How anyone can think that given the results of every election in this country in the past seven years escapes me. They asked him a similar question about the fact that when Labour moves left it loses election - his reponse to that was that this was due to governments not having the courage to make the changes that are needed. It was rather like Tony Benn's old argument that voters elected Margaret Thatcher because Michael Foot wasn't left-wing enough (In his case he presumably thinks the voters elected David Cameron because Ed Miliband wasn't left-wing enough).Chris Whitesidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888720969479013951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10815380.post-54018618382909026712016-08-03T18:30:28.415+01:002016-08-03T18:30:28.415+01:00Working in IT and telecoms as I do, I have been l...Working in IT and telecoms as I do, I have been looking at a new computer monitor for use in the Labour party. Well I figured this has to be pretty simple so they can use it. then i decided, why would they need the computer at all, what if the screen was all they needed, Kind of an all all in one device like My lenovo all in one touch screen.<br /><br />then I figured it would generally be cheaper and easier just to give them a picture.<br /><br />here is the <a href="http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n569/therealmiracleworker/labour%20laptop.jpg" rel="nofollow">prototype</a><br />Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373005279697295131noreply@blogger.com
