THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.

Aspirational Socialism
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/jul/01/andy-burnham-labour-leadership-socialist-values
I am really quite impressed with Andy Burnham's Aspirational Socialism really. It actually sounds quite reasonable, and it trips off the tongue nicely.
I see that Diane Abbott is trying to do a bit for race relations by standing up for people like herself, ie non-whites. Why are women and blacks mostly in the parasitical public sector, though, hmmmm?
