WORLD CITIZEN LETTERS

Thanks for visiting.

This is a world citizen website unattached to any other and containing various sections, with more planned. That may be thought idiosyncratic, and since every world citizen is different, no worse for that.

Some of the sections illustrate personal interests or specialist knowledge. Those will concern anyone whose interests coincide: others may disregard them. They will include Cycling, Devon and Family History. They already include Language, treating one of the great unnoticed democratic deficits, which is that most of the world does not speak English, now the language principally used in international affairs.

The main body of the site is several hundred World Citizen Letters. They give a world citizen view of a diversity of current topics. You are welcome to reproduce any letter, so long as an attribution to this website is included.
