I suppose that I was a somewhat typical middle class 60’s undergrad, awarded good “A” levels, got into a good University, grew my hair long, grew a beard, tried several “certain substances”, (and DID inhale!) lived with a couple of girls, did the “Kabul” run one Summer, came out with a “First”, and made my way in the world.

Where you fall down in your analysis concerns my politics as I am not, was not, and never will be a supporter of communism or socialism, though I am pleased to be able to claim to have a social conscience.

Totalitarian?

In some respects and in some areas today yes, as there is a need for totalitarianism in society today probably more so than at any time in the past.
