Is This Any Way to Conduct a Revolution?





Almost fifty years since the last Hungarian revolution, they've had another one. What will the outcome be? As Chinese Premier Chou En Lai said when asked about the outcome of the French Revolution - "it's too soon to tell".

The only thing I know is that there's not been enough butchery. Throwing a few stones and petrol bombs is the modern equivelant of putting flowers in the barrel of a gun.

What you want to do is terrorise whole swathes of the population into compliance.



Back in the day we used to beat landlords and horders to death with brushes in the middle of the village square. And look! Almost sixty years later we're still here.

Although Sir Paul McCartney has been around longer.
