Fern Riddell

“comfortable. It should always be questioned, it should always be held to account. False idols are the most dangerous gift history can give you. If we choose to ignore or sanitise the actions of those who founded our societies, who changed them and, in the long run, made them a better, fairer place to live, we choose a life of ignorance and lies. Heroes can be corrupted, leaders can make terrible choices, but each moment, each action–whether questionable or justified–has led us to where we are today.”
