Tory Theresa is Blue Labour at heart

I never really agreed with the central-thesis of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — that ‘42’ is the answer to life, the universe and everything. I have no great animus against the number — it does its job, filling that yawning gap between 41 and 43. But I had never thought it actually-special until the beginning of this week. That’s when I read that the Conservative Party was 17 points ahead in the latest opinion polls, on 42 per cent. A remarkable figure.

I suppose you can argue that it says more about the current state of the Labour party than it does about Theresa May’s stewardship of the country. My old party is led by a convocation of absolutist imbeciles opposed to not only the UK and what it represents, but to most of the people living in it as well. Its leader supports Palestinian terrorists and the dynastic police state of Cuba and has spoken warmly at IRA commemorations for dead murderers.
