Tragedy

To Manchester to see a tragedy, not the economic situation, as ever the place was heaving, rather we went to see Antigone at the Royal Exchange . Brilliant as usual, it was a sad tale about the problems that happen when those in power ignore the deeper laws. In this case it was that deep universal law that all humanity deserves a decent burial.
It has set me thinking of the other universal laws and to reflect on Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand who have tormented a grandfather over his granddaughter's behaviour... a joke too far and the cause of a great outcry.
What other universal laws are there? Whatever they are politicians are not being popularist when they listen to these voices but maybe sometimes here the deeper voice of the ancient human laws.
