A great leap backwards

The spirit of the eighties isn't quite dead. More's the pity. I remember our first female Prime Minister quoting St Francis of Assisi's prayer, all sanctimonious, and then presiding over a government which  reinforced the very values that the venerable saint had wanted to overcome. Those were years of greed, prejudice and intolerance. I will stand up to such horrors until such time as I stop encountering them.
