Sometimes I just despair. Even my elder unmarried, (a graduate trainee with two years experience on the shop floorof her plc. employer and now more recently working at their Head Office in a new role, for which she was invited to apply), tells me: Im not interested in politics Dad; I dont see what difference it makes! I presume that she sees politics as: Same old shit, different day. and to a marginal degree she is right; because Ive now had cause to ask myself Was I interested in politics at 23 years old? No, I wasnt. I conclude that it takes a few decades of observation on the worlds happenings, moulded with lots of other things, to finally come to take a stand-point and draw a line in the sand, to define ones own personal political beliefs and to stand up for them. Although, when I was 23 years old I was in fact instinctively already right leaning, but, perhaps, the right when I was 23 years old in 1977 was not then under such attack from the Marxists, as it is to-day.....?
