    • Abstract:
      The author discusses growing up in poverty in Yorkshire, England, focusing on how that experience influenced his political beliefs. Topics include a discussion of the deaths of several family members due to the inability of his family to afford any medical care; his service in World War II in Britain's Royal Air Force (RAF); and his commitment to Britain's National Health Service (NHS) and welfare state as a means of offering a decent life to the poorest people.
