Wisdom on Wednesday : Rachel Reeves, look away now

"We are called upon at the beginning of the 20th century to decide the question propounded in the Sermon on the Mount, as to whether we will worship God or Mammon. The present day is a Mammon worshipping age. Socialism proposes to dethrone the brute god Mammon and to lift humanity into its place."

Keir Hardie, one of the founders of the Labour party, and a man who Blair McDougall cites as his hero. Now just look into your heart for a moment, Blair - do you honestly believe that the neoliberal UK of today is closer to Hardie's ideal than an independent Scotland would be? Truly?

  1. I've always said that this shower of so called 'labour ' politicians would have Keir Hardie birling in his grave. A richt bunch charlatans the lot of them.

  2. Nary a one genuinely socialist going back to the foundational roots with the infiltration of the Fabians - named after Fabius Cunctator (The Delayer) into the early socialist movement - collabos, quislings, and comprador servitors (to quote the French Maquis, the Norwegian Resistance, and the Latin American liberation theologians).

    Their cuckoo in the nest of the early Labour movement - spawning support of of the imperialist-British-establishment backing Labour Party - simply coming to the end of a long line of eggs when faced with this genuine movement of the democratic, egalitarian will in Scotland.

    Hell mend them.
