well said Damian, Often wondered what invisible people have invisible rights meant. It takes on a new perspective people for me now. Maybe it should be inaudible people? Connected/prominent people have a voice. If you don’t have a voice technology can wire you, can connect you, can make you speak louder. People need to be heard to be understood and to be understood to be accepted to be accapted to live.

Damien the poem below sprung to mind. (Got the detail from Wikipedia)

Contrast Niall Crowley with our banking and political leaders. It all our responsibility now

“In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”
