Stephen, I normally enjoy reading your pieces and generally enjoy your written observations on this platform. But this .....

this ....

this is something else. This is on another level.

Rarely do I get a chance to read a piece that doesn't waste a single word in covering such a huge topic. Truth, honesty eloquence and sheer passion exuded from every sentence, alien concepts to those whom you described within it to a tee.

More than once I had to stand up and pace the room while reading, to allow my mind to digest your words.

I see the cowardice and wilful smug blindness you describe all around me in people I have known for decades and it can be lonely and isolating, but words like yours in this article, written so succintly and passionately, inspire and embolden me for the dark times that gather ominously and inevitably on the horizon.

Thank you Stephen, fantastic writing, you have outdone yourself. Pearse would have loved it.

Well documented and well written. My favorite was the statement that the “leaders” have lost ALL moral authority to lead. When that state is reached it is not a government, but an occupation by a hostile force.
