Mrs Duffy and Ipswich

Andrew Cann has another reminiscence of the Labour mask slipping:

One comment I would have made, if technically able, on the post you make about Mrs Duffy and the local labour candidates not condemning Brown is that I recall in 2004 when the Labour Party got stuffed in the local elections they blamed the electorate for not voting for them. For being ‘ungrateful’. Always stuck in my mind. It betrays that statist do ‘do as we say’ attitude of them.

Thank God we didn’t have Mark Battersea Dyson rather than Andrew Cann as the Ipswich candidate. The Lib Dem surge would have been very threatening with a candidate. There’s a film on the Guardian website which really shows the difference between the two.

By the way the comment on Comrade Ross and the other Labour twitterers (twits?) still stands. Every day you refuse to condemn that Scottish pension snatcher for his imperious attitude is another day you betray the voters that you presumably came into politics to advance and defend.
