On my recent trip to the UK I managed to convince some of my family members to see the light; I’ve donated to and supported many pro-British parties and institutions in the past, I’ve done many of the practicable steps when I live miles away.

However, I can’t just show up to a protest march in London can I?

I’ve been told by many that my gift is with words, so that’s what I am using to make my mark, so at least I can die with a clean conscience.

I feel that this Churchill quote once again has relevance today- “There is no room for the dilettante, the weakling, for the shirker, or the sluggard. The mine, the factory, the dockyard, the salt sea waves, the field to till, the home, the hospital, the chair of the scientist, the pulpit of the preacher — from the highest to the humblest tasks, all are of equal honor; all have their part to play.”

So, that's what this is about? Great Britain? Not New Zealand?

Color me confused.
