Tony Benn

For those who don't recognize the name, the info can be found here.

'Tis a long background to the following words, so let me give them to you straight and dispense with such pleasantries as describing the Blackboard Exhibit where V. and I found them over lunch at the Museum of the History of Science. I'm sure Bennie would rather it such anyway, especially given the general thrust of Ahab's. Maybe those politicos can incorporate his simple blackboard into an essay answer?

Good Liberals could.

ASK THE POWERFUL FIVE QUESTIONS:

(1) What power have you got?
(2) Where did you get if from?
(3) In whose interest do you exercise it?
(4) To whom are you accountable?
(5) How can we get rid of you?

ONLY Democracy gives us that right.

That is why NO-ONE with power likes democracy.

And that is why every generation must struggle to win it and keep it.

Including me and you, here and NOW.
