Re: [A-List] UK Labour Party: Propaganda Matrix article



Anne asks:

Am I am one of the "US libertarians," who you advise to
be wary of the Propaganda Matrix I posted yesterday?
Please understand that I am not familiar enough with the
intricacies of British politics - right, left, or center - to
draw any conclusions regarding this matter.

No, not at all. From a skim of the site's contents that is the political
orientation that seems to describe best the general intent of its owners.
The trouble is that, for all the laudable opposition to the war on Iraq from
the US libertarians, they should be very wary of those from the UK who would
claim some fraternal relationship. The punk Thatcherites share with the
Republican right an irrational hatred of Blair and still think of him as
some kind of reincarnation of Harold Wilson which, of course, is rubbish.
The fact is that the punk Thatcherites, were they to gain power, would be so
far up Bush's rectum that Blair himself would marvel. So my apologies for
apparently admonishing you, and thanks for bringing it to the list's
attention.
