Think of Our Future - Vote Small.

.

I have tried to keep politics at arms length from these blogs.

But as I only get a vote once every five years,

I feel I cannot let this 'final' election go unsupported.

It is 'final' because if we are not careful, we are going to loose everything our forefathers fought and died for;

Sovereignty, Democracy and Freedom of Speech.

.

.

Those three things are disappearing fast.

We must stand up and be counted.....

Or be swallowed up and lost.

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- UKIP leader Lord Pearson, speaking in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

A Small Barrel Organ

Only a small organ but it shows the principle of barrels and pinning.

If you look closely, you can see the extra rows of pins for the other tunes, passing between the wooden 'keys'. The barrel would slide to the left or right to select and play a different tune.

If you wondering why I have popped this up, it is for Saturdays post over on monkey-organ.
