One of the best bloggers going is North Northwester and this is one of the posts which make him what he is.
Set in 2015, it's the tale of the Great Disaster of 2011:
The Queen opened a joint session of Parliament , leading the surviving 230 Peers and 173 UK Members of the Commons in prayer for the dead of London and Birmingham.
The Leaders of the Houses of Lords and Commons, the Speaker Sir John Redwood, the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition Sir Frank Field, the leaders of the Liberal Democrats and also the six MPs of the Patriotic Front, along with the leaders of the newly-formed Royal Celtic League consisting of most of the formerly nationalist parties of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all joined Her Majesty in hoping that the civilian rescue workers, returning armed forces, and survivors would continue to bring ever greater order and security to the blasted and still burning areas of the Home Counties and Midlands.
They also praised the Welsh and West Country Shire Civil Contingencies Divisions managing the diminishing but still dangerous levels of airborne fallout.
Well worth a read, North Northwester.
Anyone trying it on in my pahct of Yorkshire will find themselves on teh wrong end of my spade.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, the fragility of our society (dependence on oil, small reserves of food) is something that needs addressing, and a subject our politicians do not seem too interested in.
