The best Leaders speech for decades.

An inspiring Conference.

In a hundred years from now, this blog will be studied by analysts and students seeking guidance and inspiration or alternatively (and perhaps most likely) the Blog, its content and its author will have been "consigned to the dustbin of history", as Leon Trotsky and Ronald Reagan once said.
However, all were written by me on the dates shown but were not sent to Brighton for inclusion in the speech, so the Telegraph will not be able to raise the criticism that they are old text. Ironically, you could argue (and I probably will at some point), that had Kinnock, Blair, Brown and Milliband minor actually used some of the text sent to them as alleged in the media, they might have been rather more successful with their conference speeches and not bored the pants off the assembled delegates. Incidentally, on the subject of delegates, have you noticed how many delegates and visitors are actually at conference? I have never seen so many people filling the conference floor and crowding into the balconies surrounding the main arena. It is a wonderful sight.

Jeremy Corbyn surrounded by applauding delegates after his speech

Pity those who caught the early morning train back to London did not stay for what I think was the best leaders speech that I have heard. From reports, it seems that Kendall, Umunna, Hunt, Cooper and the others have become marginalised within the PLP and are now sulking in the corner wondering what to do next as clearly they have little support amongst the party membership.
After John McDonnell's speech, a BBC reporter found Mandellson wandering around the foyer, completely alone looking lost and bemused. He must be very confused at being surrounded by hundreds of socialists, many of whom, when asked the question replied "Peter who?" The supreme irony occurred when the BBC man asked Mandellson what he thought of McDonnell's. With a completely straight face and in all seriousness, Mandellson replied that he thought it, "was all spin".
Today, Wednesday 30th September is the final day of Conference 2015.
As I have mentioned before, I rejoined the Labour Party on the 16th June this year as I considered (and still do) that the party led by Jeremy Corbyn would be a party which I could be proud to be a member of and more closely stands for the principles and beliefs that I worked and campaigned for.
When I was previously a member, Conference always closed with the words of Jim Connell, written in 1889, and set to the music of Ernst Anschütz from 1824.Perhaps we shall hear it again today.

The people's flag is deepest red,

It shrouded oft our martyred dead

And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,

Their hearts' blood dyed its every fold.

So raise the scarlet standard high,

Beneath its shade we'll live and die,

Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,

We'll keep the red flag flying here

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey- A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
