Some might say that life these days is whatever you can get away with.
Mark Anderson writing for UK Column gives us a quick tour of the U7 - the urban seven network of cities that some think have ideas above their station, harping back to the times of independent city states that existed before the formal concept of the nation was forged by agreement, by war, or by any other means of extending the reach of one's power.
We sometimes forget that the nations of Europe were originally far more fragmented than they now are.
But whilst the U7 does seem to hark back to those times, we do have to ask ourselves how much legitimacy they have in the eyes of their citizens? After all, they do seem to espouse the top down dogma of the globalists rather than the bottom-up aspirations of their people (ULEZ anybody?).
And is that not the primary battleground of our modern world? The Globalists want top-down one-size-fits-all control with the inevitable rigidity that that implies, whilst the people would be better served by forging their own solutions through freedom of choice, thus allowing an abundant variety of solutions to flourish, and the people to adopt those that best fit their circumstances.
So we have to ask - what is the true purpose of the globalists and whose interests do they actually support?
