Old Manners

by David Wemyss (July 2011)

But who cares? These people always think you can get rid of inequality by sharing a travesty of whatever is supposed to have been unfairly exclusive. This is a typical manoeuvre on the part of those for whom it is already settled that sharing is bound to be a good thing, regardless of what actually gets shared. And good things are indeed to be shared. They will be in a plan.

David Wemyss graduated in law from the University of Aberdeen in 1977 and worked in local government in that city until he retired in 2011 at the age of 56. He continues to live there with his wife and son. Having had four academic papers published in the British theology journal Modern Believing between 2003 and 2008, he is now developing a portfolio of essays in cultural and political criticism.
