Crewe Cut

The Conservatives have taken the formerly safe Labour seat of Crewe with a majority of 7,860.

I'm not exactly jumping up and down about this one. While it's great to see New Labour taking one in the eye, it isn't much of a win when it goes to New Conservative, which runs on the manifesto of "we're just like New Labour except we'll do it bit less wretchedly."

Now if they'd won on a promise of (for a start) repealing everything that New Labour has done in the past eleven years, dismantling the Welfare State forthwith, placing a moratorium on immigration, quiting the EU immediately and admitting flatly that we are at war and that it will be prosecuted as such with full vigour and a tripled defence budget with all combat operations funded by emergency spending bills, then you'd get my attention.

    Well, at least it's better than the racist skinhead bunch known as the BNP. Robot Team Hyper Tory Force Go, as far as I'm concerned.
