Restless Farewell

Very, very spasmodic posting over the next ten days as the push to maximise the vote picks up speed. Although, as Austim Mitchell says... Crosman once said that Labour pretends to give the rank and file influence over policy in return for their work at elections. Both pretences are now gone. Policy comes from the top down, drizzled down like pesto or chucked at us in lumps. The election work is done by professionals paid for by millionaires.

Not round here though.
