Happy Families!

Considering how often liberals denounce traditional values, they don't half like to keep it in the family. There's another one here:
In 1974, T Dan Smith, the leader of Newcastle City Council, and Durham County Council chief Andy Cunningham - father of former Labour minister Jack, now Lord, Cunningham - were jailed.
Admittedly, that kind of background could be a mixed blessing, but there's still something distinctly wacky about a form of socialism where every second person is somebody's son and heir. Isn't the whole point of socialism that running the country shouldn't be a family business ?

UPDATE:

Late to the party as ever - The BBC Pioneers have already covered a whole bus load of liberal's who believe charity begins at home.
