National newspapers are reporting the possible death throes
of the Labour Party. I do not know
whether or not the Labour Party is on the verge of extinction, but I hope it
is.
In 1924, the first ever Labour government sought to support
the mass-murdering government of the Soviet Union, but fortunately did not last
long enough to do so.
In the 1940s the Labour Party supported Britain’s illegal involvement in the Second World War; and the Labour government that was elected in 1945 supported the unjust Nuremberg trials.

In the 1960s, a Labour government led by Harold Wilson supported
the Nigerian government in the Biafran War in which an estimated two million children
died of starvation.
The most recent Labour government took part in illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the current leadership of the Labour Party has not ruled out support for an illegal war against Syria.

It is in short a political party which thoroughly deserves
to cease to exist. I am not prepared to
say however that it will cease to exist merely because it is momentarily short
of money.
