Gordon Brown on liberty
What is my central thesis?
It is the view that Britain is defined not by race nor ethnicity – as those who would impose a cricket test would have us do – nor by our ancient institutions, nor just the various national traits for which we are famous across the world, but by our shared values formed and expressed in the best of our history…
He gives a lecture on liberty.
and starts off with
“There was a time when words were like magic,” a North American Indian poem runs.
“The human mind had mysterious powers, a word spoken by chance might have strange consequences, it would suddenly come alive and what people wanted to happen could happen all you had to do is say it.”
which is some times how I feel about stories.
