I FIND it quite ironic that the Labour Party should this year be celebrating its centenary, when the Labour Party of today bears little similarity to the Party at its foundation - as Peter Mandelson and his assistant, Tony Blair, never miss an opportunity to remind us.
Indeed, if the present leadership of the party had been around at the turn of the century, the Labour Party would never even have been founded.
