Sellafield's Nuclear Leakage is The Least Of Our Problems:

As I write this the kids across the road are noisily having great fun in the sun .. good to be a kid eh.

The best thing about Autumn /Fall is it's fruit - my kitchen is perfumed by heaped large quinces from the tree I planted around six years ago, - and garden pumpkins ready for soup and roasts.

- 'Stewed' with custard, baked into a pie, - as quince cheese to spread on your bread - or quince jelly to eat with meat dishes - even make your own rakija spirit. It's a shame that "nobody" grows these 'old fashioned' fruit anymore .. too much trouble to cook and eat them!

The kids have a reason for their carefree play - but I'm not sure about the rest of us. - Daniel Ellsberg reckons that nuclear weapons have been deliberately used by US Presidents dozens of times .. in the same way that a handgun is pointed at someone in a confrontation - resulting in a climb-down without pulling the trigger.

How can any ordinary joker defend himself against nukes?

Got a Gun? - It Seems Everyone Else Has..
Especially The Governments.

Add to this deliberate threat the 'accidents' and false alerts (1979, 1980, 1983, 1995 ..) with consideration of the 'Dead Man's Hand' & 'Second Strike First' policies and the guaranteed existence of the 'Doomsday Machines' ...  plus the facts of a 'Nuclear Winter' ...  Well I don't mean to sneer at our concerns over Climate Change - but there really are bigger elephants in the room to lean your plastic supermarket bags against eh.

Is there a reason that nobody much seems to care or want to think about it? - Perhaps they are all completely fed-up and in total denial .. I know that most folk don't want to even think about what's in their own back yards .. for example my old UK home High Wycombe. - How many locals know what's hiding under Marlow Hill / Handy Cross and other nearby sites?

Here in 'Nuclear Free New Zealand' there's not much thought going on about "Trump's finger on the really great nuclear button".

- Just as well really, - as there'd be a lot more launch buttons than shown on his desk - just about one button for every US officer ranking major or above .. well there has to be - otherwise just one strike on Washington would paralyze any US military response everywhere.

.. You didn't really believe that only The US President can unleash the death rockets did you?

- Then there's Russia, China, France, UK, Pakistan, India, Israel, North Korea, Iran? ..

Trident Trigger:

.. So the UK has four "Trident" (Vanguard Class) Submarines - each with forty nuclear warheads - now around 100 firestorms equals 1x Nuclear Winter ...
