Hymn to Plunderers

Omg I absolutely love this, we have such a rich history and when backed into a corner we are relentless, being raided and invaded as many times as we have created our character of backing the underdog. Hence the SAS motto - who dares wins - or was that a trotter? Stolen i to my RL for future reading :)

Hello there

I’m just gonna assume that you’re probably a Brit as well… :]

You are so correct in your observation however. I really loved that you saw the country as a collective and the spirit that holds.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I really appreciate that.

Sometimes I wonder what those ancient Brits must have thought about the old Roman ruins. They probably had a much better understanding than we have today. Sometimes I also wonder if the "dark ages" weren't as dark as they are made out to be. It was a time when the majority of the people either sank or swim without the everyday assistance of a governing force, and eventually thrived to the point to where it became one of the most influential empires in human history. There was a reassuring historical self-determination there that ought to give us hope for these very similar turbulent times when the possibility that the Beast System we all depend on may not be available to the masses or We the People. It had to happen then, and it has to happen now. Or soon. (Hopefully not in our lifetime...I'm too old n lazy for the f'in thing now, amirite?) The plundering has already begun, quite a while ago, in fact. Really love the imagery here and the places it takes my imagination!
