People dispute whether Winston Churchill actually made this quote but supposably he said the following:

"Anyone under the age of 25 who is not a socialist has no heart. Anyone over the age of 25 who is a socialist has no brain."

It appears that Norman Geras (who writes extremely well) is going through the painful process of growing a brain. Geras' article concerns his discovery that his socialist comrades have neither hearts or brains. He'll be branded a reactionary and capitalist roader for this one. All the better for him.
