One own goal after another for cynical Socialist stupidity

I remain convinced that nobody’s comforting prejudices will have been altered by QT. Quite the reverse in fact.

There will be a greater swing away from Labour and to the BNP following yesterday's Telegraph revelations about cynical racial engineering by the Labour Party. It does not surprise close observers of the more determined socialist-ideology elements of the Labour Party; the only surprise is the admission** and reports of it in the press.

In general terms if not specifics, the whole country has known about Labour’s immigration strategy for years and discussed it in samizdat and in the corners of working men's clubs where BNP campaigners joined the discussion and stood their round. Comment in more refined circles, though, was totally suppressed. Witch-finders were despatched and quangos created whenever a slightly heightened level of murmuring caused concern.

Shame on Labour’s ruthless anti-democratic cynics and on those too cowardly to expose and oppose them.

I agree that politics and the media did themselves no favours by ganging up on Mr Griffin before an audience of millions. This was a drawing-room version of the un-cerebral hysteria which has seen him elected to the European Parliament. They handed him an emotional advantage which may or may not translate into votes: a few, undoubtedly, but I would think fewer than he will harvest from the latest revelations about the Labour party’s immigration politics.

All in all, the sophisticates have turned out to be about as smart as some of Mr Griffin’s most intellectually challenged disciples.

Further, the BBC clearly has a case to answer under the general heading of political impartiality if Mr Griffin complains that the programme was re-engineered into a form of kangaroo court especially for his benefit. I find it hard to account for such cosmic stupidity in all those bright young things who became BBC managers after years spent going on courses on aspiration and motivation. No, wait… on second thoughts, it’s not hard at all…

The bear-baiting tactic will have brought a smile to the lips of the usual suspects but all they have is a Pyrrhic victory. As a political strategy it only illustrates the poverty of public debate underpinning our collapsing politics.

** I was about to say that it will be fun watching the Labour Party trying to appeal to the ref after their spectacular own goal but the BBC is going to be in a flat spin following the Griffin affair so their political inquisitors (e.g. Crick) and the Labour journals (New Statesman, Guardian) are unlikely to have time to challenge the Labour Party (as if) in the matter.

I suppose any discussion will be confined to the blogs which will no doubt receive skip-loads of the usual un-cerebral hard left brown stuff, in full conformity with what everyone now knows to be official Labour Party policy: manipulation in attack and suppression in defence. The old Soviet prophets would be so proud.
