TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK
“I was reading the other day,” Lieutenant-commander Fletcher, M.P., informed the House of Commons, “ a story of a man who went to his friend and said: ‘I was given a slap in the face this morning. What do you advise me to do about it? ’ The friend considered the problem, and then said: ‘Well, if you were given it, I should advise you to keep it.’ That is the position in which we are at the present time. We receive slap after slap in the face, and there is nothing we can do except accept them. This Government must really have a crick in its tollective neck from keeping on turning the other check.”
