In the deep dark recesses of the Local History library

I've spent six hours today in the Liverpool Records Office wading through microfilm of local papers from 1886, then reading obscure and long-forgotten talks given by HSB. Lovely!
HSB was quite outspoken about the excesses of Victorian Liverpool, yet he always put forward postive suggestions, it wasn't just soapbox moralising. Perhaps we accept the immorality of today's society too lightly and should be more outspoken.
HSB was sure of this: the heart of the problem is the problem of the human heart. A change in the law or in the "system" won't change anything unless people are changed. And Jesus is the great change-maker.
The MPs who debate changing the system to push out the greedy cheasts in parliament could do with remembering that - change comes one person at a time, not one regulation at a time.

I'm off to Hawarden tomorrow to stay at St Deiniol's for a few days and I'm not sure if I can blog from there.
