Not many comments under this as it’s just a little too close to home. Not quite the cache of bashing those with cash on distant moors.
As I – and you in your Janus moment – always bang on, the impact of our consumption outweighs any man with a gun.

I’ll happily comment……..
Humans are the most destructive animals that have ever walked this small planet. The vast majority of us are now too greedy to care about the consequences of our own actions (although a few pop their head above the parapet now and then), let alone the actions of others!
If we look closer to home, this country has over the last 30 years, become a more selfish group of individuals. I would love to say ‘Society’, but I fear we are no longer one.
Our motto seems to be, breed like rabbits, consume as much as one can, and sod future generations!
