The Promised Land

Over five thousand years ago Moses said to the children of Israel "Pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

Nearly 50 years ago, Harold Wilson said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, light up a camel; this is the Promised Land."

Then the Somerset Liberal Democrats sold your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the Promised Land.
