I hope that the new understandings about how flawed our actions for the last 3 years have been take hold. Too few people were given FAR too much power and they all broke their covenant to act in the best interest of the society. May enough people realize how we were all oppressed and used so that it never happens again.

      @@susannamarker2582 I´m more or less a left-wing Puritan (although not British). But I still listen to David Starkey with interest. I don´t agree with him on everything, but I know an expert when I see one :-)
      I find it odd that my country is an ex-Communist, one but there´s more freedom of speech in our universities nowadays than there is in Britain. It´s normal here to listen with respect to lectures of people you don´t agree with; as indeed it used to be, and in many places still probably is, in Britain.
