The tag line was (paraphrasing here), "If aliens from a distant galaxy had come and threatened our planet with this destruction, stripped the earth of her resources to take it back home, would we have tried to stop it, to do something about it - is that what it would take or is it really too late?"

I...The grand prize is the destruction of the earth.<br />In the UK I have had to watch the appalling spectacle of the government do everything they can to destroy civil society and now it's all about tax cuts and more growth or finding the ever elusive Brexit dividend, which we all know doesn't exist. It's a rat race to the bottom for standards and decency.<br />Yesterday we watched the UK's first wild fires as it hit 40 degrees. I know there are now a lot of people waking up and starting to protest. Let's wish for a end to consumerism and direct our consciousness to ecology.<br />Best wishes from a overheated UK,<br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
