Listening to Chandos Anthems: ”God is very greatly to be feared in the council of the Saints”. Can’t not think of that in #localgov terms.
Now up: ”Righteousness and Equity are the habitation of thy seat, Mercy and Truth go before thy face” #localgovclassicalsongbook

We talk about them all the bloody time, but they are functionally identical to broader European values. twitter.com/IntegrationAPP…
