Ed Militant©
Ed Militant on the Andrew Marr show. Exclusive to Grumpy Old Twat.
Was there ever any doubt? There might have been doubt in the minds of the MPs, who voted by 53% to 47% for his Blairite elder brother; There might have been doubt in the minds of the ordinary Labour members, who voted 54% to 46% for his Blairite older brother, but was there ever any doubt in the minds of his puppet masters, the Union hard men who voted for Head Militant (the ‘H’ is silent) by 60% to 40% over his Blairite brother?
Ed Militant is now formally the Consigliere of the Labour Borgata.
The Unions had huffed and they’d puffed, threatening the already bankrupt Labour party with a complete withdrawal of their last remaining source of income if they failed to see the merit of electing a leader who would put the interests of the ‘comrades’ – that small section of the ‘hard working British families’ who are actually union members, first and foremost.
When asked by Sky TV how he reconciled the fact that so many MPs had voted for David Miliband, Derek Simpson’s eyes narrowed, and he starkly reminded those MPs who might be thinking of complaining, that it was his members and his comrades members who voted them into office, and could vote them out again – it was as close to a threat as I thought I would ever see on British TV.
We can now see exactly the point at which the Con-Dem government will hit a brick wall. It will not be when benefits are cut, it will not be when hard working British families en masse are feeling the pinch, it will arrive precisely at the moment when the first Union member is inconvenienced.
Let one ‘made man’ amongst the Union brothers have his air miles halved, or his God given right to work full time on Union business whilst being paid the same wage as those who toil on the production line, or his taxpayer funded jolly to Mauritius to study the effects of ‘global warming on trade relations’ from a deckchair, and the “winter of discontent” will seem positively mild by comparison.
Good, that means the boil will be lanced much sooner than if it had been dressed and tended by David Miliband.

Lovely summation of the situation, willl have to see if I can find that ‘threat’ sounds interesting!

“… and the “winter of discontent” will seem positively mild by comparison.”
Good! Bring it on! This, finally, is going to be the point at which the unions fatally overreach themselves…

Ed Milli-tant (I should have copyright that when I wrote on Guido’s blog many days ago) was always going to win with the support of the unions. It was the bullyboys what won it.

I was just listening to Radio this morning and heard the following statements from the New Old Labours leader Red Ed Militant.
“The r-Ed Terror is the extermination of enemies of the revolution on the basis of their class affiliation or of their pre-revolutionary roles.”
“There is nothing immoral in the party finishing off the dying class… in one month at most this terror will assume more frightful forms, on the model of the great revolutionaries of France. Our enemies will face not prison but the guillotine [which] shortens a man by the length of a head.”
“Root out the counterrevolutionaries without mercy, lock up suspicious characters in concentration camps… Shirkers will be shot, regardless of past service…”
“All the parties of capitalist society, all its moralists and all its sycophants will perish beneath the debris of the impending catastrophe. The only party that will survive is the party of the world socialist revolution…”

In the message on the glorious leaders hand. Do you think it is a reminder to be Gentle or Gentile.

Mildred (or mild-red, or MIL-DReadful-ED, etc, etc.) has no legitimacy. The Bruvvers mounted what was probably an illegal promotion of him on the ballot papers sent to their members. If D. Milliband had any cojones (but of course he proved he hadn’t in 2008 when he could have taken out Brown), he would mount a legal challenge.
Of course, a period in opposition did some good to the Conservatives, so Mildred may be a blessing in disguise. But, should he, against all the odds, win the next election, it’s curtains for the UK’s economy. -

For a bloke who doesn’t wear a flat cap/green jumper/shorts combo or indeed have particularly sticky-out ears or teeth, ‘Mildred’ really reminds me of ‘Plugg’ from The Bash Street Kids.
