I don’t think there’s any point in pretending that Ed Miliband is not an idiot. All the evidence the prosecution needs comes from this typically self-aggrandising passage in his address to protestors in London this afternoon.
Aye right. Another reminder that the left is losing its mind. The video of this guff is amusing, not least since Miliband speaks as though he’s auditioning for a role in the next series of The Thick of It:We come in the tradition of those who have marched before us. The suffragettes who fought for votes for women and won. The civil rights movement in America who fought for equality and won. The anti-apartheid movement who fought the horror of that system and won. Our cause may be different but we come together today to realise our voice and we stand on their shoulders. We stand on the shoulders of those who have marched and struggled in the past.
