Move Along, Nothing to See...

I just vosoted LabourHome. I don't do it very often, but I thought I would see what they were saying about Gordon Brown's interviews today. The answer is sweet F A. Nothing. Nada. Not a post, not a paragraph, not a sentence, not a word. I wonder why that could be. Were they embarrassed by the performance of their Dear Leader?

UPDATE: I have just visited the following lefty blogs and found not a single mention of Brown's relaunch interviews...

Kerron Cross, Hopi Sen, Ministry of Truth, Bob Piper, Chicken Yogurt, Byrne Baby Byrne, Harry's Place, Conor Ryan, Mars Hill, Rupa Huq.
Even bloody Chris (Comical Ali) Paul doesn't go into bat for Gordon. None of them get links for being either idle, ashamed of their leader, embarrassed, or all three.

If anyone needed proof as to why the left wing blogosphere is so rubbish, this is it.

Labour's Greatest Failures

I'm doing a little film project about Labour's greatest failures over the last ten years. In case there are any I might have missed which you think I ought to include, do feel free to fill the Comments section.

UPDATE: Here's one of the Comments, which I thought deserved a wider audience. It's from Brumbrino...
My father had to have open heart surgery last year. For a car
park I have already paid for in contributions, my brother, mother and I spent
around £80 for parking a week. The communal telly on the recovery ward was
removed and patients had to pay a fiver a day to watch television and listen to
radio. These tv stations on each bed were fitted with a IP telephone which we
had to call rather that the ward telephone number (we were told that the ward
phone number was not to be used unless an emergency). The calls to this IP
telephone number per minute were around 50% more than calling Australia
peak-time. The wing of the hospital dad was recovering in was PFI. The bathroom
and lavatory facilities were disgusting and cleaned by the PFI-appointed
cleaning staff once a day. Local medical and ancillary stagg were not allowed to
clean the facilities due to the PFI contract. The same staff had to bring their
own tea and coffee in as they were not allowed to use that that was given to the
ward and in turn served to patients. No in the press we hear that a hospital
(sorry - can't remember which one) is taking out every other light bulb to save
money. The NHS is failing under Labour!
