“UNITED, WE STAND, DIVIDED, WE FALL” – By Des Kelly  It is the first day of May, “MAYDAY”, as it is generally known.  It was also a well known “Signal Of Distress”, an S.O.S. if you like, and after I read the Cardinal’s view of the recent happenings in Sri Lanka, I totally “second” everything he says.
