The whole boiling of Labour droids** on the electric wireless today, from Darling through Mandy to, oh whoever they were... have said nothing, nada, nichts, nix, nil about their own record or policies. Their litany is nothing more than Do Not Vote Tory! Do Not Vote Tory! Tories Are Wicked Bastards! Do Not Vote Tory!
Whenever anyone, including the Booker circus troupe, keeps on and on and on about the marvellous book they're reading and how I simply have to read it, I go right off the idea. Permanently. They can GIVE me the bloody book if they like, and it will sit on the bookshelf unread for ever. If this is Labour's strategy... if this is all we are going to get between now and the election... many people will react like that, and do the opposite. They'll vote Tory out of rage: rage at being lied to, betrayed, robbed and patronised by a moribund party which insists that it has a right to power over the electorate, and lacks the imagination even to change the record.
If they keep this up, Labour will be lucky to get as many seats as Clegg.
If this is Mandelson's brilliant idea, it's a good one. For Cameron's Conservatives.
** With the respectable if malevolent, streetfighting exception of Mr Cruddas.
