" ... The French boat tried to travel undetected by flying a British flag — the waters in the Mediterranean were mostly controlled by the British at that time — and they risked the fear of being sunk. They were unsuccessful, however, in avoiding unwanted attention and Britain and France again engaged in another bout of neighbourly fighting. There was an incident involving the Sartine and a British counterpart as it arrived off the shores of Marseille in May 1780. The British opened fire, killing the captain and two crewmen. Ironically, it was not the British who entirely caused the Sartine’s downfall — they eventually let the ship pass — but after the British let the boat sail off, without a captain to guide her, the boat ran aground on rocks at the harbour’s entrance and became stuck. Due to her size and the way she capsized across the entrance to the port, no other boats could enter or leave for a considerable time. ... "
" ... “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,” the famous JFK quote, has never been more resonant. As we cry out for decisive, communicative leadership and a big state response to prevent financial and healthcare ruin, the quid pro quo becomes clear. I recently found out that Margaret Thatcher’s famous quote about there being “no such thing as Society” was taken out of context. What she actually said was as follows: “There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look after themselves first. It is our duty to look after ourselves and then, also, to look after our neighbours.” I think what she’s saying is that society isn’t an entity, it requires membership. It’s up to all of us to create a sense of belonging. The transactional process of “taxes-in-services-out” cannot replace human connection, yet restricting services does not draw neighbourly spirit to fill the gap, as a decade of failed austerity policies have proved. Neither left wing structuralism nor right wing agency has created sustainable communities: we need both. How encouraging then, to note, that within 24 hours of the U.K. government asking for 250,000 volunteers to support the health crisis, half a million had applied. How reassuring to see the plethora of local community groups that have sprung up to distribute food, medicine and human contact. This pandemic might see the tipping point for Medicare for All in the U.S., for improvements to sickness benefits for workers and an end to precarious work. It could see an increased respect and understanding for those who deliver the hard work that we’re now relying on, and an acknowledgement of the power of flexible working/education for disabled people. It could see us reengage in our neighborhoods. If society is a construct, let’s construct it better. Yes, with formal wealth redistribution structures but also with the willingness for inclusion, trust and empathy. ... "
