“You're on the verge of losing everything but you don’t understand why”
It&#x27;s a tragedy that the country of Nye Bevan and Clement Attlee has come to this.<p>I&#x27;m reminded of a quote that I think I first read in &quot;Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class&quot; (NB strongly recommended):<p><i>&quot;There’s been class warfare for the last 20 years, and my class has won&quot;</i><p>Warren Buffet<p>Edit: I&#x27;m in the middle of reading &quot;Citizen Clem&quot; and what an extraordinarily capable chap Attlee was. Here&#x27;s a good article on him in (of all places) the Daily Mail:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailymail.co.uk&#x2F;debate&#x2F;article-3174009&#x2F;DOMINIC-SANDBROOK-Labour-s-greatest-leader-teach-squabbling-pygmies.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailymail.co.uk&#x2F;debate&#x2F;article-3174009&#x2F;DOMINIC-SA...</a><p>Edit2: Even Thatcher was a fan of Attlee: <i>&quot;Of Clement Attlee, however, I was an admirer. He was a serious man and a patriot. Quite contrary to the general tendency of politicians in the 1990s, he was all substance and no show.&quot;</i>
