Each year, donations are raised, and the more donations the longer the game has to be played, interrupted by guest calls, pledge drives, auctions and the usual impedimenta of charity.
Not only was the New Labour project intended to remove all emotional impedimenta from the progressive political tradition, but New Labour is universally mocked even by those, like me, who voted for it as a regimented horde of besuited, clean-shaven automatons who cannot do anything until their pagers order them to.
