IDEALISM: Dollars.

TEMPERANCE: Being in a temper with those who temperately enjoy themselves.

BROAD-MINDEDNESS: The result of flattening high-mindedness out.

MENTALITY: A state of somebody else's mind that you dislike or don't understand.

GESTURE: Word stripped of all proper meaning, and therefore usable at indiscretion.

VICTIMISATION: "Making the doer suffer" -- which the Greeks thought was right and "Labour" thinks wrong.

PSYCHOLOGY: Something like "gesture" and "mentality," ie. used without meaning.

He did not mean that she had written a bad book or held erroneous opinions on the subject. He only wanted to get rid of her.

And on politics, The Two Commandments of "Labour":

(1) Nobody else shall have anything that I have not.
