The Common Good, Indeed

The latest edition of The Common Good, periodical of the Christian Socialist Movement, is very largely given over to saying that “We can’t think of any reason to remain affiliated to the Labour Party, but we are going to anyway”.

The party of those Catholic and other Labour MPs who fought tooth and nail against abortion and easier divorce. The party of those Methodist and other Labour MPs who fought tooth and nail against deregulated drinking and gambling. The party of those Labour MPs who were organised by USDAW to save from Thatcher and Major the special status of Sunday and of Christmas Day. That party does still exist.

Here.

And nowhere else.

  1. More egotistical ramblings from a ridiculous man!

    Is it true about the rumour you were going to try and "arrest" Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop boys to prevent him reading a lesson at the Cathedral a couple of weeks ago?

  2. Sweetie, that would have been far too little, far too late...
