Ed Miliband's speech to the Labour Party Conference seems to have been more of the same old socialist claptrap dressed up in pious language.
While telling the audience how much he believed in 'one nation', he also made it clear that the party's policy under his leadership would be to soak those who had anything in order to squander it on yet more wasteful government spending. An assortment of ideas to help the supposed poor and young while ignoring the real problems of our society were trotted out with no mention that it was a period of Labour government, of which Miliband was a senior member, which had brought us to this sorry state in the first place. Everything was the fault of the current failed administration, even though it's only been in place for a little over 2 years.
Apparently the speech went down well in Labour circles and has been considered to be one of Miliband's best performances since he assumed leadership of his party. That may well be so, but heaven help us if it convinces anyone to vote again for a party, and a leader, which left our country on the point of financial meltdown.
