David Miliband - Winning the Bigot Vote

His campaign must be doing well, because Miliband Major has only gone and won the support of "that bigoted woman":

Gillian Duffy told the Daily Mirror that David Miliband would make a "great prime minister" after he visited her at home in Rochdale.

...

She said of David Miliband: "He's a really nice man and obviously very intelligent but also down to earth. I think he would be a great prime minister.

"I felt David really listened to my points of view and shared my concerns on the issues that matter to working people."

Good-o. An important supporter for Miliband Major. I wonder where his campaign will go next. Maybe he can go make peace with Sharon Storer. Or have a pint with that mullet-haired yokel who Prescott lamped back in 2001.

It is this sort of thing that really brings home just how much Miliband Major is the continuity candidate for Nu Labour. Fuck the issues, fuck the attempt to redefine Labour for a changed political landscape. Fuck all that, we've got to get on with this: the cheap publicity stunt with no real importance beyond a quick soundbite from someone no-one should really care about at all.
