Polly points us towards this obscene piece of political posturing today:
Ed Balls shows up to name a gleaming new school IT unit after Gwynneth Dunwoody.
Foul.
Naming something after a statesman (ie, a dead politician) yes, but this, in the middle of a by-election?
The rest of Polly’s piece is her noting that the rest of the population now sees Labour as some of us have done for a decade and more.
