TRUBRIT, no. I'm no relation, but I read this on the road to wigan pier:

"All political thinking for years past has been vitiated in the same way. People can foresee the future only when it coincides with their own wishes, and the most grossly obvious facts can be ignored when they are unwelcome." G.O.

This seems to sum up what we have become and what this debate is all about. Que sera sera. Pass the Soma, brother Huxley your brave new world is upon us.
