In 1956, as he introduced a CBS radio production of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley declared."The price of liberty, and even of common humanity, is eternal vigilance”. He also predicted the ease with which we can be distracted from our duty. #BeVigilant.

You want to know why #WhyBritsDontWantTrump @WillBlackWriter?. Because we don't have a vacancy in the UK for an over-privileged floppy-haired xenophobic arsehole. That position is already taken by Boris Johnson.
