New Labour Merchandise
I have been checking out New Labour's web site. I noted that it describes itself as "a democratic socialist party" who are they trying to kid?
In addition to all this, the site has a merchandise shop, where you can buy New Labour trinkets, bawbels and beads. I was quite surprised to note that they had Tony Benn's books on sale along with "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist".
I really find this quite annoying, as I have said in an earlier post, Blair had jettisoned any pretence to socialism that the Labour Party had, he considered it an election liability. So why carry on with the pretence.
