Turning the clock back: Acceptable in the 80s?

There are other ways to get this across and John Prescott pointed to Scrapbook’s viewer-submitted video using Calvin Harris’ Acceptable in the 80s.

Portraying the Great Leader as a thuggish class-warrior might be moderately amusing, but it is surely a retrograde step? It is certainly NOT how Tony Blair won three successive General Elections for the Labour Party.
No, it can only be of appeal to the die-hard left wing of the party who want to drag Britain back to the 70s.
This sort of campaign might save the party from extinction but it will assure a Conservative victory and ulitimately make Labour as unelectable as it was under Foot.
