In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (17121778)
“A family with the wrong members in controlthat, perhaps, is as near as one can come to describing England in a phrase.”
—George Orwell (19031950)
“What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
