Tony may be a blast from the past and judging by the way this electorate are feeling he will be dead well before we have any socialist government here... R.I.P to Labour..let the Tory dogs out!  |
I'm familiar with Benn's sentiments ... but what struck me was that one comment .... I think that he is right ... if I interpret it correctly ... that govt. should represent us .... not control us, or, in the case of many govts., try to "protect us", to usurp our common sense. Some on here have mentioned on occasion the "nanny state" .... and I think I could apply Benn's statement to this type of governing ...
