Boy, The Things I Do For England.

I Sometimes Wonder If Two Thirds Of The Globe Is Covered In Red Carpet.

Some Recent Occurrences Such As The Bse Disaster And Even Perhaps - Dare I Mention It - The Present Severe Weather Conditions In Our Country Are, I Have No Doubt, The Consequences Of Mankind's Arrogant Disregard Of The Delicate Balance Of Nature. We Have To Find A Way Of Ensuring That Our Remarkable And Seemingly Beneficial Advances In Technology Do Not Just Become The Agents Of Our Own Destruction.

If English Is Spoken In Heaven. God Undoubtedly Employs Cranmer As His Speechwriter. The Angels Of The Lesser Ministries Probably Use The Language Of The New English Bible And The Alternative Service Book For Internal Memos.

Scientists Themselves Readily Admit That They Do Not Fully Understand The Consequences Of Our Many-faceted Assault Upon The Interwoven Fabric Of Atmosphere, Water, Land And Life In All Its Biological Diversity. But Things Could Also Turn Out To Be Worse Than The Current Scientific Best Guess. In Military Affairs, Policy Has Long Been Based On The Dictum That We Should Be Prepared For The Worst Case. Why Should It Be So Different When The Security Is That Of The Planet And Our Long-term Future?

We Don't, In A Sensible World, Want To Hand On An Increasingly Dysfunctional World To Our Grandchildren.
