The Vatican has denounced attempts to link Pope Benedict XVI to a child abuse scandal in his native Germany.

Spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said there had been “aggressive” efforts to involve the Pope, but added: “It’s clear that these attempts have failed.”

Something fishy been going on then?

We need to rebuild a community-focused party, embrace electoral reform and pursue – dare I say – a New Socialism

-o-O-0-O-o-

A new Socialism from the Labour Party, perish the thought?

Labour didn’t misunderstand Britain, they misunderstood Tony Blair when they let him and his gang take over the party, and then take them to the cleaners, and when they lose the next General Election, it will be the price of them.

Anyway, Labour, Tory, or Lib-Dems the difference between them is cigarette paper thin, rather than anything fundamental.

So, am I worried if Labour wins, or loses?

In a word. No!

PS, Me and the picture are just about ages. Nah, only kiddin.
