A Generous Sprinkling Of Sugar

Louise Mensch may be a practising Catholic with an interest in good causes such as the fight against Internet pornography. But by her remarks about Piers Morgan she still made a fool of herself and of the Committee on which she serves.

Her Twitter antagonist, Lord Sugar, may once have published a Sun article claiming never to have heard of Gordon Brown. But he is now the single largest individual donor to the Labour Party. Just as any real Labour Movement must recognise and celebrate the role of business in providing employment, generating wealth, sustaining communities, supporting good causes, and so on, so any businessperson with an ounce of common sense must recognise and celebrate the importance to economic efficiency of decent healthcare, education, housing, transport infrastructure, wages, working conditions, and so on.
