Resistance through resilience

Resistance through resilience. As I said the other day, we're going to be under Conservative rule for at least a decade now, I reckon, or even longer.  For now, all we can do is resist, the Monbiot has the right idea, or at least is looking in the right direction...support each other, a ground up, community based resistance, building resilience. We can take inspiration in some part from nature. Take the old enclosure here, weather beaten, battered, the trees subject to endless elemental assault, and yeah, some fall, though even when slighted they still resist, remaining local features, offering support to other woodland inhabitants, floral and faunal, for decades, and as a whole the woodland endures. Visually too the woodland landscape of Burley Old reflects our own; over all our system endures, although our socio-political landscape is changed irrevocably.
