In fact, we were asking for it before all this began but no-one was really listening, only a few were paying lip-service to our requests for change.<br /><br />Will our combined voices be loud enough or, as in life PC* will the selfish, thoughtless Muggles outnumber us, and shout down the sane voices? Maybe not, I live in hope, because if we do not hold onto hope, what is the point.<br /><br />(* - we had BC, then AD, perhaps PC - pre-Covid?)
