I’m With Gary, Jack

According to Wikipedia - “"I'm alright, Jack" is a British expression used to describe people who act only in their own best interests, even if providing assistance to others would take minimal to no effort on their behalf.”

It’s not a healthy attitude really. Having an “I’m alright Jack” attitude might benefit our pockets in the short term, but it will undoubtedly shrink our souls. Sometimes you can watch it happen in real time.

And doing the opposite of this, is not a bad place to start when we are deciding how to make personal and political decisions from a position of relative wealth and security.

It’s especially important to do this when the people in power, and the people who have the Big Microphone, are not doing so.

The world feels like it could go in all sorts of scary directions. But for some people the things many of us merely fear are a present reality.

So I’m with Gary, Jack.

ps. If you don’t know the story in the UK news at the moment, the above might seem a little opaque. All you really need to know is that it’s about football, and not music.
