Where the British Left Went So Horribly Wrong

From Milo Yiannopoulos, at Breitbart UK, "ED’S DEAD: WHERE THE BRITISH LEFT WENT SO HORRIBLY WRONG":

For a party established to defend working-class interests, Labour has remarkable difficulty relating to ordinary people. Of course, the primary reason is that the idea of a Labour Party is a strange anachronism in modern Britain.

There is really no place today for a party funded and effectively dictated to by the trades unions. But in seeking to reinvent itself and recapture relevance, the Left concocted a bizarre mixture of old-fashioned socialism and bleeding-edge American social justice, fomented in tired old Tory hatred and the politics of envy and grievance.

In other words, because Labour doesn’t have an interest group to protect any longer, it has reimagined itself as a party with a higher moral purpose. Yet the morality it aspires to appeals to few outside of the media and universities and its economic principles have not been deployed since Soviet Russia...

Yeah, well.

The Soviet Union's been dead for almost 25 years. About time some of these leftists got into the 21st century. Sheesh.

More.
