Tories Set-Up Anti-Miliband Unit

According to the Telegraph the Tories have set up an anti-Miliband unit. Here is Guido's favourite picture of the wonk for their files...
He sets out his manifesto here, it is a post-socialist analysis, but his prescriptions (elsewhere) are scary. The authoritarian approach to enforcing a green regime puts Guido in fear. All his talk of "social contracts" just smacks of state diktat based on anti-capitalist prejudice dressed up as environmental concern. One thing for sure is that freedom of choice will not enter into his plans.

He has never had a proper job. He comes from an 'academic' Marxist family. After university he has been a gofer in 'think tanks' and a functionary in the Labour party

Kid with the hat: Buggered if I know, he just showed up a minute ago with all these photographers...

D. C. Warmington said...

A sales banner advertising "Prima choc"? Do my old eyes deceive me? Can Milibland really be promoting confectionery? How does this sit with Zanu Labour's condemnation of obesity and indeed pleasure? Surely he wouldn't allow himself to be photographed with a fat person?

Ah no. The boy, caught eating a Mars Bar, has been handcuffed and is about to be sent for re-education.

Context explains all.

Narkedtorynark said...

Sorry to spoil the fun. But the Tories have not "set up an anti-Miliband unit". Just a desperate hack doing his master's bidding because the Telegraph is part of the anyone but Gordon campaign. The Anti-Miliband Unit only exists in the over-active imagination of the Telegraph's Toby Helm - a man increasingly desperate to replace his dreary boss George Jones as the paper's political editor.
Can we please get back to something more interesting?!

Milimong has a slightly deranged kiddie fidler look doesn't he ?
A commons committee has stated unambiguously that the caravan queen should have been sacked for her handling of defra, rather than promoted to foreign secretary. ANYONE WHO THINKS DEFRA HAS IMPROVED UNDER MILIMONG IS DREAMING.

Martin Curtis said...

Milliband is a pseudo-intellectual academic, as my dad used to say: "All Brains and No Hands". He has absolutely no spark. The Tories must love the prospect of him becoming PM.

Ed said...

We are still living with some of the consequences of those times: the families struggling to get on the housing ladder; the young people outside education, training or work, unsure of their futures.

Actually, people struggle to get on the ladder because of command economy controls on land, fail to get an education because of the comprehensive system and are unsure of their futures because the economy isn't competitive.

Sorry about the policy rant but nothing about this can be made funny.

Anyway seeing as the solo socialist blogger in South Shields has now given up and got a proper job, I can proudy say "I Can"

This item is not actually from Guido at all: it is an M15 plant. A shameless distraction from the fact that their rivals in MI6 have secured an Iranian capitulation. All they had to do, it seems, was to promise Tehran that, if the Brit speed-boat-folk weren't given back pronto, Margaret Beckett would be sent out to reorganise their agricultural payments system.

I respect that you are a passionate man who really thinks that he's doing his best to expose the evils of goverment. But face reality, your no George Orwell. I say this not because of your bad performance on newsnight (yes Mr white looked like a fool too, but lets not beat around the bush, you certainly came off worse)
I am well informed about politics, im no fan of the bbc or other news providers but im intellegent enough to make my own mind up about the vested interests of politicians and journos alike. You failed to mention that you have your own interests. After all you've got t-shirts to sell, people to keep entertained and your own ego to satisfy. Im not saying in anyway that you are worse than any journo out there. Sadly you are just the same. Of course this will attract much anger from some who will write in and tell me that i know nothing and that you really are a great man who's telling it like it is. In 20 years time, nobody will remember you. As i said your no George Orwell.

Agent Provocateur said...

It is a very odd article indeed. It would seem to be an attempt to claim some ideological ground without giving any substance whatsoever. And ideology is itself an oddity from Bliar's discredited crew. Surely it must be judged as an extended form of sound-byte politics. I can't discern any Marxist element in it, as some seem to imagine, but I agree with Big G that it's ominous while attempting to appear popularist. Is 'iCan' a Nouveau Laboure form of iPod? For that matter, is Miliband related to the Taliband?

Ryan said...

"Im not saying in anyway that you are worse than any journo out there. Sadly you are just the same."

There is a world of difference between Guido and the rest of the journo. Guido is opposed to this government and therefore has an incentive to expose its lies and corruption, whilst the other journos are in the governments pocket and do everything they can to distract attention from the government's failings.

By the way, Guido, I notice that your arch-nemesis Michael White was making a tit of himself in the Guardian yesterday by writing about Scottish politics - a subject he clearly knows nothing about.

Crystyoldbloke said...

Bloody teenagers! They know it all at that age. It's only when they grow up that they realise that no one knows it all

Personally, I can't stand cheeky kids!

BTW, is Milliband Latin for 1000 bandits?

Ryan 2 said...

@agent provocateur

It most definjitely is a Marxit/Leninist ideology. Firstly, Milibland dismisses the concept of the individual. But then look at this line:-

An "I can" society asks new things of citizens, and demands that they acquire new skills.

But what does he mean by "society"? Society cannot demand anything of anybody - unless it is embodied by the state. So it is the state that will demand things of people (as opposed to the democratic principle by which the people demand things of the state).

This is not an "I can" society he is describing at all. Those are words he has used to dress it up as something more palatable. The words should read "The state will force me to do". Now read the whole article with the words "I can" replaced by the words "The state will force me to do". You will see at once that there is substance, and that it is a Marxist/Leninist collectivist state he is describing dressed up as some kind of local commune. The only element his has ditched has been the concept of centralised control.

This man is not bland after all. He really is dangerous.

Agent Provocateur said...

Ryan 2 ... I don't like it either, but to claim it as Marxist is an absurd exaggeration. Most certainly the individual/citizen has the right to demand things of the state in a secular democracy, but that same individual/citizen also has responsibilities. It's not a one way street. If the citizens of this country don't acquire marketable skills, we will fail to compete on international markets to the detriment of us all. By your logic JFK must have been a raving red when he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Have you ever actually read Marx or Lenin? It's not Marxist, but it is authoritarian. The two are not synonymous. It does smack of the nanny state.
