And Then, Getting There...

   So the ‘news’ over the past few days has all been about aliens and balloons. Personally, I can’t see aliens with the where-with-all to whizz across the galaxy to get here, finishing their journey by transferring to balloons for the last hop, can you?
   When you look at all the technical advances over recent years, all those advances in the capability of killing each other and techno super-duper early warning and radar systems to stop ‘them’ getting here to kill us and all that time all wot was really needed to whizz{?} through all those protections? A bloody balloon?
   I do believe that long, arduous journey we’ve been on is about to come full circle and the next time that nice fellow visits from Ukranky he’ll be begging for more arrows and a supply of those new, powerful cross-bows. Oh, and can we have some of they catapult thingies? We have the rocks. And how about training my chaps in long range, accurate spear throwing? Thanks.
   And the visit thereafter? Hay, we need more clubs. Got any with a pointy bit bashed through the lumpy, hitty end?

“Nobody trusts anyone in authority today. It is one of the main features of our age. Wherever you look, there are lying politicians, crooked bankers, corrupt police officers, cheating journalists and double-dealing media barons, sinister children's entertainers, rotten and greedy energy companies, and out-of-control security services.”
