The Conservative party conference  this week raised that phrase in my head - but also I'm trying to sort out some stuff and I am ( again ) beset by an alarming inability to make a decision. The song sounds rather preachy - but its not - its directed at me . It started shape as a comment on how I react to events rather than try to shape them - I'm a reactive individual rather than proactive. 

I know reactionary doesn't mean that it means "opposing political or social progress or reform" But in my own small way thats effectively what I'm doing.....
