I have seen this cycle of political abuse unfold in the UK liberal democratic system so many times – that I am beginning to think that there must be an elephant’s graveyard somewhere near Westminster where old, wounded, or decrepit far-left leaders go to die. Perhaps Johnny Weissmuller’s “Tarzan” will follow one of them into that special grove – just over the rainbow bridge – where all the Red Ivory will be neatly stacked. Having lived as long as I have, I watch the faces of the innocent youth with sympathy as they discover (for the first-time) how UK political corruption works. Seeing the sorrow and disappointment on their fresh-faces is heart-wrenching to say the least. As a person with experience – all I can tell them is to a) get use to betrayal, and b) learn to hold the line in the face of adversity. Giving them undue comfort now – would prove disempowering for them in the future. In the future they must be stronger than they are now to face the challenges they will have to face – when my generation is gone.
