BREXIT HARA-KIRI CAUSED BY LIES OVER TRUTH ‘It is essential to distinguish between the rightwing papers and politicians that whip up hatred in Britain, and the rest of the country … The EU needs to protect Ireland and make sure that if the UK opts for the no-deal disaster so many of its mainstream leaders and publications crave, it is clear to the rest of the world who is to blame. Because Brexit is something that the UK is doing to its European neighbours, not the other way around. For years now, a decisive segment of the British establishment and electorate has been poisoning itself with lies, delusions and the demonisation of everyone with a different opinion about membership of the EU. These people want to throw themselves off a cliff and take their country with them. It is a deeply painful process to follow, especially for those who know that a different Britain is possible. Alas, the EU cannot save a country that does not want to save itself.’ Joris Luyendijk https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/sep/29/europe-isnt-enemy-undermining-britain-tories-nasty-party

Thought for the day… Back in the early 70’s, Dave’s ( Eurythmics) stepfather, Julian, was obsessed with the fact that the ice caps were rapidly melting… He used to underline and quote passages from academic books about global sea levels rising exponentially while the planet grew hotter. He even used to go out walking with a sign board to warn people about what was happening. It seemed mildly eccentric at the time, but it made total sense. The ‘hippy’ movement was originally all about ecology and the destruction of ‘Gaia’.. but our Western world and post World War 2 modern consumer society is driven by profit, convenience and speed. Everything we do wreaks havoc on the planet.. This can’t be fixed by recycling plastic bags, straws and bottles.. It would require a MASSIVE turn around in industrial, economic, manufacturing, social, cultural systems and practices. Everything is inextricably interwoven.. Humans are the dominant creative and destructive life form on the planet. photograph courtesy of @mikeowenphotography
