Not Just a Community

Many many people complain about the lack of community. Erosion of togetherness in society. Stuff like that.

If that's true, yesterday I experienced what could be the last form of genuine community living - speed camera warnings.

Cars flashing. Hand gestures.
"Careful fella. There's an evil speed camera van round the corner."

Even though I wasn't speeding at the time (seriously) I was impressed at the compassion shown to fellow road-users.

No community anymore? Not yet sir. Not yet.

The only problem with that is that the community in that situation is built around avoid being caught doing wrong. People should be caught speeding, it's dangerous.
But yes it is kind isn't it.

p.s. I just saw Graham Rowntree on the TV. If ever there was a reason for a scrum cap...
