I think the center ground have got to become the people of change again and not the guardians of the status quo. And that is the weakness it comes to in our campaign. You can see it in your politics, you can see it everywhere.

Lord Cranborne told the leader of the opposition to 'back me or sack me' - he succeeded in doing both.
Tony Blair
Image
I actually did trouble to read Marx first hand. I found it illuminating in so many ways in particular, my perception of the relationship between people and the society in which they live was irreversibly altered.

Sovereignty rests with me as an English MP and that's the way it will stay.

Saddam Hussein's regime is despicable, he is developing weapons of mass destruction, and we cannot leave him doing so unchecked. He is a threat to his own people and to the region and, if allowed to develop these weapons, a threat to us also.
Tony Blair

There is no doubt that the time to act is now. It is now that timely action can avert disaster. It is now that with foresight and will such action can be taken without disturbing the essence of our way of life, by adjusting behaviour not altering it entirely.

They could have been removed. They could have been hidden. They could have been destroyed.
