Keeping the Faith
Blairite toadie David Taylor has been rumbed by Dizzy for registering a series of Johnson4leader (presumably Alan..) domains.
Having failed dismally to find any equivalent for Reid, Cruddas, Hain etc, I've instead been investigating cultural antecedents for 'Keeping the Faith', his love letter, in website form, to Tony Blair. Google it, I'm not giving him the traffic.
Lo and behold, it is also the name of three albums and a movie. The album by jazz man Steve Laury provides the greatest scope for mild amusement, including such tracks as 'Tears in the Rain' and 'There's One Way'.
Better still is a little known Rom Com with Ben Stiller, Ed Norton and Jenna Elfman, which "attempts something refreshingly different with its tale built on a barroom joke premise ("a priest and a rabbi fall in love with the same girl. . ."). I suppose it could be recast, forgetting religious allegiances, with Broon, Blair and the People's Party. Ho hum. Serves Taylor right for using such a tired phrase.
