And Then, For Our Time...

   While browsing the comments that nobody reads over at Going Postal yesterday, I bumped into this below from a fellow with the name sileic – suppose I’d better apologise for assuming gender – that we should all take onboard... 
   I've just got sun burnt even though I'm wearing factor 50. I wear it to protect you so please wear your sun cream to protect me.  
   I'm blessed to be triple sun creamed or it could have been much worse.
   The new variant of UV radiation is no joke guys. Please get sun creamed.

   Please, oh please all you sun cream sceptics and conspiracy nutters, take that advice onboard  and smear yourselves head to toe multiple times as, I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s the right thing to do and if it saves just one life...
   Looking to the media future of a melting planet, I see the need for a sun block passport and app. and possibly enforced lock-downs when the temperature gets to thirty four degrees. For our own good you understand.
   Meanwhile, Where we be it’s wot, ‘till recently, would’ve been called a glorious summers day but in the wacky world in which we now find ourselves, it’s become a Defcon 4 danger to life extreme heat event that may overwhelm the NHS, blessed be its name. How sad it all is.
   You’d be forgiven for believing things are all being orchestrated to insidiously instil maximum fear factors into the population  for some near future nefarious purpose.

Quote;  Bertrand Russell.

“Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.”

Stellar sarcasm.. both yours and 'his'. No better way to demonstrate to the hard of thinking. Absolutely love it.

Ripper,
Many thanks. That comment by sileic must be the cracker of the season. Spread it far and wide.
Yup, I visited the two sites you linked. Man, we need more smiles like those. Wonderful.
Oh, and stay cool buddy...
