"Don't listen to what the Communists say, but look at what they do."
Now that the AA has proved by examination of its own statistics that drivers are being driven off the roads by the appalling costs of motoring today, I am certain that the so-called Green Lobby will be wearing full-faced, 'cat-that-swallowed-the-cream' grins.
What have these Republican presidents and hopefuls all got in common?
For years now, BT has quite happily collected the landline rental from millions of phone owners in the country, providing little in return.
"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."
I adore The Narnia Chronicles by the matchless CS Lewis. He makes all imitators and corrupters of the genre seem pretty poor fish by comparison.
My only comment!
As recently as last week, 65 more Christians were arrested in this East African nation in what Release partners describe as an ongoing crackdown on the Eritrean church.
Delving ever deeper, our trusty mole has also discovered why this is the case.

'The chief recipient of British aid is India. Yet India is rich enough to afford a space programme, nuclear programme and even its own foreign aid programme. How ridiculous is this?' (Mel Phillips.)
Will Cameron come to the fore and do a much needed volte face on his wretched attitudes towards Grammar Schools? Will he support the Berkshire schools under siege by 'the usual suspects'?
When on a personal level, there was a tendency to be less abrupt but nonetheless far more direct than the Church today.
We are certainly in a spiritual wilderness - I believe that we must 'cry out'! We cannot maintain a nicey, nicey Faith just because that method does not ruffle feathers and leaves us in our comfort zones.
I have always been suspicious of revisionist historians - not to mention writers 'out to make a buck' - especially where a hero has his/her reputation trashed - (or rebuilt.)
And more than two-thirds (69 per cent) think claimants should lose their benefits if they turn down the offer of a job - even if it pays the same or less than welfare payouts.Around half (51 per cent) said people should not be able to get welfare at all unless they have previously paid into the system through national insurance and tax.The Mori survey was conducted for think tank Policy Exchange, which published a report calling for jobseekers to be required to put in a full 35-hour week in their work-search.'
