    With the benefit of hindsight, can anyone apolitically tell what exactly was meant by:

    “Labour’s way or Frankfurt’s way”.?

    Admittedly it did have a certain ring to it, but to put it another way, it really was no more than:

    "Its going to be my way or your way", with the important word in both phrases being "or".

    It was not a threat, not even a request or an order, more a clear simple statement of fact, ie, one outcome or the other would eventually prevail, and as in any playground game, there would simply be one winner and one loser.

    For all it's weight, the phrase clearly did not suggest any consequences for the other party (Frankfurt) if it won the toss, just as there was no implied suggestion of a prize for Labour and it's supporters if it got it's way.

    So why did we get so hung up on it as if it was some sort of magical and profound, brave fighting talk? :confused:
