Missives to dismiss
Dear all,Sometimes being a Labour Party activist can be a lonely occupation. The same few party members discussing item three on the agenda; “How can we get more people to come to meetings?” It’s no different in the Cabinet; Tony Blair sits there with a handful of ministers and lots of empty chairs and says “Um, let’s just give it a few more minutes and see if anyone else turns up.”
But this weekend you could be one of thousands of Labour supporters across the country descending on Labour’s key seats. This looks set to be an even greater mass mobilisation of political activists than the rush to join Robert Kilroy-Silk’s Veritas Party. Think of Mao’s long march; think of the unemployed walking from Jarrow. Your trip to South Dorset will one day rank alongside such epic treks in the history of
socialism. (Every time I try and type that word the head office computer crosses it out).See you this weekend,
John O’Farrell
Ever since I found myself at last year’s Labour Party conference with work, I have received a string of diktats and pulp sheets masquerading as light-hearted campaigning.
In the run-up to the election, I thought I will share some of the more painful ones with you all.
