Miliband the Predator or Producer?

The live feed of Miliband's big speech to the television companies broke down towards the end of it but from what I gather from the reports I have read the missing bit would not have changed the opinions of those watching on television. According to the reports the speech was meant to be heartfelt, was bereft of policy detail but full of repetitive and banal phrases. The unions thought they had seen a boy become a man and Guido's cloud form implied the speech was about British people's right values. The Evening Standard is probably right in saying that Labour 'still has it's work cut out' but the Guardian exhorts us to rejoice in this left wing speech. Miliband tried to persuade us that he is an outsider and being the son of an immigrant communist lecturer at the LSE it might seem like that to the majority but of course would his father and by extension his son have felt like that being part of an intellectual world of the left and living in Primrose Hill? I doubt it. Presumably he wanted to portray himself like an insider - why else have the Union Jack as his backdrop? The trouble with Miliband I have concluded is that he is basically a boring person, a wonk that you would never want to invite to a dinner party. That means he is not a leader and and Britain will never vote for him. Sad for the Labour party but not for the rest of us. What will be sad for the rest of us will be another bout of QE and a payment on our part of more into the IMF. The eurozone is a poison and must not be supported by us financially anymore. We must seek our independence from the EU, a construct set up by smoke and mirrors to which we were gulled into joining. An institution set up to ensure its members are run by the French and their fellow travellers - read Peter Jay's excellent foreword to the Guilty Men by Oborne and Weaver.
