A character out of " Oliver Twist "

I read the first sentence of " Pure nonsense " today  ( Feb. 23 West

    Bay -" Your Turn " ) and said to myself: " an A.H Liddle production."

       Sure enough ! In his  Oliver Twisted mind you must distinguish between

    mass hunger and a lack of food . As if there was only a very tenuous

    connection.  Beware of Marxist propaganda ! he warns.

        Lesser minds- but perhaps bigger hearts - see a problem here and

    organize events such as the " Hunger Banquet ". If I understand this

    conservative correctly , he thinks that the hungry are- for the most

    part- inefficient.

        OK there may be an element of truth here. Is Mr. Liddle so secure

    and self-confident himself that he never sees himself knocking on the

    door of an Amos House ? Does he himself live by wages or income from

    investments? What if worshiped Stock Market were to crash again ?

        Before teaching the hungry efficiency is it not best to appease

    their hunger FIRST ?

         Mr. Liddle seems to me like Charles  Dickens character - right

    out of " Oliver Twist ".

       " You want MORE ! "  you say. " What a silly, wicked boy ! "
