We're back from a week with friends on the Isles of Scilly.
The stay was as wonderful as ever - but there's a spoiler.
Apart from glass bottles there's NO recycling of waste.
Eric Pickles would love it - everything just shoved into one bin.
By the end of the week it felt like a desecration of the place you admire for its beauty and peacefulness.
It's high time recycling got started.
And I also mean the recycling of Labour ideals and achievement.
I visited Harold Wilson's grave - saw how lovingly well it is tended.
His legacy contains bold moves and a greatness we need to remind ourselves about.
- the Open University
- comprehensive schools
- a welfare state where ordinary families benefitted from his Government's efforts to make British society more equal.- on a scale never seen since
- not being a yes-sir-USA-poodle for calamitous wars - he resisted huge pressure from the States to take Britain into Viet Nam
- his government repealed the restrictive laws on homosexuality, censorship and divorce
We now need to use the 'heat of green technology' to grow strong in the 21st century.
The Labour Party pushes for this progressive future.
The Condems don't.
