Or, like the rest of us that took one
baby step further, realized that it is ok to say «I don't know, and may never know, but will ask questions until I am
satisfied (which is never) and meanwhile will «treat all others
with the respect I expect from a stranger, as well as whenever possible and reasonable will treat all life forms
with respect and dignity.»
Mr Ashdown will
step down as party leader after the June European elections, and retire as MP for Yeovil at the next general election, but his restless energy is unlikely to be
satisfied solely by more time spent at his house in France and
with his
baby grandson.
