pestilence is knackered

cartoon in the last Eye - the four horsemen, one of them, famine maybe, says 'look, Pestilence is exhausted, War, why don't you get down there and have a go'

i've got nothing on this - the thing we 70's/80's kids (me at least) were always terrified of seems to be unfolding right in front of us. there's a fucking war on - right next door. we're not over a global pandemic. everything else pales into insignificance, except the continued dishonest incompetence of our leaders. seems in poor taste to be having a pop at anyone over this, but for fucks sake they're posturing whilst they flounder & continue to hurl honours & cash at each other on a daily basis.

and i'm on holiday.

can't imagine how i would respond to being asked to grab a gun & stand in the street. unthinkable. i've nothing.
