QUOTE OF THE MONTH

‘Our political world was riddled with compromise, appeasement, indecision, all part and parcel of the deviousness which permeated our society - I felt strongly about this permissiveness, but at the same time tried to avoid over-reaction. However, it is a sad fact of life that whenever there is a tough issue, the easiest way out is to do nothing. Meanwhile, the extremists keep on doing their own thing all the time - with them there is never any let-up.’

Ian Smith (former prime minister of Rhodesia)
