Red Ed's pledge to bring back socialism is a homage to
his Marxist father. So what did Miliband Snr really believe in? The answer
should disturb everyone who loves this country
Daily Mail, 27th September 2013
It’s the heft of winter that I love
green tunnels through beech trees
boiled sweets and corned beef
country railways, the constant apologies.
Fried breakfasts and mugs of tea
ancient churches and old rectories.
Walks on the heath, with my dog
the tolerance of eccentricities
the throaty roar of a Jaguar
lichen on walls, the green of a thistle
the taste of marmalade, sour and sweet
buttered toast, the milkman’s whistle.
The way that darkness falls unexpectedly
like an anvil over the old cemetery.
Some observations from my morning walk, whilst musing upon the Ralph Miliband busines and what it means to love the country that you live in.
