>> Even Labour is tame compared to what it was 30 years ago.

What? 30 years ago was the 1990's. The era of Blair and Brown.

Try and be historically honest, please.

New Labour was in 1997. 30 years ago was 5 years before that. And yes, that time saw the Labour Party shift towards European-style centre-left policies.

No, New Labour was 1994 when Blair took over the leadership, not just when he became PM.

And before that was John Smith. Pro-European and further to the left than the more centrist Blair.

Again, please be historically accurate.

You're not just insulting my intelligence and memory, but the legacy of truth of dead men.

Thank you.
