Tony Blair thinks killing people with live ammunition is justified to protect World Leaders from a different opinion.

A reformed socialist.

Peter Hain appeared on 'AOL Live' shortly before the election and this interesting exchange took place:

UKMC 4:... How comfortable are you with Anthony Nelson, the apartheid supporting Tory, joining the Labour party?

Labour Live: Well he has changed his views. And he in joining the Labour party I assume has signed up fully to our strong anti-apartheid position, which saw Nelson Mandela address our Annual Conference last year. But you had better ask him.


(Anthony Nelson is the latest Tory defector to New Labour . In 1984, he welcomed PW Botha's visit to Britain to meet Thatcher, an event that triggered a demonstration attended by over 100,000 people in London. The following year, he opposed further sanctions against South Africa. In 1986, he spoke out against talks with the African National Congress, and expressed "distaste" at the BBC's decision to broadcast a Nelson Mandela benefit concert in 1988.).

For someone who lead a principled fight against apartheid and the National Front in the UK in the 1970s when involved in the Anti Nazi League, it's a pathetic sight to witness Peter Hain spout the same bollocks that was said against him. I suppose that will garantee a place for him in the House of lords.
So New Labour, sold your soul for the dollar bill
