I have tried very hard to find something to disagree with - this is what I
came up with:
> Fudge's appeasement policies.
My understanding is that an appeasement policy - especially in times of
peace -
consists of buying the continued peace by giving the potential aggressor what
he (or she) wants. As Fudge's policy (apparently at leasts) consists of
denying the existence of the aggressor, is is policy then really one of
appeasement?
(OK - so it's a petty nitpick, but I couldn't find anything else ;-)
Very well put, Richard, thanks.
