 How can an ordinary person influence what's going on in the world? There's no such thing as an
ordinary person. |
| We are all extraordinary and we can all do something. |
| We can inform ourselves of what is going on in the world. |
| We can share this information with others. |
| We can influence those in power. |
|
The Internet is the people's source of power and
influence. Protect it from those who seek to limit freedom. Use it
well. |
| The Activist moved away from his working class roots following
graduation and pursued a career in private industry in various market
sectors. This experience, which included working at all
levels, consultancy and a spell in running his own company, gave him an
insight into how capitalism works at the micro economic level.
Politically he also moved away from his Labour roots (and has never gone back), supporting the Conservative party with increasing uneasiness through the Thatcher years, abandoning them when seeing the first interview with John Major. The Liberal Democrats now express views broadly in tune with his own. Until forming this web site he had never been active in politics and has never been a member of any political party. His new-found activism reflects the degree to which politics and global economics have moved away from humanity. Following early retirement, through redundancy, he resumed his alternative career in counselling and psychotherapy, working in Primary Care, higher education and in private practice. His views are informed by an active Christian faith which affirms Christ's teaching and at the same time deeply respects the faiths and views of others. Recently he has become a regular attender at Quaker meetings, being attracted by the broad compassionate nature of Quaker thought and belief as well as the Quaker tradition of social action. |
