Several commentators have come out recently and declared their support for Labour 'while pinching their nose.’ In today’s Guardian, George Monbiot states why he thinks the case against Labour is strong and why he will not be voting for them. He lists many examples of NewLabour failings and he uses an interesting image to enhance his case.
“There's a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii that colonises the brains of rats, altering their behaviour to attract them to the scent of their predators. The rats seek out cats and get eaten, allowing the parasite to keep circulating. This is New Labour. It has colonised a movement that fought for social justice, distribution and decency, rewired its brain and delivered it to the fat cats who were once its enemies.”
This is of course in total contrast to the Tories, who are happily in bed with the fat cats and engaged in acts of mutual masturbation.
