Good morning all, NO, not a Spoonerism, but a concern that we are beset about on all sides with unhappy souls who seem to want to grasp DEMOCRACY by the neck and make the exception over to become the STANDARD.
If we take the time to reflect, this is nothing far different from what GS is trying to achieve with ‘Open Societies’ – to quote the well-known Joan Baez lyric – ‘Coffee-coloured people by the score’
Yet, sitting in my garden at the early dawn today, I was impressed that the Dunnock and the ‘House Sparrow’ seem to be getting along quite nicely, each looking for the victuals to keep their offspring going, neither ever seeming to have any inclination to create a ‘Sparrock’ or a ‘Dunnow’, and they’ve been around for far longer than today’s scientists.
Gotta be a lesson there for us, I’d say..

Born in a stone-flagged under-dwelling, in an obscure Yorkshire village. Funded for grammar school by my aunt, worked variously in HM Customs, the London Met Police and switched careers into fire-resistant glazing in 1984. Back in 1974, like C.S. Lewis, I had come to the conclusion that 'Christians are wrong, but all the rest are bores'. Worked for a spell in Israel, and understood why the 'Austrian asylum-seeker''s final solution did not succeed. Confronted now with the practical outworking of the Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan, I see that my country has been sleep-walked into the undemocratic oligarchy of Brussels. My country is too rich in noble history to remain subordinate to these malevolent souls with hearts blacker than a witch's hat. The Rastafarian motto comes to mind - 'those who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.' Our country needs a leader (man or wombman) with the heart of a LION, and, love him or loathe him, there is no-one else who has faced down these conspirators for over 20 years. At the Brexit Party rally in Huddersfield I was convinced by Ann W as much as anyone - a root-and-branch change back to true local democracy is the only way.
