Pine Cone and Moss

"Time has come for hard defence,slave on the end of innocence. Got to get ourselves back to higher ground 'cause fear has come to town."

The news for the past few months has been so dark. Gloom looms within the economy, a media empire has been caught out committing deplorable acts and London being set on fire was the only catalyst for our "Prime" Minister to return from his holiday. Being seen to be doing as opposed to actually doing seems to be the mantra for our government and politicians these days. Hard action instead of thought out strategies and assessments seems to be the prevailing method of attack when anything goes wrong. Over the months, the country has become dangerously right wing. The floods of images documenting Libya's liberation cover the news screens and yet there's an infinite sadness to almost everything on the news. A friend mentioned that the price of oil has dropped since the fall of the infrastructure in Libya. It's hard to not be cynical.

Still, could be worse.
