KINGS WHO NEEDS THEM


The idea that we need a figurehead, a monarchy, however benign and well meaning is outdated.  People do not need to be told what to do.  They know. However unpredictable the outcome of their actions may be, humanity belongs to all of us and all of us have a part to play in its destiny.  The overwhelming desire to take to the streets is not some anomaly in human behaviour.  It is the legitimate and instinctive wisdom of individual members of the species to influence the direction and destiny of the human story.  Where once kings were made, now they can be unmade.  What does it tell the world that Britain, a modern democratic state, still bows to a monarch.  Before very long, Britain will be the backward country, overtaken by history and the compulsion of ordinary people to have a voice in how they live and what they think.

WE ARE WHO WE ARE...

This is an old picture of Port William in Wigtownshire, a little seaside village, in the South West corner of Scotland, near Newton Stewart, near Wigtown, where Christianity is thought to have landed in Britain from Ireland, near where they drowned the Covenentor martyr, Margaret Wilson. If you arrived there this afternoon you would find it little changed. It has internet access and the cars are up to date, but everything else, has remained about the same throughout the three hundred years the generations of my family have walked along the walked along the seawall and pulled their coats around their chests to protect themselves against the fierce, cold winds that blow across Luce Bay.

Why?

When somewhere or someone discovers their essential nature and likes it, they see little need to change. Change is usually forced on us from without rather than within. Some of that change helps us to grow and prosper. Some of it destroys the past we know and understand.

Let us not therefore decry meddling...we are all in this together...the world belongs to all of us.

Speak up for the democratic movement. Speak up for the people of the streets no matter where in the world those streets run.

Speak up.
