Gordy has called on Labour to build a “Britain of or dreams” – well after nearly eleven years in power, New Labour have created the stuff of Orwellian nightmares, a surveillance society where the government wants to control everything that individuals, communities and companies do where the government seems to want to know everything about everyone but at the same time keep it’s own incompetence and mismanagement as secret as possible.  

Gordy is really clutching at straws now, like John Major in 1993/4. Of course I hope I’m wrong, that the government can create a land of dreams, but to many people in this country, their dreams lie elsewhere in the world.
