Riots, terrorism and violent reaction; the headlines don't change much do they?

Of course, if you have not been affected directly you can hope "they" will deal with the problems and things will get better.

Politicians will promise to get tough on public order, defence and "security" matters. Religious leaders will say theirs is the only way and most of us will press on believing none of them and hoping to survive.

At the Peace Studio we believe only people who are not career politicians, bigots or glory seekers change for the better the way we live.

You too?

Whether you are a "mover and shaker" or someone who just wants to get on with life quietly without too much fuss this site could be for you.

Read our essays and tell us what you think. With your permission, we will publish your comments (anonymously if you prefer) or if you put together a short essay we may publish that.

You do not have to agree with us - just to have a point of view to express on the causes of peace.
