DON’T PANIC!

The Words on the cover of The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, and also the words used by government or the media to instill the most panic in a population. 

We see it time and time again, terrorism, oil, food, it’s like a controlled response in people, which the government can use, it knows it can tell us to do one thing and be assured the opposite will happen, but also means governments can’t control things when it actually does want people not to panic.

I don’t know if it’s always been like this or if it’s more a recent thing? Maybe the media, that loves to stir shit up? maybe it’s the mistrust of politicans in general?

I only mention it really as on the news, a strike as meant there might be petrol shortages in parts of Britain, the government and aurthorities said there was no need to panic buy, so obviously some people have rushed out and filled thier tanks, meaning in some places supplies are running low.  It was much like Northern Rock, the British Bank, it was struggling a bit with the present troubles in the markets, loans etc, the British Government askes people not to panic, next thing you see is big queues of people desperate to get thier money out.

I’m not sure why I’m typing this, but I’ll post it anyway, sod all else to post.
