POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR
by Our Apocalypse Staff
HELENA HANDCART
THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode.
It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services,
not to
mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed).
Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).
No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.

We shouldnโt have existential elements in the hands of private companies. We might all pay a bit more tax to re-own it but building reservoirs and mending pipe work spilling billions of litres of water a day can set many to work like the US in the 1930s. Climate change is the justification.

The government needs to find a way to nationalise all water Infastructure. Water is existential to the country nothing is more important. Building reservoirs and replacing the pipework now climate change is on us is absolutely critical. Domestic Grey water capture grants as well.

Climate change recovery as a solution to future water stress is much slower than this intervention.

All water infrastructure needs to be taken back into state ownership as a priority to replace Victorian pipe works and stop billions of litres of water a day being wasted through leakage. Reservoirs needs to be built. Water is an existential element.

Allan Quatermain H Rider Haggard. Ripping yarn and surprisingly evolved from time to time. Couldnโt get it published today obviously because not THAT evolved - whites still superior etc, women still weak. Thrilling adventure though.
