If black labradors are a far right fantasy, I guess I’m a fascist
That labradors aren't a sign of fascism feels self-explanatory, yet Labour blathers on, writes James Ford's hand in today's Notebook.
Labour Party Conference produced a selection of fringe opinions, as evidenced by Jenny Riddell-Carpenter, the nature minister. She expressed concern that a Britain featuring warm ale, country pubs, and black Labradors represents a "far right nostalgic vision of Britain that never really existed." Despite her bias as a former Tory political adviser, the author has witnessed these allegedly right-wing elements firsthand.
The author questions whether political alignment now necessitates abandoning political affiliations and adopting extreme measures. Jenny Riddell-Carpenter's comments, while derided as foolish, might have inadvertently bolstered the image of country pubs.
