Aneurin Bevan Quote

Just consider, all the little nations running for shelter here and there, one running to Russia and another to the United States.

It is against that negative polarisation we have been fighting for years. We want to have the opportunity to interpose between these two giants a moderating, modifying and mitigating diplomacy.
