What does the BlairiteL labour right really want?


I reflect today that I may only buy one more bus ticket. This is because on April 7th I reach the age of 60. In Wales because of devolution we get bus passes at this age. I discover as well because of being registered as partially sighted i can claim a blue badge and in addition a disabled person's rail card. Those of us born in the late 1950s are fortunate to have been born at this time with a Welfare state . Now it is under threat and i wonder as the bus roars over Crynant Common of motivation of certain groups within the Labour Party and without screaming against socialism and Jeremy Corbyn.. do they think that a right wing government will protect these hard won rights and services? The truth is that for the first time a major party leader is critical of the state of Israel.. and we have the ambitions of certain ambitious Blairites...and when Labour leads in the polls and it's six weeks to the local elections .. the truth becomes clear that the Labour Party has certain individuals within it would prefer a Tory government to a socialist one. It is time for mandatory re-selection . There is no excuse every officer, every candidate, every councillor should experience this. This is about democracy and accountability. A party must be democratic and it's representatives must reflect and honour the decisions of it's members. There can be no other way...
