And Then A New Candle Anthem...

With regards to the latest atrocities, this time in Spain, I note, without falling over backwards in amazement, that our ‘leaders’ have popped up in the media repeating the same hollow words they use every time. No change. It’d be refreshing to hear something along the lines of; lock an’ load; we start the fightback after coffee tomorrow.

However, there’s one thing to take note of in amongst their words, that being something along the lines of; “We stand together with our friends in {insert country}.” Think about that. With deranged white vans aiming themselves at large crowds, our ‘leaders’ are basically asking us to form ourselves into yet more large targets.

Anyhoo, I picked up on a toon on TV last night and after further investigation I believe this should be the favoured vigil anthem. It may, of course, already be in use; I have no idea as I’m not a great vigil attender as I believe a bomb trumps a T-light in any fight.

It has all the correct ingredients; a bear, kittens, politicians in the form of fat frogs, all the correct words such as  ...one thing is certain we’ll never give in. Side by side, hand in hand we’ll all stand together and as a professional vigil attendees appeasing bonus, it also has a chorus of, Bomb-bomb-bomb sung by the frogs thus it’s all inclusive and the bad guys shouldn’t be too offended. See? All sides happy and clapping along together to the same toon. And it’s pretty catchy as well. Wot’s not to like?

If you’re an atrocity aftermath party person, try this on for size...

         

Quote  Terry Pratchett.

“Contrary to popular belief and hope, people don't usually come running when they hear a scream. That's not how humans work. Humans look at other humans and say, 'Did you hear a scream?' because the first scream might have been you screaming inside your head, or a horse backfiring.”
