How tedious; the usual right wing tosh that right wingers repeat ceaselessly. Anon, I doubt you represent the ‘people’ of this country, and I think it would be a very bad idea for the Labour party to follow your advice. You are clearly on the right, you also know it, and it’s all so very, very boring.
There’s no point in wasting time discussing policy only to point out that no, we don’t tend to agree with your selective negativity, your political positions and analysis of the Cabinet. Surprised? You’re entitled to your views, why not discuss them on a right wing blog?
Anon, you have absolutely no idea who I am. You’re ‘guess’ is pathetically inaccurate for both me and just about everyone I’ve ever met in the Labour party. I wouldn’t be so rude as to speculate on details of your life and personality, other than to suggest that you’re not nearly as clever as you think you are.

Joe – I am from a Labour working class background from the old school where people say what they mean and mean what they say. I am naturally right wing hence my support and my votes for Tony Blair. I absolutely resent the “full third term” bit and the disgraceful way Brown behaved.
I will respond more fully later – I’m on a new iPhone and not used to it and btw you said I was clever not me.

Joe – Having looked over your posting again and being in front of a real keyboard I have a couple of point to make in response.
Your first paragraph: If you don’t believe that a Labour government slavishly following (or perhaps encouraging if that liar Cambell is to be believed) the actions of a rabid right wing Republican president called George Bush into foreign wars is not traditionally a position adopted by the right then I don’t know what is. Labour used to support CND for goodness sake – your point is clearly not based in reality – in the 12 years of Labour we have had numerous wars – in fact this government seems to love foreign interventions that have noting to do with us.
The cabinet: Since we know that (at least) six of them want rid of this useless bully of a Prime Minister and his popularity has hit a historic in the polls – which will crucify Labour at the election – I can only conclude that (again) you are wrong here as well.
Who are you Joe?: No idea but you display all the usual New Labour traits that people find unattractive, that is always criticise the messenger and never answer or discuss the message. (That comment was aimed at Will Straw and Shamik Das btw – criticise me on what I said by all means but not on what I haven’t said please, that’s rude).
So you say “There’s no point in wasting time discussing policy only to point out that no, we don’t tend to agree with your selective negativity, your political positions and analysis of the Cabinet”.
To be clear Joe I am not selectively negative, I am un-selectively negative about this hopeless bunch – pretty much they are all useless and weak, if they weren’t that idiot Brown would be gone by now.
I like winners myself (like Blair) because winners can affect change and improve other peoples lives – losers can’t.
If more people like me had challenged the way Labour was run with an inner circle of thugs and bullies – Liam Byrne, Damian McBride, Derek Draper and his ilk – we might be more electable.
It may be OK to you Joe to smash office furniture and throw mobile phones in a hissy fit to get your own way but to me that is not OK – you call my opinions negative if you want. I’ll call them decent.
Perhaps that’s why Jack Straw was ‘leant’ on over the Post Office – why do you think that happened Joe? Give me another explanation for it and I may change my view.
Labour is going to be hammered because they’re useless under Brown not because the Tories are any good and people like you with your views will hasten their demise.

Joe – I’m not expecting a reply btw – for people like yourself that would just be too much to ask…
