Fine words Mike. On New Year’s Eve I’ll raise a glass to that.

Agree Matt, we cannot shrug our shoulders and walk away.

But both of my grandparents (I'm old) left school at 14 and spent their working life down the pit. They told me they were pretty near starving in the 20's. But Attlee created the NHS in the 40's. There was progress on many fronts during the Blair / Brown years until ........

There may be big periods where the conservatives rule the roost with their climate of fear and distrust, but over all we have a much "better" life than my grandparents had.

We just have to not walk away and trust that our moment will come again. Maybe another step forward or at very least a turning of the tide. In the mean time, look after each other and be good woke citizens,
