The Labour
Party Conference has finished in Liverpool, some would say the Labour Party has
finished in Liverpool. The internal disputes and differences of philosophy are
being described as "trench warfare".
To compare the
petty rivalries, spites and student type politicking of the last few days to
this is an insult to the men who fought in the First World War, notably those
of the Kings Liverpool Regiment.
Given the antics
and behaviour of many of the senior figures in the Labour movement today, if
there is anything to compare it might be the characters in the Viz comic, see
online, viz dot co dot uk.
Good point about trench warfare. Some phrases are toxic and some not. It is instructive to compare them.
