Nationhood is all about sharing

ALL British adults should recognise that our nation is divided into two opposed views of life.

The Conservative belief of society is most clearly expressed by Tory MP Owen Paterson, who thinks that top people, tycoons, are the wealth creators of a nation, and should be rewarded by billions of pounds, while whole sections of the population should never own any share in the nation, from birth to death.

This view of society is remarkably similar to feudalism in the 12th century, based upon similar beliefs.

James Dyson, tycoon of vacuum cleaners, is Owen’s view of an intellectual giant, so other Brexiteers might be drawn to such views, by such false prophets.

The radical belief rejects that, with the intention that every citizen shall find the spirit of responsibility, in ownership, with those he loves and also the wider community, in a creative and rewarding life.

Every citizen should own a stake in his country, before he can take a pride in it, and perhaps learn to be generous to others.

The whole idea of a nation is the sharing of the fruits of the Earth and the determination to develop the potential of every child, by investing in his and her education and moral development, as a matter of fierce pride for all the rest of us.
