‘There are none so deaf as those who don’t want to hear’
Liked this excellent editorial from The News:
Yet more curiously, there appears to be a positive dearth of arrests of those who publicly carry a range of exploding and projectile weaponry, are unafraid to use it against officers of the state and the citizenry, and are able to flout any and every law that the land may have with complete impunity and cut the heads from those who displease them. These paragons of virtue regularly issue threats to kill, have by their own admission carried out those threats and promise to deliver more of the same in the future. Clearly, these men present no threat whatsoever to the state, which has itself displayed its gratitude by ceding large tracts of scenic countryside and entire local administrations into their tender care.
Full piece here.

…and there are none so blind as those who do not want to see!
and none so apathetic who mere bystanders choose to be!
I guess we are all guilty of the latter, wouldn’t you agree?
