Rawnsley vindicated


Remember when his book came out before the election? Remember how the NewLabour attack machine rolled into action pooh-poohing his tales of a dysfunctional bunch of ego maniacs? Chief among them was a certain venal, mendacious and slimy toe-rag, aka Baron (It Beggars Belief) Mandelson. 

Rawnsley stuck to his guns - with good reason. The latest self-serving dose of 'I Did it My Way' comes from one Tony Blair, ex PM and would-be war criminal. It appears that Rawnsley was too soft in his assessment of the follies and foibles of our leadership clan. All of this was well-known to most if not all Labour MPs. It was certainly well known to the inner circle. And what did they do about the raving and uselessness of Brown? 

What an indictment of our system. What an insight into how much further we have to go to improve our democracy and wean it away from the wealthy , the greedy and the stupid. 

Why the hell should we trust any of the buggers? To amend Churchill's pithy phrase a little, "They rat, and then they re-rat."
