   I thought that I would post this to add to the discussion on the 50th   
   anniversary of the worker's uprising in Hungary:-   
      
   Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Hungary by Gerry Healy (November   
   1956)   
      
   I was interested in the British Communit Party's response.   I was in   
   Britain at the time.  It does seem that the influence of  Communism has   
   permanently affected the political mind of anyone in Britain employed in the   
   Public Services.  From the BBC to the Teachers Unions.   Not openly stated   
   as Communist but shown to be in behaviour.   
      
   Mediocrity and  lack of initiative is the key marker.  The very   
   characteristics of the poorer elements of society trying to elevate   
   themselves but thwarted by lack of talent and seeking solace in group-think.
