Originally posted at Soundcloud.com: August 2011 – I watched England burning and people stealing trainers. Ironically the flames were eventually doused not by force but by Rain; although even amongst the embers there is still a perceptible glow and enough residue for future ignition. I did my best to avoid the seemingly endless Newsnight style pontification, the search for reasons why, the source of this cancer and the fumbling attempts at a cure. This daydream nation, it appears, has finally awoken to find ‘a sick and broken society’ yet many are still blind to the obvious; all complex systems are subject to chaos. Greed and consumerism are pretty poor foundations to build a society on. We are simple things easily attracted by the glister of shiny things. Not much more then than Magpie thieves in that respect. Until we realise that the shiny stuff like an iPhone4 is a luxury object and not basic human need very little will change. Want less.
