	Roy Hattersley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roy Hattersley was a strong socialist and Labour supporter from his youth, electioneering for his local MP and city councillors from 1945.
		Hattersley headed the British delegation to Reykjavik during the "Cod War", but was primarily tasked with renegotiating the terms of Britain's membership of the EEC.
		Hattersley was long regarded as being on the right of the party, but with New Labour in power he found himself criticising a Labour government from the left.

	Labour's elder statesman Roy Hattersley calls on party to "rise up" against Prime Minister Blair
		Roy Hattersley, a former deputy leader of the Labour Party, has launched a scathing attack on the Blair government in a series of articles in the Observer and Guardian newspapers.
		Hattersley implies that Prime Minister Tony Blair is an ignoramus, whose contempt for political history and principles makes it impossible for the government to “steer a steady course”.
		Hattersley’s articles appear just one month after the general election, in which Blair won a second term in office, but was elected with the support of just 27 percent of the electorate.

	The Religion Report: 18 June 2003 - Three centuries of Methodism
		Roy Hattersley is a former Deputy Leader of the British Labour Party.
		According to Roy Hattersley, “only in Imperial England could the most influential religious figure of a whole intellectual age, be a man who contented himself with refining rather than challenging the doctrines of Orthodoxy, and created a new church by organisation, not ideas”.
		Roy Hattersley: Well, one interpretation is that the 18th century in England was an inherently violent society.

	The greasy pole
		Roy Hattersley - or Lord Hattersley as we must call him since he left the Commons to become a Life Peer in 1997 - is a Nearly Man. He is among a large bunch of disconsolate political animals roaming the wastelands of frustrated ambition.
		That last option has been favoured by Hattersley, who has used his weekly column in the Guardian to berate Blair's government for their failure to transform British capitalism in such a way that a grateful electorate would be persuaded to return them to power at this election and the next and the next...
		Hattersley soldiered on, with a kind of grim enthusiasm, helping to set up the arrangements with the Liberals and the Ulster Unionists which kept the government going long after they should have resigned.

		Lord Hattersley, one of the party's most senior members, said he felt he was with a party he no longer agreed with - although he would never consider leaving.
		Lord Hattersley said Mr Blair was building a meritocracy, which he said was not a form of society he wanted to see - as it formed only shifting patterns of inequality.
		Lord Hattersley was MP for Sparkbrook in Birmingham for 23 years, retiring in the 1997 general election after which he was made a life peer.

	Feature article: Hattersley's heroes
		Roy Hattersley has recently been viewed as a left winger in his opposition to Blair.
		As Hattersley himself says, by 1951 it was clear even to the Tories that their task was not to dismantle the welfare state or denationalise industry but to build on what Labour had achieved.
		Hattersley's heroes, such as the leader Hugh Gaitskell and the right wing ideologue Anthony Crosland, argued for a party which would abandon outdated notions of class and class struggle and appeal to the upwardly mobile middle classes.

	Paul Foot: Without a paddle (1987)
		Roy Hattersley and many others like him found it was necessary to remind people of “the ideological foundation” on which Labour stood.
		It is that Hattersley himself is infected, as all his colleagues are, by the long years of defeat in government and humiliation in opposition.
		Yet Roy Hattersley limits his aspirations for the next five years to “directing its enthusiasms” in the direction to which all its enthusiasms are, by its very nature, utterly opposed.

		I haven't touched here on Hattersley's remarks on extending anti-discrimination legislation to cover sexuality even for religious schools who hold homosexuality to be a sin, nor on his views about halal slaughter.
		Hattersley was a failure in office and has been a pompous fool out of it.
		Hattersley either wants to ban private education entirely or at the very least wants to harass, stigmatise and tax it half to death.

	The Life of John Wesley:Hattersley, Roy:0385503342:eCampus.com
		With the insight and thoroughness that marked Blood and Fire, his masterful biography of the founders of the Salvation Army, Roy Hattersley chronicles the life of John Wesley and explores the psychological makeup of the man who founded the Methodist Church.
		Through the power of his personality and the strength of his faith, Wesley became the leader of the English religious revival that arose in opposition to the established Anglican Church, and his theology continues to have an impact on religions worldwide.
		Roy Hattersley follows Wesley's spiritual journey, tracing his constant, often agonizing attempts to define the nature of virtue as well as the path to sanctity.

		Roy Hattersley recently devoted his Guardian column to a timely diatribe against the two-wheeled scourge of the highway.
		I refer to Mr Roy Hattersley and his recent ground-breaking philippic in The Guardian against that scourge of the public highway, the cyclist.
		It is a scene of heart-rending pathos: Mr Hattersley and his faithful hound - a perfectly-trained companion animal for sure, one that has never fouled a footpath, crossed the road without looking both ways or killed a defenceless goose - brutally crushed beneath the pedals of a devil-may-care ten-speed racer.

		HATTERSLEY: I don't know about that, I don't know how the votes are cast these days, that's all behind me. I know that one member one vote was vital, I know it was a great triumph for John Smith, I know it's put the Labour Party back on the road to genuine democracy.

		It's hard to express in words the unbelievable lack of self-awareness that it must have taken for Roy Hattersley to type the phrase "dribble on", but fair play to the subs at the Guardian for leaving it in.

		Hattersley knows his way round the corridors of power pretty well — he was deputy leader of the Labor Party (1983-92) and a minister of state in various capacities.
		Hattersley gives a very even-handed account of the 1906 Trade Disputes Act, which gave the unions immunity from actions for damages.
		Hattersley notes the 1905 founding of the I.W.W. in Chicago — and the patronizing "constructive radicalism" of the Liberal Party belonged to the era that was slipping away.

	Liberal England: Roy Hattersley talks nonsense
		Since passive smoking is a cause of cancer, allowing continued contamination in privileged circumstances is about as defensible as arguing that little boys should be sent up chimneys, so acquiring scrotal carcinomas - but only in big houses.
		As everyone except Hattersley knows, the debate over whether to give some premises exemption from does not concern gentlemen's clubs but working men's clubs.
		Hattersley way of resolving this dilemma is to pretend that it does not exist and to witter on about gentlemen's clubs in a way that would have sounded dated 50 years ago.
