The British Don't Runaway From

Of Course There Are Regrets. I Shall Regret Always That I Found My Own Authentic Voice In Politics. I Was Too Conservative, Too Conventional. Too Safe, Too Often. Too Defensive. Too Reactive. Later, Too Often On The Back Foot.

In Housing In The Fifties In Britain And The Sixties, We Pulled Down The Terraces - Destroyed Whole Communities And Replaced Them With Tower Blocks And We Built Walkways That Became Rat-runs For Muggers. That Was The Fashionable Opinion. But It Was Wrong.

Recovery Begins From The Darkest Moment.

It Is Time To Return To Those Core Values, Time To Get Back To Basics: To Self-discipline And Respect For The Law, To Consideration For Others, To Accepting Responsibility For Yourself And Your Family, And Not Shuffling It Off On Other People And The State.

I Think The Majority Of The British People Are Still Sanguine About The Need For War.
