Michael Howard you bastard!
Michael Howard you bastard! I swore blind nothing could make me vote Labour
and then you go and do this!
In France people held their noses and voted for Chirac under the inspiring
slogan, "Vote for the Crook not the Nazi."
So in England are we stuck with "Vote for the lying warmonger not the racist lying warmonger."?
What a glorious prospect. We deserve a better choice. (I will still vote socialist if there is a candidate.)

However a lot depends on how Labour reacts. If they respond by trying to prove they are every bit as "tough on immigrants" as the Tories we will end up with a kind of dutch auction...with both sides parroting Heinrich Himmler's notorious phrase "This is not racism it is common sense."

Is anybody going to stand up and say the issue of immigration is irrelevant? It is one world. We have to help each other. - and back that up with policies to spend more on public services so the shortages which the racists blame on immigrants no longer exist. (That is not very New Labour is it?)
