I am not immortal, but I've got a lot left in me yet.

Misgovernment...will often be reflected in oppressive or aggressive policies towards groups within the state or towards the state's neighbours.

You want to keep more of the money you earn? I'm afraid that's very selfish. We shall want to tax that away. You want to own shares in your firm? We can't have that. The state has to own your firm. You want to choose where to send your children to school? That's very divisive. You'll send your child where we tell you.

Don't Cry For Me, Argentina

Law and order is a social service. Crime and the fear which the threat of crime induces can paralyse whole communities, keep lonely and vulnerable elderly people shut up in their homes, scar young lives and raise to cult status the swaggering violent bully who achieves predatory control over the streets. I suspect that there would be more support and less criticism than today's political leaders imagine for a large shift of resources from Social Security benefits to law and order - as long as rhetoric about getting tough on crime was matched by practice.

I think, historically, the term 'Thatcherism' will be seen as a compliment.

Socialists don't like ordinary people choosing, for they might not choose Socialism.
