    Correct.

    The Brit's as a nation of animal lovers, are more horrified to see a mangy, hungry-looking hound on a street corner than a living human being, and do dig deep in to their pockets accordingly.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      I was very amused a few weeks back when I was walking down the road in town at night, then saw a beggar pestering people on the street and suddenly heard a tannoy on a lamp post blurt out the tinny sound of a policeman saying

      "HEY YOU!......."

      The beggar then span around to the tannoy looking confused...

      "YEESS YOU!! BEGGING HERE IS ILLEGAL. LEAVE TOWN IMMEDIATELY! OR YOU WILL BE ARRESTED"

      He sounded spookily like the police out of the totalitarian film 1984.

          I recently walked past SuitYous mum. She was kicking a can down the road. "What are you doing I asked?"

          "Moving", she said.
