Sorting through some old boxes and came across this letter to Ceramic Review from 1988
What we witnessed in London at the historic Trafalgar Square, in a country built on Judeo-Christian values, was a group of people attempting dominance over our capital city and our culture. We are not going to surrender everything that was built over centuries and defended at great cost in two world wars for us to be a free, independent nation. The British people will not put up with this any longer — simple as.
A massively consequential investigation by Alan Rusbridger into GB News: how "one political party in Britain has effectively ended up with its own television station". Raises deep questions about hi-jacking of British media/political culture: thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…
FT (£) Dispute over valuation of unbuilt plots at Battersea Power Station led to firing of chief exec Donagh O’Sullivan, who thought they were overvalued and Malaysian owners, who begged to disagree.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day all! Irish heritage appears all over Canadian symbols from the Coat of Arms, the old flag, buildings and so much more! The Celtic harp which has come to represent Ireland and the Irish people along with the clover, used by Saint Patrick to represent the Christian Holy Trinity can be found on the Coat of Arms of Canada.
Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.
