Dear Remain Campaign and Voters,
Today we woke up to a result we did not hope for or expect. We have been gathering together for the last few months to discuss the image of Britain as part of the EU. We have laughed, we have argued, we have talked truths and we have also shared lies. We have sought out justice and unity. We have campaigned for what we believe to be a better and brighter future. We have spoken. We have been heard. We have been left despondent and hurt.
We must not give in. The values that we have and have formed the foundations of our decision to vote Remain are on the whole, full of integrity and honour. We believe in Unity. We believe in Freedom. We believe in working together and fighting for each others rights and privileges. That does not end today. If anything we can draw strength from our Unity during this campaign. Today a battle may have been lost but we have a long fight ahead of us. We have an opportunity here, to have an impact on the future of Britain together. We can still fight for unity, tolerance, inclusion and generosity. It is our duty to stand up and help form this "independent" Britain.
So let us not fall into a pit of despair, or be riled by jeering and celebrations. We shall mourn a while, whilst we say goodbye to friends and unions we did not want to say goodbye to. We shall stand with heavy hearts and shoulders whilst we turn away from a group that we have loved for a while. We shall then turn back to them, with hope and joy. We can extend to our neighbours love, tolerance and friendship. We have the opportunity to still talk, walk and eat together. We have the opportunity to still be a world wide community. So let us rest a while and then stand back up, ready to fight for these values, ready to combat injustice, exclusion and hatred wherever we may meet it. Let us stand in the hope that has been set before us.
Ed out.
In the Jewish culture bread and wine are used to represent the necessary provision and blessing of the Jewish people by God. This Blog is here to enable me to process thoughts and musings over the basic provisions for man that God provides. Some days may all be about God, faith, Church etc. and some days may be all about human interactions and understanding of life and some days it may be neither and completely random gobble-de-gook. I hope you enjoy perusing through my musings and cogitations.
