The Future

With Labour doing a passable impression of the Tories, setting their sights on Pensioners, Children, the Disabled and most poor people while letting big business, arms companies, and other Billionaires carry on regardless.
Assorted Fascist parties doing well in various countries around the world.
A possibility of Trump winning in America?
Western governments applauding Israel for committing daily war crimes.
Despite a supposedly left wing (sic) government, the BBC and all major media outlets are still pandering to the right wingers.
The Tory leadership to be contested by two corrupt nutjobs, which will no doubt lead to a Conservative / Reform alliance at the next election? with the ultimate grifter Farage poised to be the next PM.

So I've got that early 80's no future nostalgia going on.
Recently watched Threads, The War Game, Don't Look Up, Armageddon and a few other disaster movies.

Climate catastrophy - Too Slow
Asteroid Destruction - Unlikely
Alien Invasion - Improbable

So it'll have to be World War 3 nuclear annihilation,
or if there is a God? time to be doing the flood thing again.

Election Apathy

A few tables from election 2024 which back up my opinion.
Those with sense either chose the "least worse option" or didn't bother.
Those without sense voted for the other lot?
