Police, Respect, and a Shifting Society

We don’t talk about respect much anymore—not real respect, the kind that once surrounded uniforms and night patrols.

I remember protests. Marches. People shouting down the system. “Defund the police!” they cried. And yet now, driving by night, I see officers everywhere—working, stopping cars, facing risk after risk. No fanfare. No applause.

And still... they’re painted as villains. Every stop becomes an accusation: racism, sexism, bias. The truth? Sometimes you're just speeding.

We’ve built a society obsessed with isms—until the very idea of justice starts to fracture. One crime, two standards. One law, many definitions.

What happened to responsibility? To knowing that at 12, you could already know right from wrong? That a crime is a crime—no matter your age, your colour, your background?

We talk of rights, but not of duty. And the police? They’re caught in the middle. Disrespected, overburdened, politicized.

You want change? Start by restoring respect. Teach manners, teach structure. If an officer stops you, you respond with dignity.

Justice must be blind—but society has to open its eyes.

A Wimbledon Tale: Banister, Michael, and Patty's Search for Truth through Architecture and Education

In the picturesque setting of Wimbledon, a unique meeting unfolds. Sir Banister Fletcher, a pivotal figure in architectural history, returns to King's College School, Wimbledon. Alongside him are Michael and Patty Hopkins, the contemporary architectural visionaries behind the new Music School at King’s. As they walk through the campus, their conversation intertwines education, architecture, and the pursuit of truth.

Banister, reflecting on his legacy, shares how his landmark work, "A History of Architecture," co-authored with his father, shaped his vision. "Architecture," he says, "is a mirror reflecting the values and functions of its time." Michael nods, adding, "The Music School's design, with its focus on acoustics and integration into the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, aims to foster an environment where creativity and learning flourish seamlessly."

They stroll towards the Great Hall, one of Banister's notable designs. "This hall," Banister muses, "was crafted to inspire and elevate the minds of young learners, much like the pages of our book."

Patty, ever insightful, draws a parallel to Robert Graves, the poet who lived nearby on Lauriston Road. "Graves searched for truth in his writings, just as we search for it in our designs. Every brick and beam here tells a story, just as every stanza of Graves' poetry does."

Their conversation shifts to the essence of education. Banister reminisces about his own academic journey, from King's College to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. "Education," he declares, "is the foundation upon which we build our future. It shapes our perspectives and fuels our creativity."

Michael and Patty recount their own paths, with Michael recalling the serendipitous lecture that led him to architecture. "It was a chancy hunch," he says, smiling. "But it led to a lifetime of passion and purpose."

As they stand in the foyer of the new Music School, the conversation turns introspective. "In architecture and education alike," Banister concludes, "form must follow function. The structures we create, whether physical or intellectual, must serve their purpose with integrity and elegance."

Their shared journey through King's College School, Wimbledon, becomes a metaphor for the broader quest for truth and understanding. In the harmonious blend of past and present, they find not only the legacy of architectural excellence but also the timeless pursuit of knowledge and meaning.
