Listening to Ed Miliband on television this morning laves one wondering how anyone could possibly vote for this man. To borrow from Winston Churchill "An empty programme came on and Ed Miliband was it's star"
While insisting on his rather silly re-branding of the old "New Labour" to his bright and sparkly "One Nation Labour", Miliband failed to answer any of Andrew Marr's questions though Marr, as a bit of a BBC leftie himself, also failed miserably to press home his own points. Miliband simply made a whole load of incredibly vague comments, which some will undoubtedly pick up as actual policies, and basically said that he'd make sure we were all better off, except those "very rich" people who'd pay for all his largesse.
Miliband is a typical, but rather poor, politician. He wipes away the past with a sweep of the hand as if he was in no way associated with it. He tells us that he would do everything very differently from his predecessors, notwithstanding that his real freedom to do so would be heavily restricted. He promises the earth with loads of sugary nonsense and, in common with all of his predecessors, would deliver nothing but misery for us all. In common with his recent predecessors of all parties, his overriding aim is to gain power and he'll promise whatever he needs to in order to achieve it, regardless of whether it's good for the country and its people or not or whether he could actually Implement it or not.
Shockingly, today's "Andrew Marr Show" also presented us with the maniacally left wing Polly Toynbee and the even more bonkers Caroline Lucas, with only the very middle of the road Matthew Parris as a counterweight. It was, in effect, a perfect example of the BBC's version of balance and political impartiality. I can't wait to see how they approach the Conservative Party conference nest week.
