Get tae Bradford

Setting aside the perfectly poised hand gestures and demographically precise bods sat in the background as backdrop, the Ed Miliband speech was excellent. I mean c'mon it claimed/re-worked a distinctively and impressively British ideology.

That this reworking of a historic political stance followed Eric Hobsbawm's death, a fella with links to Ralph - dad of Ed and Dave - Miliband, again emphasised the sense of a distinctive, yet deep rooted British tradition of (potentially) radical politics.

But ...........the guy's a spod who should FOAD so his brother can take over. That's politics.
