For Granddad, ‘socialism’ was just a ten-bob word for common decency.
Pretty much. Equality & fairness. Not words that much bother the Tories nor it seems the LibDems. Also not something that bothered New <hawk, spit> Labour much either, though it did much more to alleviate poverty than most, whether through cancelling African debt (Brown, not Bliar) or bringing so many kids out of poverty. But equality & fairness is all it's about really. Overcoming the Thatcherite individualism & lack of care for society, is still an on-going process though, and one I see Ed Miliband continuing apace.
