Political Caption Competition
Hands up who is a tad annoyed with New Zealand for enabling the bombing of one of the poorest nations on earth for the rules based order but won’t hold Israel to the same standard?

Around 200 men (or “Crusaders” as they preferred to be called) marched from Jarrow to London, carrying a petition to the British government requesting the re-establishment of industry in the town following the closure in 1934 of its main employer, Palmer’s shipyard.

Government is needed to control business interests and limit wars, and protect basic national assets (like shipyards and skilled tradesmen and women) and act for their fellow citizens’ good, so we people mass every now and then to remind PTB of this. But citizens need to be more regularly involved as thoughtful, informed, wise people and take more responsibility for our locality and country’s decisions and actions I think. (I’m trying to get informed and passing on and learning from others, as a start.)
Don’t know the words but the feeling in my heart is that it is all the people on the Earth coming out in favour of letting all people have satisfactory lives; getting away from menacing and destructive wars enabled by sick and poisoned minds. Satisfactory! – can’t promise happy but with the basics and help with troubles, and the right to pursue personal goals within reasonable limits and a respected place in society for wages or in community work. A big ask when one looks at reality. But why not?
