The Real Divide

According to Sir Menzies Campbell on The World At One, "the real divide in British politics is now not between Left and Right, but between libertarian and authoritarian."

No, Sir Menzies: there cannot be liberty without authority, and there cannot be authority (as distinct from sheer power, brute force) without liberty. What we now have is sheer power, is brute force, without liberty.

That is "the real divide", between those (a tiny, tiny number) exercising that power and practising that force, and those of us on the receiving end. That is the problem, and you, Sir Menzies, seem quite unable to fix it, because you cannot even tell what it is.
