From The Telegraph:
Baroness Ashton of Upholland will use the values that led her to help to run the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in her new role as Europe’s foreign minister, she said yesterday.So a woman who has never held a proper job and owes her entire career to a series of appointments, including a peerage and the second most powerful position in the EU, will use the "values", which she refuses to disavow, that led her to become treasurer for a Communist front organisation bankrolled by Moscow and run by the KGB for the express purpose of demoralising and weakening the West in the face of a rapacious, totalitarian Soviet Empire.
From Caracas to Beijing they must be laughing so hard that major organs are dislodging.

Wouldn't it be refreshing if someone with little experience would get into government and declare: "The time has come for smaller government, less interference in business, and less interference in the private lives of our citizens. And it's time to reduce tax rates and allow the mighty machine of our industry roar forth onto the playing field of a free and unfettered market."
Yeah, I know.
You seem awfully sure of that allegation despite the fact that the only proven link between the CND and the Soviet bloc was Vic Allen passing information to the Stasi; now I'm not defending them or Ashton but you have to be wary of making such statements, it doesn't do anybody favours except for the people you're criticising.
