World Cup Without Wales, Northern and Republic of Ireland and Scotland

Who to support as Wales, Northern Ireland, The Republic of Ireland and Scotland failed to qualify? Well I've just picked three teams randomly, Belgium, Panama and Tunisia. You can support them as well if you like. "But that's only three teams not four", I hear you say. Don't worry in the very unlikely event that I need to support anybody in the 2nd round, I will 'randomly' pick another team then 😉

I Will Vote Leave, Although We Will Lose

I will vote leave because I love my Country and all others. I don't care for the rubbish about economics on both sides, I just want FREEDOM. 

"THE men whom the people ought to choose to represent them are too busy to take the jobs. But the politician is waiting for it. He’s the pestilence of modern times. What we should try to do is make politics as local as possible. Keep the politicians near enough to kick them. The villagers who met under the village tree could also hang their politicians to the tree. It’s terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged today." 

~G.K. Chesterton: Cleveland Press interview (March 1, 1921)

I think the EU will win and thus our Countries and Europe will lose. But I will vote to leave anyway.

"We must do what we conceive to be right and not bother our heads or burden our souls with whether we'll be successful. Because if we don't do the right thing, we'll do the wrong thing and we'll be part of the disease and not part of the cure."

Stirling Chesterton Society

FIRST MEETING 23rd FEBRUARY

We meet on the last Thursday of each month in the Library Bar of the Golden Lion Hotel, 8-10 King Street, Stirling, FK8 1BD, from 7.30pm.

We hope to revive an interest in the most unjustly neglected writer of the early 20th century. His works range from philosophy and religion to detective fiction, featuring the famous Father Brown.

Do his ideas about Distributism seem more timely than ever in the 21st century?

Chesterton was a convivial writer best enjoyed in Symposium.

Please bring a couple of your favourite quotes, as well as an amusing Chesterton short story.

Or just come along.

I found this here, thanks to @AmChestertonSoc on Twitter.
