BRITISH political party, founded over 100 years ago by socialists has been ‘infiltrated by socialists’, it has been claimed. The Labour Party, started in 1900 by self-confessed socialist Keir Hardie, has seen a ‘suspiciously large influx’ of people who believe a lot of the same things as he did.A senior Labour official said: “These people are clearly very interested in politics, but for some reason they haven’t joined the Conservative Party. It would appear they are really into redistribution of wealth, nationalisation and the welfare state. It’s all very sinister.”Jane Thompson, who joined the Labour Party recently, said: “At first I double-checked to make sure I wasn’t a Trotskyist.“I’m pretty sure I’m not, though trotskyist`s can do all kinds of weird things. Anyway, the most likely explanation is that I now believe the Labour Party could potentially do things with which I actually agree.Also, I was a member from 1981 until 1994. At that point I decided it wasn’t really for me anymore. Something must have happened.”
