I'll let you know about 3.10pm on sunday

If I'm like the vast majority who only care about what's going on in their own "castle" then it's better.

However, I'm not and it's not.

developments in and availability of medicines around the World, the development and availability of clean water systems, the communications revolution allowing even the remote community access to educational materials and the development of bio fuels allowin the poorest communities cheaper and safer access to energy are encouraging.

"That was fun and to round off the day, I am off to steal a charity collection box and then desecrate a place of worship.” - Smokey, The Selhurst Arms, 26/02/02

The world is in a very bad place:

Economic strain, Iran with Nuclear weapons, mass migration due to civil war, Climate change including year upon year of drought, deforestation, massive pollution of the oceans, species extinction, mushrooming human population growth, the running out of oil and other fossil fuels...

The occasional water system and an expensive flat in London is not a better world.

Wake up, the place is f*"ked

The end is nigh. There are many similarities to the last days of the Roman Empire. Definitely a fin-de-siècle feel about the place.

It could be a whole lot better than it is. But there are too many greedy folk about. The world is fcuked, and we are the problem.
