WHILE watching a DVD recently of the original television series of Upstairs Downstairs, the actress Nicola Pagett, who played the part of the MP’s daughter, Elizabeth Bellamy, said in one of the episodes: “The Conservatives look after the privileged, the Liberals only go so far and the Labourites seem to make a mess of things.”
These words were applying to the early 1900s. I wonder if they could still apply today, as politics go?
Well worth thinking about I would say.
