Politics on the offensive

In these days of measured, passionless sound-bites, you can be sure that any politician sending out these sort of epithets via Twitter or Facebook would receive instant censure and probably face demands for an apology.

“Whenever you scratch a Tory you find a Fascist.”

“No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party... So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.”

“Politics is a blood sport.”

“As one bastard to another, I accept your apology.”

It’s just as well then that Aneurin Bevan is no longer with us then.

Wasn't Bevan and ally of Mosley who almost joined his New Party?
