Should patriots care?

Yes of course patriots care - they care about their country.  They wouldn't be patriots if they didn't care about their country. Should we for example care about these people?

Kathleen McClelland and Michael Curry paid £30,000 for a caravan which was then stolen, apparently at a time when it was not insured.  When the police eventually found the caravan, however, there was a family living in it, and the police claimed to be unable to remove them.

Alison Waldock of Cambridge has been sacked from her job as a school dinner lady after she accidentally served gammon to a Muslim pupil.

Chocolatier Simon Dunn has closed his shop in Wilmslow.  He will continue to run his business, but there will be another empty shop unit on his local high street.

First, I have to express surprise that anyone could shell out £30k for a caravan, but then be clumsy about insuring it.  Second, I wonder how much they - or Alison Waldock or Simon Dunn - have ever donated money to a political party which actually seeks to govern Britain for the British people.

As an aside, Simon Dunn's MP is George Osborne.  Maybe the local Conservative Party should deselect him before he does any more damage to the town.


When you meet someone who is clearly expecting sympathy from you in respect of a predicament they are in, then you might like to consider whether or not their predicament has a political dimension. If there is, then do not be afraid to say so.
