Originally posted by AtW View PostIt's the job of the Liebor Govt to remind people about it, I really do hope their party will be disbanded and all leadership will be on the streets (in this weather) or in jails (without heating).
They won't make that mistake again for another decade or so, I hope.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Especially damaging to the government's credibility were the two miners' strikes of 1972 and 1974, the latter of which resulted in much of the country's industry working a Three-Day Week in an attempt to conserve energy. The National Union of Mineworkers won its case but the energy shortages and the resulting breakdown of domestic consensus contributed to the eventual downfall of his government.Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas.
