Spot on this, imo

1. Bullshit. Pure Blairite bullshit.

For starters, even though I disagree with Labour on Fox hunting, mocking those who disagree with you on that issue is a sure fire way to alienate those people who are Labour's most passionate supporters. And Westminster knobs mistreating grassroots supporters is a core issue behind Britain's current democratic crisis.

Secondly, Labour has been trying the Blairite "triangulation" approach to immigration for some time now and it's failed badly.Labour are far better off pointing out that UKIP's immigration policy is wildly unrealistic. Among many other faults that UKIP's terrible policies have.

As someone who lives near Rotherham, I can tell you that Labour is in no position whatsoever to properly address concerns about grooming gangs. The best thing they could do on this issue is just to hold their hands up and admitted that they were much too complacent.

And if you think that David f**king Blunkett is in any way suitable to be the next South Yorkshire PCC then you really are a massive knobhead.

That author is a Blairite Westminster man and it's people like him who are the problem. The main reason why British democracy is in crisis right now. We need the 3 mainstream parties to be engaging with people at grassroots level. No more Westminster spads with no real life experience dictating how things should be done. It's people like the author of this article who are driving people away from the 3 main parties.

This article is pure Westminster bullshit and couldn't be less "spot on" if it tried.
