Are they starting to listen

Well it was a close one, but finally on the 20th of February the uk parliament will discuss the validity of the state visit of the American leader. The petition and protests are working.. slowly.

Granted it's a small victory in the scheme of things, especially considering the said same leader has sacked his own attorney general for disagreeing with him. And now the whole of Europe is concerned that he is using his relationship between uk and American to destroy the European Union, not that it needs much help to self destruct. But it's proof there are people in our government prepared to listen to the people and act on it.

I have to say at this moment in time I am very proud of the British public by the way as a mass they have held themselves. At the moment tempers and emotions are high and to be honest despite our reputation we british can blow up into more riotous behaviour, the poll tax, police shooting and the November March all come to mind. But no since all this kicked off we seem to be curtailing our tempers to bend the law back into serving us.

I know that people are scared, and that's probably the most dangerous of emotions any society needs on a mass scale. But to be honest any person in power worldwide has just as much reason to be scared, because of simple maths. For big as any government or army is there is always more population. Think about it, governments have been reducing their  numbers to appease the budgets which means for every MP in the UK there are hundreds of people. The same for every other country. So just by sheer numbers it is possible to overthrow any crazy decision.  Especially as there seems to be plenty of legally qualified people offering their help and surprisingly judges and politicians who are all prepared to risk their job security to defend the rights of the public.

I have to be honest, when I started my own campaign of standing up for justice I was expecting it to be a bit more physically aggressive. That's one of the reasons I have not attended the marches in person as I already have one broken leg that's enough. But the strength and decorum that the masses have held their ground is impressive.  And it's that action than means we can all rise above the tantrums of those so called leaders. By having the moral high ground we are making them listen, abet slowly.

We are only 11 days into this dictators reign, but if we chip away slowly at the ears of those who can stop this we will be rid of him. I'm beginning to hope it may be before the 100 day mark.

We are the people, we are society every one if us. We know what is right.
