I reckon less than that.Martin Luther King, Jr., reminded us that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Change takes a long time, but it does happen. ...
I give this lot 2,3 years before the **** show starts to crumble.
Now the edifice is beginning to crumble.
This new normality is already leaving more children in poverty
People living hand to mouth.
People have already experienced evictions and the housing crisis is the worst on record.
The number of temporary jobs and casual labour, alongside cuts in spending on housing, health and social care is already having a serious negative impact on millions of vulnerable, long term sick and disabled people.
There is a tipping point in every generation and it often starts with what at first seems trivial.
Those institutions and resources which held ordinary people for decades - which created support, friendships and bonds is a hollow shell and the fabric of our world has been creaking for many years.
Not the "values" espoused on the box by politicians and millionaires,
But the values of sharing, caring for each other and supporting each other in times of need.
Those values are etched on civilised society and comes a time when the straw breaks the camels back.
They can use force and truncheons, tear gas, tasers and torture.
They can beat people in their cells and put the knee on the necks of innocent protesters.
But take strength from those who survived nazism and the ovens of Treblinka and Auschwitz.
Take hope from imprisoned Palestinian children and from those fighting tyranny in Saudi Arabia and around the world.
The light of hope is what drives people on to overcome what at first appears insurmountable.
Hope is like a candle.
It will always light our hearts in the darkest hour.
No force can exstinguish that light.
We have it to light our path, whilst all around the demons and devils of power and corruption fall.
Hope is the fuel to enable us to carry on
