Battle of Britain - by Richard... Thursday, August 12, 2010
Slightly out of sync with the posts. I seem to have fallen into a new rhythm of starting the piece on the day, but finishing it on the next, thus keeping two days on the go at the same time.
Thus, I have finished Day 32. I'm quite pleased with this one – it was difficult to write, but it came together quite nicely. I touch on censorship and propaganda issues - hence the cartoon, taken from the piece (the wording on the blindfold reads "press censorship").
I've made a good start on Day 33, but have a lot more to do, especially with the illustration.
Today I'll make a start on Day 34 and, as always, I'll be adding to previous posts and working on the "backgrounders", with a little help – there are a few in the making.
In between wishing I hadn't started this, I'm privately wondering whether I have the stamina to finish, but it's turning out to be such a fascinating project that I would have difficulty walking away from it.
Ye're all going to dieeee - by Richard...
Die, I tell you, die ... ye're all going to die, die a most horrible death ... die, yes you ... die. And so reports the BBC: "Many more people will die of heart problems as global warming continues, experts are warning," they tell us.
"Climate extremes of hot and cold will become more common and this will puts strain on people's hearts, doctors say ... A study in the British Medical Journal found that each 1C temperature drop on a single day in the UK is linked to 200 extra heart attacks."
"Heatwaves, meanwhile, increase heart deaths from other causes, as shown by the events in Paris during summer 2003."
The worst of it is that these people are serious and so is the BBC. They cannot see how stupid they look, how stupid they sound, and how stupid they are. In fact, they are beyond stupid. They are barking mad.
Amongst other things, I wonder if any of them know what a Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate is, and what thus happens when you drive from the coast (altitude 0ft) to my home, altitude a smidgin short of 1000ft? Are they really saying that this puts people at risk of a heart attack?
It is these people that are the real health hazard – they sap our life energy with their constant, sterile diet of scare stories. But if they are so in love with the idea of death, they should embrace it and save us leading them there. I am sick to the back teeth of them.
