HOwever, perhaps if others overseas are trying so much harder we should take some comfort from that. Unfortunately, since Thatcher deliberately destroyed the notion of 'society'here the chickens are now coming home to roost and we cannot get a sane national view or agreement on what should be being done (or by whom)in the general public interest. I can only hope that the recent floods following on an unprecedentedly warm Spring will have some affect on a wider audience in time for them to wake up now rather than later. We all should be helping others to make the connection between obscene 'western' consumerism and the events taking place around us. Good luck.
