Get Reel. There Are No More Fish

Get Reel. There Are No More Fish

RANT WARNING: This rant is all over the shop and everyone is implicated.

We simply have to STOP mindless consuming. Anyone who is telling you that there are plenty more fish in the sea is lying. 

Starting with Malcolm - who promised he would get the government on board with climate change. He was lying. After we all waited and hoped for so long, it's some irony that his final act may be to drop an emissions target to keep the very same political hallway weasels happy who are about to out weasel him.

Don't listen to politicians. They are out of touch with us minions. They are only in touch with... fucked if I know. Maybe ghosts of the past or private interest lobbyists with more money than you & me or maybe just some fantasy they see when they lick the mirror each morning.

The planet is getting hotter. Look at the temperature gauge. Actually, don't bother with that. Get off the couch, walk outside your air conditioned mcmansion and feel the fucking temperature. If you won't get off the couch, you lazy bastard, watch some news. That firestorm in California burning all those houses is real. It's not a movie. What do you think is coming this summer?  

Resources aren't endless. We are running out of food. How many pictures of drought riddled farms that haven't seen rain in years do you need before you believe it's true? Where do you think our fucking food comes from?

Stop buying STUFF. We don't need more stuff. More stuff is a BIG FAT waste. We have to stop wasting food, wasting time, wasting lives, wasting our planet's assets. 

And stop eating processed crap that looks vaguely like food. It's CRAP and it’s making you FAT and SICK. It's killing you or if you are lucky, you only get a big FAT WAIST. 

Stop buying tee-shirts you don't need, that are cheaper than a cauliflower. (Yes, I hate cauliflower too.) Someone is getting paid one tenth the value of that cauliflower to make, ship, warehouse and deliver that cheap teeshirt that is cheaper than a cauliflower which I don't even like. (How is that even possible?)

Stop buying teeny little half bits of fruit wrapped in big assed pieces of STUPID PLASTIC film. (Why is that even possible?)

Stop going shopping at lunch time because you have nothing better to do. (How did we even get to be so mindless?) We have plenty of BETTER things to do - starting with mind reclamation.

Every one of us makes a difference to this planet. It's just how we choose to make a difference that counts. What are you going to STOP doing today to make a difference? Or START?

If you need someone else to tell you what to do, this is where people like Tim Silverwood come in. Look at that face. I bet he doesn't swear. He's been asking us nicely for years to Take 3 for the Sea. Not take 3 more hamburgers, cakes or bags of chips and eat them. Take 3 pieces of rubbish every time we leave the beach. And don't bloody leave 5 pieces and pick up 3. 

Thanks to @be_an_unfucker for the motivation for this rant. 

If anyone knows Malcolm, please tag him coz he needs to get out of spineless politics and get back to somewhere he can make a fucking difference. (This rant was published on 24th August, 2018).
