  • UK Earthquake, February 2008, Magnitude 4.7

    February 27th, 2008

    quakewhitet.jpgJust felt what at first I thought was a heavy gust of wind but what then very quickly became an earthquake. We’re in Leeds but quickly got reports from friends over instant messenger, irc and twitter that it’s been felt elsewhere in Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and Nottingham.

    I’m hearing the collective throat clearing of every geologist in the country in preparation for various TV and radio interviews.

    I personally have been expecting the end of days for a few years now and am well prepared in the form of:

    • 5 torches
    • high capacity Internet link
    • several comfortable cushions
    • a good stock of tea
    • prayer books for all the best gods

    At the end of these…

    Israeli girls write on shells

    …are scenes like this

    Why won’t the British and American governments support the end of this violence? Why is America rushing to continue it’s arms supply to Israel? Why is the British government allowing the transport of these weapons through our country? In the face of mounting evidence, why don’t the corporate media challenge the claims that our governments support peace? Why do we let all of this happen? Do we not care? What is wrong with us?
