They've got you "bang to rights" here on Cruddas' utter cynical bullshit, articul8. Come on , grasp what Butchers, Panda, sihhi, agricola, and others are saying in these recent comments , or feel your political soul slip further and further away on an ever quickening tide of pseudo leftish rhetoric, overlaying a poisonous neoliberal core . Cruddas is pure, unadulterated, political poison. His theatrical "man of the people" bullshit should evoke the same sort of loud "utter political opportunist" alarm as should go off in any socialist's head when they, for instance , see George Galloway do his cringe-making "friendly White District Commissioner" , " Bless the Prophet", act in the presence of gullible Muslim voters - too naive to see he's full of contempt for them. Cruddas is simply another NuLabour "frog boiler" aiming to keep gullible workers happy with the soft political musak of backward-looking communitarian sentimentality and vague promises, whilst NuLabour actually prepares to use their votes to get on the in-government gravy train again, and boil us all to utter penury in the interests of capitalism.
