Quote Unquote

Ah, it seems so long ago since I was last here. Still, not much has happened, has it? Eh? Oh, well...
One thing I did note was the the Leader Of Her Majesty's Opposition, Mr Tony Cameron (or was it Mr David Blair, the Prime Minister? I forget) made a speech in which he uttered the immor[t]al line: "It's time we admitted that there's more to life than money, and it's time we focused not just on GDP, but on GWB - general wellbeing."
Marvellous. Wise words. Especially when coming from a millionaire. I suspect most single mothers, struggling to feed their children, will appreciate being lectured that there's more to life than money, and they shouldn't be so obsessed by it.
Such admonitions are always welcome from people who have never had the chance to see the opposite side. Although personally, I've always rather enjoyed the quote from the great Steven Patrick Morrisey: "There's more to life than books you know, but not much more..."
