Re: West Worthing?

I was born before any 'Baby Boomers' were, and Hell will be colder than -273 degC before I vote for Brexit or anything like it. Over a thousand years of mindless nationalism and power politics in Europe caused endless war, misery and death for millions. One of them was my Dad, killed in action in 1944, and buried near a small town in Italy.

It's time that we tried to behave differently. Say, with the degree of minimal concord, consideration and mutual respect needed to make a village work as a decent community. On that scale, Europe has often worked quite well. But when politicians decide that they need to start beating the drums to get elected and folk fall for that old trick yet again, you can be sure that the villages will be burning soon. And the cities, too.
