British people want a stable economy.able management and to retain their sense of freedom and parliamentary institutions. There are still people in great Britain who find fault with Mr.Clement At lee and the labour Government for having granted freedom to India and other colonies which marked the beginning of the downfall of Britain. The British psych might not yet have reconciled to the liquidation of Her Majesty's empire and unconsciously or un knowingly may be taking revenge on the Labour party who liquidated the empire. Any how Tacher's magic was short lived. British economy is again in straits. Britain is no more dynamic. She has lowered herself in to a second rate industrial power far behind US, Germany, Scandinavian countries, France, Italy and Japan. Mr. David Day told me that the British economy subsits on its service and industries and overseas investments. If the returns from service industries and overseas investments dwindle or are threatened Britain would collapse and sink in to a bottomless abyss. This fear haunts the British mind as a nightmare and makes it hesitant to take any bold step.The British mind was never revolutionary , or radical but conservative. This explains their lukewarmness towards the European community, European Parliament and European coinage. European mind is more radical and in the European community socialists remain the single biggest political force. Britain wants still to retain her semi feudal peerages and anachronistic institutions like king-ship on which which the average European looks contemptuously. Any how gone are the days when the British people prided in their glory and and said to themselves `Britannia ,Britannia ye rule over the waves and your sons shall never be slaves". The mistress of the world is now an aged ailing woman. Though aged and ailing she wants to retain her identity, her parliamentary system and her economic structure.

I am not an admirer of Akhilesh Yadav
One of my senior colleagues asked whether I am an admirer of Akhilesh Yadav. Absolutely no. Never I can. why should I be a fan of politicians? I am not a seasoned politician. I never fought elections.I am a full time journalist and it is my proffession. I use to observe politics. It is my passion to watch political developments. I use to support and encourage new generation. because it is need of the hour. young generation with political clarity must emerge.Akhilesh Yadav is now elevated to the throne of UP CM. Hence I tweeted
' you are elevated not only to a particular position. But ur the successor of the Socialist Movement of India. Hence Your responsibility is very high.`
Does it mean that I am an admirer of Akhilesh? What is wrong in it. why should we underestimate a person whom we don't know. Why should we curse him on his victory? Of course I am curious to observe his performance. Of course I am disturbed and disappointed about his cabinet colleagues.The presence of Ambanis in the swearing ceremony again disappointed me. But let us wait and see how he performs. If he go wrong every one has the right to criticise. I will be in the forefront to do that.
But we should not under estimate persons. In UP He has a thumping victory. It is a peoples verdict. It is a people's mandate. We all must respect it. because I am sure If I had contested there with my ideological monopoly I could not gather even 1000 votes. It is a reality. Peoples' mandate is more than every thing. If I failed to gather people's support it is my duty to accept and analyse my failure. Why blame others?

Mrs.Thacher the Saviour of European Economy
CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILISATION
BY
P.V.KURIAN
The British people as a whole are carried not by idealism but by pragmatism. The Labour Government brought many fundamental changes in the economy and they were on the whole in the right direction. But unfortunately the Trade Unions began to function as a heavy stone around the neck of the Labour Government and dictated terms to the Government. The British People enmasse resented this arrogance of the Trade unions. Trade Unions started endless strikes which which shattered Britain's economy. The labour Government lacked managerial efficiency. The traditional conservative British People preferred efficiency in management of the Governmental affairs to policies and and voted for Mrs. Thacher and Tories.
Mrs. Thacher, the iron woman was an able administrator. She put a stop to the drifting of affairs. The economy showed some sign sign of improvement. One may be surprised to know that Mrs. Thacher is looked upon by the British People as a great revolutionary. Mr. Winston churchill saved Britain from Nazis and Hitler. Mrs. Thacher saved Britain from economic chaos and collapse. The trend in Britain for managerial efficiency in economy reminds one of the weimer Republics, the economic collapse of the post war Germany in the thirties which led to the rise of the Nazis and Hitler as the saviour of German economy. In Italy also economic chaos led to the rise of the Facism and Musolini who promised the Italian people the glory of the Roman empire. Economic collapse led to the failure of Liberals and Socialists in the Europe since European Socialists were mostly concerned with distribution of National Wealth than stepping up of production and giving new dimensions to socialist thought and action.
