A Liberal Democracy
I am a weekend commuter to the Lake District and there is a constant stream of military aircraft flying at low level around the fells. Being an avaition-minded sort of chap, I quite like these thingies. Happened upon a local (actually our plumber - salt of the earth, reliable sort of chap) and I asked him what he thought of the aircraft. His reply was to the effect: 'I dunno; never really noticed them.'
Now, when surveying the local papers I note that they are bulging with letters of complaint about military aircraft transgressing the National Park. The supplied addresses are revealing - all visitors. Note to self: Must remind them that the yellow helos that lift them off the fells are also military aircraft.
Point of this diatribe - well, very little. However - Orion's Belt - if you don't like something, why not petition your local MP? After all, it worked for fox-hunting...
