The decision by David Milliband, brother of Labour leader Ed, to take a new job heading up International Rescue exposes a deep ideological rift at the heart of the party (and indeed the Milliband family). Ed has long been known for his commitment to stop-motion claymation - indeed it is rumoured that he began life as an abandoned Aardman project. His close friendship with sinister Aardman mastermind Nick Park is viewed with suspicion by some, who claim Ed is 'in Aardman's pocket'. Brother David, on the other hand, has long been associated with the supermarionation techniques of Gerry Anderson and his followers. Now, by taking over from Jeff Tracy at the head of International Rescue, David has nailed his colours firmly to the mast. Socialists Are Go!
Hopefully the last we shall hear of the dirty dynastic doings, the word on the street, or at least South Shields Ocean Rd, is that the next Labour candidate is an ex Hapag-Lloyd shipping container and they are expecting to increase their majority.
ReplyDeleteHo ho - very good Malty!
ReplyDeleteCould you not oppose the privatisation of the NHS service which will not stand another term of the present government. This would be a better target than the Milliband brothers.
