Platitude Party



John Rentoul also sticks the boot into Ed Miliband's foreign policy speech with these comments in The Independent which re-brand Labour as the Platitude Party.

Migrants drowning in the Med are David Cameron's fault: they are “in part a direct result of the failure of post-conflict planning”.

That will impress nobody. And if this is the best line to summarise the speech that Labour spin doctors can provide to the BBC, we might as well elect the Platitude Party and have done with it: “Genuine and hard-headed multilateralism with our values at its core.”

 Meaningless political gobbledegook at its best.

Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
