paul heaton is from sheffield.
He is, he's a Blade I think. He also looks more like Ron Dixon, "Moby" shop driving old Brookside codger with every passing day.

Websters online provides the following definitions:
1: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods
2 a: a system of society or group living in which there is no private property b: a system or condition of society in which the means of production are owned and controlled by the state
3: a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done
I'd disagree with elements of the first two. State ownership without free and democratic control of those means of production, distribution and exchange doesn't really stack up to socialism in my book.
Whatever though it's not Canada, it's not the NHS or any other aspect of the welfare state.
