequences", whereby consequences he means the party's electoral defeat, you can dismiss it as the remarks of man who belives the left is on the other side in the battle for western civilisation and freedom. When Oliver Kamm is saying that too, you can easily see the Blairite's sense of betrayal could destroy the government.
