Home is where the heart, is but their hearts are not with you. Their heart sare elsewhere. And I think you might not realise that they do think about you, I, or us in the same way we think about them. And we're encouraged to do so, because it maintains the status quo. So we cannot rely on them to do what needs to be done by their own volition. The people must stand up together and demand real change. and that can begin by remembering Tony Benn's words - protecting our interests is an eternal duty of self care of those who are not rich. And the only way to do it, is to stop asking anything of those who can't or won't help us do that. And to be heard we must act in solidarity again. We've forgotten that lesson of what it was like before 1945, and it took less than 100 years to do so. Now it's time to start rebuilding that machinery again, based on local people working together and creating ways to help ourselves and our communities flourish. That means making our wants and needs clear to those seeking our votes, and be compassionately sceptical while doing it. No big honchos parachuting into our communities and disappearing to Westminster. We want people who know us, care about us, and who will work with us to represent us, and we should pursue democratic goals like English devolution, strengthening of local government, and citizen participation in policy making. Proportional representation, and reform of cfebtrak government. Britain needs to stop morphing into a company town, and be a country, a home again for all its people.
