On the Bookshelf

At the moment folks having a great time reading, A View from the Foothills, The Diaries of Chris Mullin ( paperback ), they really take you in to the heart that was the political monster that was New Labour. What makes it interesting is that Mr Mullin is self aware, by his own ambition and how that can be the reverse of his political principals, how much he is a fan of Tony Blair, but considered from the left of the Party. Also for those interested in political history it is interesting to see how Labour MPs dealt with the Iraq War, how unreality of the House of Commons was not matched by the protests outside. On whole if your travelling in public transport and this blog does you can read the Diaries with a smile on your face, and thank God you didn’t vote for New Labour, even in 1997, could never quite understand why Labour and the UK become obsessed by Blair, to this blog he was always a small c Conservative but in Labour clothes, how that it left wing is beyond this blog. Well as the new Labour Leader has stated, the Party is now beyond New Labour, is beyond Old! Tony Blair must be glad he is in Israel.
