Blairites are told nothing else from the cradle, even though most of them are as thick as mince and none of them has ever read anything. They explode if anyone ever fails to show them the deference to which they are accustomed, and that is just the ones whose grandfathers were not, as Directors-General of the ISI, de facto rulers of Pakistan.

The Government prevented a settlement of the rail dispute in August. Egged on by the BBC, it is actively assisting almost entirely foreign-owned companies, which are often owned by foreign states, in driving down safety standards in Britain so that they can funnel abroad yet more of their British public subsidies.
