When in a Hole, Remember to Stop Using the Spade.

Labour seem insistent on committing suicide.

The latest thing they've done to join the Liberals in political irrelevance is to vote for a second referendum. Of course Jeremy Corbyn said he would repect how the party conference voted.

So they voted for a second referendum.

Bloody good job, well done. Let's ignore the first referendum result and go and vote for a second bite at staying in the EU, or even worse accepting any shit deal the EU force us to accept.

Wonderful.

I very much doubt there won't be an option to forget the 26th of July and go back to the status quo. After all to be fair, we've already decided to exit the EU, we just need to decide which leave option to chose.

But knopwing politicians, they will slip in a "stay in the EU and forget the past two years" option into the options list of any second referendum.

All those Northern Labour voters that voted to leave need to understand that voting for Labour is not a vote for the working class working man. Not any more.

This is about as clear a statement of that there is.

UPDATE:

I had a think about this last night and I can't square the issue of Labour's avowed intention to nationalise everything in sight and this latest spasm (spresm?) of voting to have a second referendum with the option to stay in the EU/customs union/single market.

Being in the EU means that the government of the UK has no alternative but to privatise certain industries. It's EU policy intent on creating competition  (don't snigger at the back!).

So how could a future Labour government (look, I've told you once about that sniggering!) be part of the EU and nationalise industries the EU says they cannot nationalise?

Interesting quandry....
