"NEW LIEbour luddites "

Interesting how the ignorant use the word 'luddite' as a term of abuse. Catch up on your history and you'll realise that they were, in fact, a group of workers fighting for their rights and livelihoods against greedy, unprincipled mill owners who were trying to wipe them out or force them to accept the starvation wages that they were offering.

Ah well - they say ignorance is bliss so be happy in yours.
