Just because it is listed, does not mean it is current policy. As one of their websites indicates:

From the Bury & St. Edmunds Labour Party Website

David Powell, from Redgrave in Suffolk asks: Why have you got the wrong Clause Four statement on the Web Site. Is this the proper Labour Party site?

Reply: The old Clause 4 was dropped by the Party as it was deemed 'old-fashioned' and not in keeping with the modern era. But it was the party's mission statement for many decades. It is merely a reference point harking back to an earlier Labour movement tradition.

Secondly, I will spell this out for you again:

IT IS THE OFFICIAL POLICY OF THE BRITISH CONSERVATIVE PARTY TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT IN THIS WAR AND LEAVE PARTISANSHIP ASIDE FOR THE DURATION

If you continue to persist in this nonsense, you are no better than Tom Daschle, who is rightly derided for his partisanship.

No one is asking you to vote for him. What I am requesting is that considering the fact that he is pursuing the absolutely right policy on this war, that you show a little taste and a little class by keeping partisanship out of it for the duration.

I am also doing you a favour by telling you this. Running around complaining about Blair after the commitment he has shown to the anti-terrorism cause makes you look shrill, obnoxious, partisan, and foolish. As I say, no better than Tom Daschle.

I will never vote Labour. But he has done the right thing in this war, and for the duration, I'll not only stand with him, I'll defend him. Particularly against cheap shots.

Thanks, and bump!

Here's my email:

Dear Prime Minister Blair,

I am an American citizen living in Canada. I am writing to thank you for your steadfast support of the United States, after 9/11 and continuing up to the present moment. I commend you for persevering in this course of action, despite the political cost to you personally in your own country.

You are a true leader, a man of conviction and vision--a rare thing indeed in the age of polls and soundbites. The world today is immeasurably safer because of your support and determination of yesterday.

My prayers are with the British troops. From what I have read, their reputation is peerless and I am very grateful they are with us.

Thank you once again, and God be with those brave troops making the world safer.

What I sent to Mr. Blair ...

FR ... thread --- National Post (( Canadian )) !

... "we do not believe Mr. Bush lacks "statesmanship."

"Nor do we think he is a "moron" or "bastard" as other Liberals would have it."

"Many of us, rather, agree with Stephen Harper, who declared on Tuesday that Ottawa's position embarrasses the country."

"The Prime Minister's (( CANADIAN )) behaviour is gutless," ...

"the Opposition leader said" ---

"We have historically as a country stood beside our best friends and allies, the United States and Britain, whenever they have been together."

"This is where we should be now."

"We also applaud Ernie Eves, who similarly declared that "The United States of America is our greatest neighbour [and] our greatest trading ally," and that ...

"you have to be there in times of need for your friends and allies."

"The Ontario Premier has spent this week watching the lines at the U.S. border getting longer, and rightly wonders what effect Ottawa's position will have on trade relations."

Liberals // conservatives in ... Canada.com ...

My comments ...

Change of govt coming in Canada !

This is used in engineering a lot !

"There are three kinds of people ... "

... # 1 --- they (( Bush // Blair )) make (( good )) things happen !

... # 2 --- they (( liberals )) don't know what happened ! !

... # 3 --- they (( canadians // french // LOSERS // HATERS // germans )) will never know what happened ! ! !

I've had the opportunity many times over the past year to tell many vistors here (( Hawaii )) from England ...

that Tony Blair is a very great man from a great country ---

to lead the civilized world the way he has --- Blair Finds Iron Soul (( link // FR thread )) !

You show exceedingly poor taste in vocalising it now. Not during a just war, understand?

Done. Thank you for the link. I know that most of us do not agree with Mr Blair's politics, but in events like these where we have a common vision and common values, I believe it is entirely proper to express thanks to a man that has risked everything.

History will be kind to Mr Blair, I believe.

Great idea, GB. But what I suggest is that we send our thanks to Mr. Blair at his Downing Street address. His MP e-mail box is reserved for his constituents.

    10 Downing Street
    London
    SW1A 2AA

    You can also fax the Prime Minister on 020 7925 0918.(From outside the UK, the number is +442079250918.)

Dear Most Honorable Sir:

As any student of the history of our two great nations knows, the thirteen British colonies of North America once rose in rebellion against your nation. Our American Revolution embodied some of the greatest ideas of the millenium: freedom, liberty, justice, self-rule, and the equal Creation of all people. At the time, our Founding Fathers could not know the fever that their ideas--and the magnificent institutions that they invented for applying these ideas to governance--would create around the world for centuries to come. People from all the ends of the earth today see America as an ideal--an ideal that they desire to embrace for themselves and that they wish upon their countries. We stand for freedom, liberty, and justice for all.

In time even you, the British Empire, embraced this ideal, and in the pure irony of history, the French who once assisted our Revolution have fled from it. Today your country stands with the United States in allowing the Iraqi people to realize the freedom and liberty that Britain embraces and that America represents. We Americans cannot express our gratitude enough to you personally and your counrty for the unwavering support that you have given to us. Your armies, navies, and air forces over these nine decades have assisted, and at times led, the American military to its greatest victories over evil, including victories over Naziism and Communism. And we applaud your courage in standing firmly against terrorists wherever they may live and in standing with President Bush against the megalomaniac tyrant of our day, Saddam Hussein.

You have shown major leadership and courage against foes at home and on the Continent that our President need not consider so much as a daily challenge to his political future. We commend your eloquence in annunciating the rationale behind this necessary conflict, however inconvenient and unwanted. And you have put the lives of your young men and women on the line--an extremely difficult decision for any leader to make, even when the public stands firmly behind it. For your enormous strategic contributions to our effort to remove one terrorist military dictator who threatens both of us, we applaud you. For doing so at a time when others--traditional allies of ours--to whom he poses equal or greater danger, most notably the French, actively try to enhance the danger that he poses, we thank you. And for exhibiting the leadership and courage to confront this threat when even the people whom you purport to represent demand that you back away from it, we praise you. Words cannot express our gratitude for all that you have done to help the both of us save ourselves from those who wish either of us harm.

Many thanks to you for your valiant efforts and contributions. Thank you very much.
