I believe that the foundation of democratic liberty is a willingness to believe that other people may perhaps be wiser than oneself.
Clement Attlee
I am pleased to see from the laughter on the Ministerial benches that there is no implication on their part to take Sir Oswald Mosley too seriously. It can easily be seen to-day that this idea of a dictator is gradually falling down.
