Mandelson's pot calls Byers' kettle black!

Peter Mandelson has some front. He calls the greedy antics of Byers, Hoon and Hewitt grubby. Here's a man who has ducked better than the most activated duck and dived better that a gold medallist at the Olympics. They say that oil and water don't mix. Well, Mandelson disproves that theory as much as he disproves nearly all the others.

New Labour is probably the most vile political vision to have been afflicted on the British people. In fact, it is something nobody should revere or praise. It is a deluding concept that turns people into rampantly greedy people, who lose all sight of reality. My big fear is that the poison that the New Labour chalice has in it will have infected too many voters come polling day. It has already befuddled the mind of Stephen Byers, who has the brass neck to suggest that his "caught-on-camera" remarks were all not really meant. Byers says he is a "cab for hire" but it sounds more like he is a car that's been "inadvertently" found in a red light district. Very seedy indeed!

Whatever Mandelson says, whatever the Labour Party does, it still signifies that this Blairite version of a quack doctor's remedy for carpetbaggers is utterly contemptible. I suggest that if any Labour candidate comes knocking at the general election they are given short shrift in good measure. My fantasy is that all of them receive ZERO votes. If only!
