Winter draws on!

We have needed some warm clothes on today. It has been really cold, or as my father used to say "harry and willy" = chilly.



I would not like to be living rough on a day like this, it must be truly awful. Yet I know there are hundreds of people without homes. There are so many empty flats and houses now, going to Leeds on the Train the other day there was block after block of empty flats. On "the estates" there are boarded up and empty houses. Some of these houses that are being re-possessed must be standing empty. WHY?



It is obvious that Communism didn't work, because not everybody was equal. I have seen Easten Berlin, after the wall came down. I have stayed in a flatblock there, where every room was identical, where two to three families shared bathroom and toilet. Everyone had the same carpets and furniture. No individuality, no self expression. Yet other "Comradres" had houses on the Black Sea Coast, and black limos.



It is obvious now that Capitalism doesn't work, because not everyone has the same opportunites.

We have the "Haves" and the "Have-nots".



There must be a sytem for us to live and work together - why can't I think of it? Why can't somebody think of it?

It's not only cold weather, there are cold hearts and minds out there.
