well, at least the system hasn't completely collapsed - we're not entirely lost in a dark age, even if the prime minister seems to think we are.

what the prime minister should do in this situation is to tell citizens to remain calm and to request that people steer clear of the area in order to ensure that they are not interfering with the work of professionals, that is soldiers and engineers, who have the situation under control.

what the prime minister should not do is take his fucking kids down to play on the beach, in an airheaded attempt to teach them about the social values underlying thatcherism, namely that the state is abdicating it's responsibilities to the church.
