The left has killed more people than all other regimes put together.

To suggest that the current Labour Government, or Blair's Government, are/were not socialist is ridiculous. They behave(d) just as every socialist government does. Socialism deals out oppression while talking about "democracy".

This is why Labour is dying politically. People are sick of the plethora of "hate" crimes which increase in number by the microsecond. They are sick of being removed from the democratic process while at the same time Labour speaks of "localism".

Socialism has always had a mentality of empire building which is why so many people have died. The term "Little Englander" was coined by the "Liberal" empire builders to pejoratively describe those who opposed the Boer War and takeover of Boer farms to increase the British Empire's land mass. And so it goes on with the EU Empire (Barroso's description).

Self-styled "liberals" and socialists have always been bullies – in the cause of the "greater good" of course.
