Rant 277 3/10/12 Subject: Ed Miliband

Rant number 277

I'm sure I've told you before - but each and every morning I like to get up and watch the news.

It helps me to come round. I find out a little bit about the traffic for the day - and I can find out if anything interesting has happened since the previous evening (or at least the previous time I've checked the news.)

I've talked about various news stories over the proceeding days. I've talked about the fact that the news can sometimes be a little fluffy - and the fact that sometimes it can be a bit naff.

Today - that wasn't the problem.

Today - it made me feel rather queasy.


Ed Milliband is a man on the warpath. He's the new labour party leader - and he wants to stake his mark. As such - the radio yesterday featured his rhetoric and his militant speaking to his party.

Now, I always think that it's a joke when they play you a political speech that has taken place in front of a party of followers. I'm sure they cheer you on and all that - but that doesn't mean that I agree. It creates a false positive when they play you such a receptive audience. A lesser person could easily be fooled.

I am not a lesser person. I'm a miserable - yet thoughtful bastard.

Now, Ed Miliband was on the news this morning - to keep the awareness up - and look good.

He failed - miserably.

One thing that I love about BBC breakfast, is the militant way that they carry out interviews. To put it frankly - Charlie State does not take crap (good on him!)

Within the 5 minute interview - Charlie looked like an inquisitive individual and Ed Miliband looked like as much of an out of touch idiot as his baby eating competitor.

Lets face it anyway ladies and gents. There is no difference between New Labour (yes I know they aren't that new any more, but you know what I mean) and the Conservatives except for what colour they pledge allegiance to and how often they tip their butlers.

I will not be fooled by Ed Miliband. He pretends to be something different from what he is - a Tory. He has all the money - the private educations and the elitist attitude.

For one reason and one reason only however, he is worse. He pretends to be something he's not. He's a wolf in sheeps clothing.

I fucking hate David Cameron for what he is - but he doesn't pretend to be anything but a baby eating, evil, manipulative, self serving power hungry bastard. Ed Miliband has all of these desirable qualities - but would in some way have you believe that he is better.

Don't be fooled. What a bastard.

Rant over.
