Ed the red.

So what did you make of Ed Milliband's speech to the Labour Party Conference the other day?  It was a good speech - well written and well delivered, but it was just a speech - just words - so what did it tell us?  Well what came across loud and clear to me is that a Milliband government - if there ever is to be such an animal - will be founded solidly on state control.  Back to the principles of nationalisation and five year plans.  Problem is, that approach has not got a good track record.  Mind you, the market forces approach hasn't been that brilliant either.  There must be a happy medium, mustn't there?  If only somebody can find it!
