A kinder Britain is possible
There are days that are blue, sunny, warm, kind and fun; But there are also grey-blue, white-blue, very grey, less than they seem but also more content than they seem days. Why is it so difficult for people to enjoy and celebrate both? There is still sun when it’s cold too- there wouldn’t be daytime without it. Why are there so many people still so unhappy? Why are there so many people complaining?
Why does reality need to be like the movies, when reality is what the movies should be inspired by?
The UK is grey, but it is not always grey; The countryside is plenty and the puddles muddy. But there are also clear, dry paths, even when it’s cold. There are sunflowers in the fields and there is tall grass and short grass. There are trees that resemble one another but look nothing alike. There are large logs to sit on when you want to rest. There are kind people on the path and off the path who smile and wish you well, they are happy and alone, but they are also with people who they love and their dogs too; Who run in swirls to catch their own tail and play with the squirrels loading their favourite tree with food they’ve collected from their daily forage.
The cities are many and the culture diverse. The nationalities of the people living within the cities is even more diverse. There are people in the pub with their families enjoying a Wetherspoons lunch; Both inside and outside even when rain is pouring and the sun is behind the grey clouds, on a colder, shorter day, which is still plenty and wholesome to enjoy. You can hear people enjoying their own solitude and the connection they have with the people they love both within and outside of their community. The football is on the TV in the background but it is not always on the TV; There isn’t always a TV for sports in the pub. But there is women’s football also streaming on the TV in pubs because they are also loved and winning their own sport.
The rivers are grey, but they are also filled with minerals and rocks and soil. They are also blue-grey and there are many people who still swim in them, even when there is traffic. They call it happy, free time in the water that is just as fun as the beach; White, yellow, pebbles, sand, concrete and gravel; Muddy toes and boats that cruise along with flowers, nicknames that are unique and quirky and people who still like to say hello and wish swimmers a lovely day. They’ve also shared a joke about the weather and the politics and spoken passionately about the NHS.
The people are real, the people are different, the people are playing their own style of music- not just hip hop, indie, pop, rap and R&B. They’re also playing afrobeats, reggae, dancehall, rock n roll, heavy metal, folk, blues, jazz and contemporary, alternative, all styles of music. The music is similar but also changes between venues and between different peoples homes. People dress how they like- not just with fashionable and branded clothing; But also in unique, comfortable, edgy, retro, quirky and eccentric clothing; That has been seen many and plenty in the 1910’s, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s, 2010’s and 2020’s.
