Two nations of the Labour Party
IN HER recently published book The Wee Yellow Butterfly, Cathy McCormack gives her reasons for turning her back on the Labour Party, under whose influence she was brought up in the East End of Glasgow. In her book she mentions the "apartheid" within such organisations as New Labour.
Is this the same system of social stratification which – rightly and properly – condemns Jim Devine, but not such Labour grandees as Geoff Hoon and Hazel Blears?
