The Post Bag: Letters To Squall

Lords Of Creation

Squall 07, Summer 1994, pg. 32.

Dear Squall,

Many thanks for excellent Spring '94 issue of Squall.

It is a hard struggle to fight for freedom and justice - like trying to plug the gaping holes in the dyke of democracy with one’s fingers!

As a member of the Labour Campaign for Travellers’ Rights and Liberty, it is sad to read of Labour opting for the soft option of abstentions. They must be challenged to stand up and be counted to vote against the Criminal Justice and PO Bill at Report Stage. They claim to base their politics on values and social justice.

I was inspired by your quotes ie. Alice, Gerrard Winstanley; but not John Major quoting George Orwell out of context.

Here is one of my favourite quotes of Digger Winstanley re freedom of land to all:

"None ought to be lord over another but the earth be free for everyone to live on."

Yours working for peace and justice in creation.

David Penney (Rev).
