Initial Results Can Be Deceptive

[Padre Andrew]

Sometimes things are greater than they seem.

Sometimes it looks like what you’ve done is not enough. But the initial result can be misleading – it’s the reverberations and the after-shocks that cause the real change.

The sands are shifting, with all sorts of unknowables in the next three years. A general election in 2015; a Scottish election in 2016; very probably an EU referendum in 2017.

I think we may have set in motion events which will bring about our desired result sooner than we think.

If you’re too impatient to watch the whole clip, the vital scenes are at 2:20 and 5:30.

PS

Before any pedant says I’m comparing the UK state to the Nazis, I’m not. I’m just using a familiar film clip to show how what can look like apparent failure turns out to be very different.
