Yes Fred, but we must remember that it was the most popular and "electable" Labour politician who was instrumental in the removal of clause 4......it must be said at the behest of the media.
I think it is time to re-nationalise, but the task would be almost impossible with huge obstacles to overcome, not least the composition of the present Labour party.
Does anyone think the "big beasts" like Umunna who ducked out of this contest are likely to endorse the return of clause 4? They are "liberal" career politicians, not socialists.
They always play by the (capitalist) rules.
