Brushbail’s View from Zog

To introduce some light relief into such serious subjects we have created Brushbail, an imaginary character to help us all see situations in a different light. If you think that is strange then we suggest it is far less so than the fantasy world financial system, backed by fantasy politics that has led to huge worldwide waste.

I am Brushbail and I come from the planet Zog. I am interested, having mastered space travel, (passing one of Mr Branson’s Intergalactic Voyagers on the way) and working within the natural laws of space, in how you as a race feel you can challenge these laws.

No other race I have come across has managed to do this and survive for that long, but I suppose you are a very young race in interplanetary terms with much to learn. I am intrigued by your philosophy that you can push natural systems beyond their capacity then rely on ‘science’ to come up with a solution.

Your approach to rivers, for example, is entertaining. I see that instead of letting them naturally flood to deposit their rich silt on your land to nourish the crops, you have deepened and straightened them which makes it flow faster and pushes the silt past the land. You then pay more money to put artificial fertilisers on the land saying that this ‘saves you time’. You then try to prevent the river from meandering by giving it concrete sides, which merely pushes the flooding problem further down river. Such a lot of your ‘money’ and time to create a problem which should have had a natural solution. You have even driven out Beavers in the land you call ‘Britain’, which felled the trees and damned the rivers, to make it flood saving you the trouble. Now I see that you are paying to have the river bends put back in to redeposit silt and create still pools for fish to feed. You then build your homes on areas set aside to take the floods that have been caused by too much tarmac and don’t use sedum plant roofs to soak up water and allow its slow release when it rains hard.

In your ‘free’ time you then watch movies revering the North American Indians who did understand these natural laws, on how you exterminated them. You now seem aware of ‘climate change’, but ask any self respecting ex dinosaur, who will tell you that ruling the planet for millions of years is as nothing compared to the power of nature.
