What the labor MP candidate was doing in that conversation, if replicated across the entire political spectrum of parties was making war. The candidate was explicitly rejecting important interests that traditionally lead to violence and dumping the responsibility on a layer of government that is infamously unresponsive to democratic control. <br /><br />You don't *do* that. It is incredibly irresponsible. It is obviously something that the candidate was instructed to say and if that's what Labour was doing across the UK, I would be surprised that they wouldn't lose more MPs than the one they actually did (God rest her soul). <br /><br />The political class *must* obey the baseline requirements and do their jobs in order to settle things peacefully or violence will be the order of the day and eventually a revolution will follow. I hate the prospect and cannot understand why this observation is not blindingly obvious to all concerned but, clearly, the observation is *not* obvious otherwise that MP candidate would not have had that conversation.

Obama's "fundamentally transformed" remark was merely the most inartful statement of a typical attitude. No mere stewards of the public welfare, they are eager to rule.Jonathanhttp://chicagoboyz.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-4671092377152544742016-07-01T13:00:31.387-04:002016-07-01T13:00:31.387-04:00Add to that the fact that some Labor MPs knew of t...Add to that the fact that some Labor MPs knew of the grooming of young English girls in their communities and did nothing about it.
