Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 S Thu, 29 Sep 2005 21:46:08 -0700 (PDT) UK-The ugly face of New Labour-The Battle of Walter's Heckle (Vs our shadow govt leader-the queens pawn) (Neocon and Neoliberal, both working to sell out the people.) This is Walter Wolfgang, a member of the Labour Party since before Tony Blair was born, and a fugitive from Nazi Germany where he lost his family. He was manhandled out of the Labour party conference by 'security' thugs and later held under the anti-terrorism act. His crime? Shouting 'nonsense' during a speech on Iraq. This is Blair's Britain, as it is Bush's America, a fascist state in all but name where dissent is crushed and the pathetic sycophants cheer on demand. 'An 82-year-old Jewish fugitive from Nazi Germany who lost family in the Holocaust, Walter Wolfgang knows a thing or two about how freedom of speech is suppressed. He learned a little more yesterday when he was manhandled by Labour goons at the party conference for daring to shout 'nonsense' at Jack Straw's used car salesman's weasel words on Iraq. Time was when heckling was the lifeblood of politics in Britain but yesterday's scenes would not have been out of place in North Korea, with Mr Wolfgang even being detained briefly under anti-terror laws.' The Battle of Walter's Heckle 'I do believe zat zee man in zee fifth row moved his eyebrow in a vay zat could be contrued as not agreeing wiz everything I zay ...

The ugly face of New Labour 08:33am 29th September 2005 An 82-year-old Jewish fugitive from Nazi Germany who lost family in the Holocaust, Walter Wolfgang knows a thing or two about how freedom of speech is suppressed. He learned a little more yesterday when he was manhandled by Labour goons at the party conference for daring to shout 'nonsense' at Jack Straw's used car salesman's weasel words on Iraq. Time was when heckling was the lifeblood of politics in Britain but yesterday's scenes would not have been out of place in North Korea, with Mr Wolfgang even being detained briefly under anti-terror laws. Will New Labour - whose conference this week has been ruthlessly orchestrated right down to cheerleaders controlling the applause - feel any shame at such unedifying scenes? We doubt it. For never forget that this is a party that simply does not tolerate dissent. Alastair Campbell may have finally quit but his malign spirit still pervades New Labour with its control freakery, character assassination and media manipulation. From Dr David Kelly to hospital patient Rose Addis to Paddington survivor Pam Warren - all have suffered at the hands of a political machine that crushes all dissent. New Labour usually deploys such tricks away from the public eye. Yesterday's outrage was in full view of the cameras. And doesn't it leave a very nasty taste?
