It is fifty years now since PM Harold Macmillan, at a speech in Cape Town, said, “The wind of change is blowing through this continent. Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact”.
This speech at the time, and since, has always been used as an example of the pragmatic attitude of the "modern" Conservative party.
For me however, the key phrase is "Whether we like it or not", of course, we like it!
Amandla!
