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.

    JuliaM, this is NuLabour we’re talking about here. Old news is no news.
