Perhaps I can summarise it best by saying this -- Nations that have pursued equality, like the Iron Curtain countries, I think have finished up with neither equality, nor liberty. Nations, which like us, in the past have pursued liberty, as a fundamental objective, extending it to all, have finished up with liberty, human dignity, and far fewer inequalities than other people.

I unloaded sofas, washing machines, a cast iron stove for God’s sake. Nearly broke me. I looked forward to a cigarette break with a madman’s glee, and I was joined by the others, the cigarette the communal language. When I finally finished my community service, they gave me my paperwork to take back to court and on it they wrote great worker, thanks and I felt more satisfaction out of that than nearly all of my poemsies I’ve ever had published.
