I don't think I ever really did, after a liftetim of 'left to right'. Likewise, the star constellations moved the 'wrong way' round the sky.

There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.
