Noreen BS: Whither Scotland, Northern Ireland? (164* d) RE: BS: Whither Scotland, Northern Ireland? 01 Jul 16


GSS, Tony Benn was quoting Lord Acton, who expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

    "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."

(Pitt the elder had said something very similar well before.)
