Of course "left wing" really only means "supporter of the poor" but in the UK it is used specifically (and quite wrongly) to refer to Marx-inspired socialism. Tony Blair was under 60 and quite clearly didn't believe in "The Left" in any meaningful sense. Gordon Brown was a young firebrand of the Left - but he's over 60. Whenever I see someone buying a copy of the Guardian with their own money, they are pensioners. Guardian subscribers aren't cancelling their subscriptions in disgust - they're simply dropping dead! <br /><br />Polly Toynbee is 66. Dennis Skinner is 80! Kinnock is 70. David "nuclear free sheffield" Blunket is 65. Ken "Looney Left" Livingstone is 67. Derek Hatton is 64 (and now working as an international property developer - just how capitalist can you get!). Germain Greer is 73. Alan Rusbridger may look young - but he's 59. <br /><br />These are just a few of "The Left" as we once knew it. They are the ones that came into my head at random. You will notice they were all born in a relatively short period, reaching adulthood in the 50s at the height of the Cold War. These people are not yet retiring - they use their positions in society to continue to influence it, but the reality is they are a generation or more behind the bulk of the population. <br /><br />"The Left" is not in decline. It is simply dying, quite literally, in front of our eyes. <br />Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-10009971271971719022013-01-09T02:35:20.553+00:002013-01-09T02:35:20.553+00:00I hate gratuitous apostrophes.

Partly as a lot of people restrict themselves to it and partly as it makes them more invested in squabbles and pseudo-controversies that no one outside of social media gives a damn about.BenSixhttp://bensix.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5187043.post-30290306089877521682013-01-09T02:26:13.446+00:002013-01-09T02:26:13.446+00:00I see Though Coward's Flinch as the broadsheet...I see <a href="http://thoughcowardsflinch.com/" rel="nofollow">Though Coward's Flinch</a> as the broadsheet and <a href="http://tompride.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Tom Pride</a> as the tabloid.
