Labour leader Ed Miliband today declared 'I am a socialist' and revealed he was tempted to join the violent student protests but was 'doing something else'.
Mr Miliband said that although he did not condone violence, the demonstrations were fuelled by 'justified' anger about tuition fee rises.
And he indicated that he was open in future to talking to those protesting on the streets, with marches and other protests set to continue.
And, speaking to the Radio 5, he took the bold step for a modern Labour leader of embracing the socialist leanings of the party's pre-Tony Blair era.

Labour is going to remain a minority party sliding back to the Left.

I’m a socialist and I’m not embarrassed. That’s because he’s either to stupid to know how awful socialism is. Or he’s to evil to care.

This idiot, like most socialists, can't seem to grasp the reality that, as PM Margaret Thatcher once said: "The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money". Someone should tell this to Ed Miliband.

Excellent. They deserve to be consigned to the dustbin of history. Although I suspect that as the British economy crumbles Weimar-style, Britons will not be as adverse to having self-proclaimed socialists in charge advocating extreme solutions to the “capitalist” problem....

Like the Irish. Sooner or later the UK is looking set to crash.

Don’t have to be embarrassed to be a dumb ass loser....

I look forward to living in a world where the phrase "I am a socialist" is met with the same action as declaring "I am sexually abusing your child".
