I despair of Labour

There are times when I really really despair of Labour's attitude at the moment. I came across this posting on the dreadful Labour list saying that "Yesterday was truly the day that the Tories said goodbye to women’s votes"

Why? Alan Duncan took the piss out of Harriet Harman by suggesting that her love of stilettos constitutes "preparation for her becoming Prime Minister".

Now it wasn't probably very funny but to suggest that because of that women won't vote for Tories is risible.

Women might well vote for the Tories for exactly the same reasons why men will vote for the Tories: to get us out of the deep deep shitter that this Government has got us into ....

While not wishing to defend for a moment the bunch of wombats currently in power, do you seriously think that the Tory shower would actually get us out of the current mess any sooner, or, for that matter, would have avoided the mess in the first place? I'm afraid that the Tories are just as blind to the problems of corporate greed and incompetence and Labour have, in fact, just copied the previous Tory government in that respect. The global financial crisis just happened to have come along during a Labour government - if the Tories were in power it would have happened just the same and they would be just as clueless.
