poliphiloYou knew Ed Miliband's father Ralph was a Marxist, right? Well you would have done if you took any interest in these matters. It wasn't exactly a secret. He published books. He wrote articles.
BUT
Hold onto your hats because the Mail is now able to reveal that- you're not going to believe this- Ralph Miliband was a Marxist!
And apparently being a Marxist is the same as "hating Britain". Well, here's the evidence: he thought the class system was wicked and that people got into power through the old boy's network of the public schools and Oxbridge. What a vicious twisting of the truth! I mean it's obvious that people like Cameron (and Ralph's two sons) get to the top by intrinsic merit and sheer hard graft. O the humanity!
Dig him up and burn what's left and throw the ashes in the Thames.

But it sez so in the Daily Mail so it must be true, innit?
