The Weight of Glory – C. S. Lewis (1980)
In light of the recent terrorist type attacks and the upcoming general elections in the UK there has been a lot of social media coverage of people threatening to leave the country to live somewhere safer.
It has made me wonder just where people consider to now be a good option. Spain, Australia, New Zealand … with the imminent exit from the EU it might not be as easy as it first seems and many ex-pats are in fear that will no longer to stay in the country they have chosen to call home.
The Global Terrorism Index (GTI) ranks terrorist activity by world nations. The latest report in November 2016 covered 163 countries with the top two being Iraq and Afghanistan. What surprised me was the UK ranked 34 which was two above the USA. [i]
Apart from all being part of the human race I am not convinced that we are all one body, or have ever been so.
