Washing away the guilt.

The Labour Party, under the less than inspiring leadership of Ed Miliband, has formulated a policy to deal with its grievous failures in government.  Simple: after the general election all the party did is in the past.  What matters is the now.  The election defeat has cleansed the party of all guilt, of its economic mismanagement and the sordid relationship it had with News International.  It won't wash and when the inquiry looks into the relationship between Labour and News Corporation, the evangelical fervour with which little Ed is tearing into Cameron will be shown up as the rankest hypocrisy.
