You are right – we do not know each-other – but I know your work, as I have been studying the UK far-right for some time. You are a self-hating gay – if memory serves me right. A horrible, bigoted dwarf of a man who was accused by an ex-police woman of rape and abusing teenagers. I am surprised you are not stood in the ranks of the demented. So, “Colin Robertson” – I will post your ridiculous video because it is of public interest. How could the UK produce such useless people as these – and yourself.
It is thought that “soul” is of a Germanic (Pagan) origin of uncertain meaning. Western secular narratives tend to incorrectly use “soul” when referring to “psyche”. The Greeks would not have known this term and did not agree with the notion of a spirit existing in opposition to the body. This is a purely Christian corruption of this Greek term. It is a habit of laziness that even academics who should know better at Oxford and Cambridge – still confuse “psyche” for “soul”. These two terms are not the same and should not be conflated. An argument can be made that “psyche” could be construed as the “moment of conception” in the womb (rather than a “soul” which is separate from the body, and which has nothing to do with sexuality). Psyche is the “essence” of psychological and physical existence.
If this is the case, then ironically the building was soon “removed” for some reason or other (to be fair, according the maps, there were many places termed “lodges” and they seem common). In recent years, this area was a multi-storey car-park (not far from a cinema and the town centre) but has just been developed into expensive flats. The “Rectory” used to located nearby – but that disappeared decades ago (and was flats for disabled and vulnerable people for awhile). I have spoken to numerous local historians who have no idea as to “why” Sutton is associated with Robin Hood. I came to live here in the early 1990s – and the idea serves as a flowing undercurrent of identity in the area that is never questioned. I have no knowledge as to why this is. Obviously, there may well be a historical connection that nobody remembers today. Be that as it may, surely the English notion of “Socialism” (the redistribution of wealth) has its bases not in (the far later) Marx (who was exiled to 19th century England) – but in Robin Hood’s idea of “robbing from the rich to give to the poor”. Whatever the case, an old tree in Sherwood Forest has finally died after 1200-years of life. Robin Hood and his men are supposed to have met and/or hidden under its branches.
Four very different but equally important community groups have been recognised with a nomination for the BBC Radio Cornwall Make a Difference Awards.
The shortlist is made up of groups that focus on LGBT history, on campaigning for the rights of people with disabilities, on memory loss and on cancer support.
The topics might be serious but the staff, volunteers and clients of these Cornish collectives wanted to talk about the fun, companionship, togetherness and love they felt in each and every session.
The winner of the Community Group category will be revealed at a ceremony in Truro in September.
This is why I admire the genius-structure of “Taxman” – but thoroughly reject the underlying selfishness that informed its production. As for ideology – The Beatles were all over the place. I think “money” was their god – and the transcending freedom this gave them from the cycle manual labour, paying bills, and being in debt – enabled them to take drugs, reads books and explore different realities – realities not normally open to the British workers of the day. John Lennon was did flirt with Maoism (and had an affair with his “Chinese” Secretary) – and they all wore Lenin-type hats from time to time (I do not think Lennon knew anything about Maoism). But this does not amount to Revolutionary action. According to the US government – Lennon was a “Trotskyite” – but I doubt his ideological development had progressed to him taking sides in the unfolding of the Soviet Revolution. He once said the the Socialist had messed-up the world as much as the capitalists – and this was to a group of UK students! Perhaps we expect too much from our millionaires as the game they play is designed to enrich and then move privilege away from the path of Revolution (keeping them firmly ensconced within reaction).
