Yes indeed CG, the prospect of a Labour Government, particularly on this issue, reminds me of that old story about the reviewing officer at Sandhurst, Cranwell etc, when giving his address to the new intake on passing out, reflects on the achievements of those on parade. Starting with those who have achieved distinction and working his way to mentioning those who managed to muddle through, just. But in order to give them heart and reassure, the good General/Air Chief Marshal/Admiral claims to have had such a scarcely satisfactory assessment himself when he graduated, and look at him now etc. He goes on to tell the foregathered that in fact the College Commandant was minded to write about him that, anyone who would follow this officer anywhere would do so, surely, out of mere curiosity!

Well CG, that is how I feel about a Corbyn Government, especially on the subject at hand, it would be very intriguing!
