MAY DAY
Today is the first day of May, May Day! It is a day for celebration which goes back centuries. It is also the birth date of a great man, Arthur Wellesley. If you don’t know the name, he was also called the “Iron Duke”, “the man who beat Napoleon”, The Duke of Wellington and many more.
He was a warrior, liberator, and statesman, a beloved and despised man. He was a patriot, villain, aristocrat, commoner, in short, he was a man.
I salute Arthur Wellesley and all who fight to protect the nation they love, or to free people from the domination of others. I chastise any who want something for nothing, take more for themselves than is deserved and belittle those who give their all for freedom.
