The Disappearing Files
Peter Hitchens has some good stuff on New Labour's Ageing Trots in his Mail on Sunday column.
In an echo of what EURSOC has been saying for a year about how this government is "radical, ideological and extreme", Hitchens writes "This is the most revolutionary government since Oliver Cromwell, dedicated to overthrowing the moral, social and cultural order of this country."
He claims that New Labour is stuffed with unreformed revolutionaries, former Trots, CND activists and hard-liners who never fully grew away from their ideological anti-Western roots.
"Looking at the bland, prosperous faces of the Parliamentary Labour Party I see my generation, the ones who between about 1965 and 1975 learned to loathe patriotism, the Armed Forces, proper policing, proper schools, traditional religion, marriage, the Monarchy and all the other things that ‘alternative’ comedians are paid handsomely to sneer at on the BBC", Hitchens says.
Don't miss a key line in the column: "The MI5 files of that era have been so zealously destroyed. I tried to obtain my own docket and was refused on feeble grounds.
"The fact is that mine went in the incinerator along with Peter Mandelson’s, John Reid’s and many others whose interesting pasts are much-rumoured around Westminster, but impossible to prove."
Fascinating, and, if true, suggests that the intelligence services crumbled to the New Regime some time ago, perhaps as long ago as the late 1990s. Who'd have thought that MI5 would fall as easily as the Church, the universities and the media?
