'I am also puzzled by the accusation that Kinnock ran a bad last campaign. '

let me explain. I came into work the morning after Labour's TV commercial went out.

Teachers who had been suffering the excesses of the tory think tanks for over 10 years came in, absolutely distraught. Several of their colleagues had collapsed and actually been killed under the sheer weight of the Keith Joseph/Sheila Lawlor load of baloney. Everybody that morning had their head in their hands - how could Kinnock do this to us?

The star of the show had been a seventeen year old with three kids in council flat watching daytime telly on her colour tv, and puffing on a Benson and Hedges saying, Wot I need is some training....

Fade to ....labour is trying to help people like this.

The guy was a wanker: period.
