Charles Clarke Urges Jumping Ship…But It’s Already Sunk!
Norfolk Community Action Group | 31.12.2009 10:22 | Cambridge
You’ve got to hand it to Norwich South MP Charles Clarke, he can smell the whiff of the decaying Labour corpse alright, but sadly he’s not able to admit that no matter how hard he scrubs, the stench is still all over his own hands.
Nobody has forgotten his part in the New Labour experiment that has seen public freedoms slowly eradicated and it’s Bush supporting full on ‘crusade’ to war.
His current attacks against Gordon Brown and urging for his replacement in order to win the next election are nothing short of a political desperation to save his own skin.
The Labour movement is dead and the Tories are still the Tories, the upper class swine who will continue aggressive Thatcherism as soon as they are elected to power next May.
There is no longer any representation of working-class people in Britain today (if indeed there ever was), and pretending otherwise is just politically motivated lip-service.
You may be oblivious to the truth of British politics Charlie boy, the rest of us aren’t.
And as for Labour needing to adopt the “killer instinct”….we’ve had enough of that thanks. Hundreds of thousands of innocent dead in Iraq and Afghanistan and our own children being brought home in body bags.
At least have the decency and courage to go down with the Labour wreck quietly….
Meanwhile the rest of us will start to build a new political movement, one that puts real working-class politics in the hands of real working-class people….and Parliament can go to hell!
If ever people who are supposedly ‘represented’ by Mr.Clarke feel like sharing their opinions with him, which of course we are entitled to do, he can be contacted by
1) Writing to Charles Clarke MP for Norwich South, Norwich Labour Party, St Marks Church Hall, Hall Road, Norwich, NR1 3HL or Charles Clarke MP, Constituency Mail, House of Commons, London, SW1A OAA
2) Phone the constituency office on 01603 219902
3) Fax the constituency office on 01603 764475
4) E-mail

Charles Clarke and his dismal "Labour Future" project
31.12.2009 12:02
Dear members of Labour Future
I have just read this article in the Independent:
and then visited your website here:
I understand that the Labour Party is currently in crisis and in need of some
fresh ideas. The ideas which have come from your group so far, as listed in
the article, and in the essays on the website, are certainly most uninspiring!
Here some ideas off the top of my head:
* Get out of Iraq now
* Get out of Afghanistan now
* Provide a clear commitment that the UK will never attack Iran
* Restore the 10% tax rate
* Stop the creeping privatisation hiding behind "foundation" hospitals and
"academy" schools
* Halt the proposed privatisation of Student Loans
* Implement clear environmental energy policies (non nuclear)
* Make the whole of the UK a GM-free zone
* Ensure that only elected MPs can be Government ministers
* Nationalise the rail network and drastically reduce rail fares
* Free prescriptions
* Free dental treatment
* Free optical treatment
* Free residential care for the elderly
* No "user fees" on any public service - it's high time to ignore the
IMF/World Bank dogma and put people as a priority, Mr Clarke!
* Renationalise water, gas and electricity
* Scrap Trident and its successor now
* Scrap ID cards and the ID database now
These are all policies which can save the country billions and restore
people's trust in Labour by doing things that the people really want.
For the sake of the party I hope you can get this resolved ASAP. I don't want
to live under Conservative rule ever again, but neither do I want the same
Labour Party that was behind the disastrous war in Iraq and which kowtows to
big business at every opportunity.
If you can't make the necessary changes, then it's time to abandon all
political parties and recreate parliament based on a system of only
independent MPs. In that way the MPs will exclusively serve their
constituents, rather than serving two masters, their party and their
constituents, as it is at present.
And why on earth create a website which merely contains wordy but worthless
essays by members of your group? No pictures, no contact details, no
contributions from people outside your party, no discussion forum, no
possibility for interaction. Quite frankly, it's dreadful, with nothing that
will make any real difference at all to the lives of ordinary people...

'Norfolk Community Action Group is only interested in one community, one working class community, a community with no colour be it black or white, a community not divided by race or religion, where working class kids go to schools to learn to educate themselves about the world around them rather than the world a priest, rabbi or imam would have them live in.'

well said mustardy, but some open minded rabbis,imans& priests do exist

Direct democracy is cooperative, & done by lot like in athens is hard to corrupt,
In Clarkes area the Greens look likely to win & are also likely to support Direct Democracy& if not then we might have gather like people did for the magna carta like farmers & foresters did against King John
