Michael Meacher reveals himself - amazing pictures
Michael Meacher is the MP for Oldham West and Royton, pompous, arrogant, puclicity seeking and supported by public service Unison, he is deeply unpopularin his constituency but curiously espouses string left wing views that betray his middle class upbringing and education
Last December he put down a Commons motion demanding MPs have a vote on replacing the Vanguard submarine and Trident nuclear missiles which was backed by 93 Labour MPs ... note, he wasn't agaimst it, just wanted to vote on it.
Jake Morris in today's People report Unison Conference tittle tattle that Meacher is set to become a Labour stalking horse to prevent Brown from becoming the next labour Leader and possibly PM.
He says Left-wingers believe a stalking-horse candidate would damage Mr Brown in the first ballot - and allow the grotesque, Education Secretary Alan Johnson to step into the contest.
Vincent Moss in the Sunday Mirror says that Meacher has not publicly declared his intentions yet, although since resigning in 2003 as Environment Minister (see pic from BBC as he gambols with bathing beauties at Blackpool) he has attacked the Government over many issues, Iraq, GM foods, and more recently demanding a Commons vote Trident missile replacement.
Moss also raises the unlikely possibility that ex Transport Minister Glenda Jackson could stand against Brown
However much of a twat Meacher maybe, he wrote and the Guradian published
on Saturday September 6, 2003 the most damning analysis of the neocons and their influence, on US foreign policy, the Reichstag Fire nature of 9/11 and the US thrust for world hegemony to secure hydrocarbon supplies.
This war on terrorism is bogus
The 9/11 attacks gave the US an ideal pretext to use force to secure its global domination
His article ends ..
"The conclusion of all this analysis must surely be that the "global war on terrorism" has the hallmarks of a political myth propagated to pave the way for a wholly different agenda - the US goal of world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil supplies required to drive the whole project. Is collusion in this myth and junior participation in this project really a proper aspiration for British foreign policy? If there was ever need to justify a more objective British stance, driven by our own independent goals, this whole depressing saga surely provides all the evidence needed for a radical change of course."
